The Black Crowes released their fourth album, Three Snakes and One Charm, almost 25 years ago remaining untouchable when it came to reviving classic-rock sounds and re-imagining them in original new ways. Among Three Snakes' many highlights, "Under a Mountain" was a cryptic Southern rocker (sample lyrics: "Lay down with number 13") that was written in five minutes, according to Rich; "Nebakanezer" was a psychedelic strut laced with serpentine guitars and "(Only) Halfway to Everywhere" an irrepressible singalong; the Indian-flavored "How Much for Your Wings" made for a beguiling detour and "Blackberry" was a funky rhythm & blues penned in the spirit of the band's earlier, breakthrough hit with "Hard to Handle." For the 25th anniversary we wanted to create something as unique as the record, and asked illustrator Nathaniel Deas to take viewers on a visual exploration of the album!
