Review by Bobbi Bacha

Bad Luck Blue Eyes by The Black Crowes: A Psychedelic Rock Gem That Still Hits Hard Man, if you’re into that raw, soulful rock sound with a twist of psychedelia, Bad Luck Blue Eyes by The Black Crowes is one of those albums that just grabs you by the collar and doesn’t let go. Released in ‘93 on Def American Recordings, this sucker feels like it was born outta some smoky late-night jam session where everyone’s riding high on vibes alone. It’s not perfect—hell, it’s messy at times—but isn’t that what makes it so damn good? Let’s talk tracks, because honestly, this album has moments that stick to your brain like gum under a barstool. First up, “Bad Luck Blue Eyes Goodbye (Album Version).” Oh man, this song hits different. From the opening riff, it’s clear these guys weren’t messing around—they came to play. Chris Robinson’s voice? Pure gravel-and-honey magic. You can almost picture him belting this out while leaning into a mic stand, sweat dripping down his face. There’s something about how the lyrics feel both personal and kinda cryptic—you know there’s a story here, but it’s like they’re daring you to figure it out yourself. And the guitar work? Damn near hypnotic. Every time I hear it, I’m transported back to my first listen, headphones on, staring at the ceiling, thinking, “Whoa.” Then there’s “Thorn’s Progress.” This one sneaks up on you. At first, it might seem like just another bluesy rocker, but give it a minute—it builds into this swirling, almost chaotic groove that feels like getting lost in a fever dream. The way the instruments layer over each other is wild; it’s like watching paint drip and turn into art right before your eyes. When it kicks into full gear halfway through, you can’t help but move. Hell, even typing this, I’m tapping my foot like crazy. It’s the kind of track that reminds you why rock ‘n’ roll used to be dangerous. Now, sure, there are other versions of “Bad Luck Blue Eyes Goodbye” on here—an edit and a live take—but for me, the album version is king. The live cut’s cool too, though, especially if you dig hearing how much energy the band brings onstage. But let’s keep it real: sometimes less is more, and the studio version nails it without trying too hard. Here’s the thing about Bad Luck Blue Eyes: it’s not flashy or polished like a lot of stuff from the ‘90s. Instead, it’s gritty and unapologetically human. Listening to it now, years after its release, feels like finding an old mixtape in the back of your car and realizing it still slaps. Maybe that’s why it sticks with you—it doesn’t try to be anything other than what it is. And hey, here’s a random thought: if this album were a person, it’d probably be that guy at the party who shows up uninvited but ends up being the most interesting dude in the room. Not bad for a record that came out nearly three decades ago, huh?
