 Good songs, wimpy production July 11, 2000

Having owned their three previous albums, and having seen them perform some of the songs from "Three Snakes" in a small Atlanta club (one of the best concerts I've ever seen!) before this album was released, I was expecting more. Most of the songs themselves are good, but the sound on this album is weak, weak, weak. "Nebakanezer" was INCREDIBLE live -- the small club setting I saw them in only enhanced their hard-edged, bluesy sound -- but comes across very thin on the album. If they'd have had the same sound they had on "Southern Harmony" (their best album), this one would have been excellent. These guys need to go back into the studio with someone who can recreate their live sound, which rocks your socks off.

For a long time, I thought rock and true good music was gone. This album has restored my faith in music. A must have for any music fan who likes to lay back and enjoy a cd.
A little disjointed, but a great record.... May 9, 1999

This band throws away so many killer songs that and I don't know why - The flow of this album is where the problem lies, but there are at leaat 8 amazing tunes that are musical and lyrical bliss - If you're sick of the usual Crowes "full throttle" approach, then this record is a great listen - A lot of drugs are incoroporated into this album, which makes some tunes classics and others a little silly - With 3 Snakes, you'll find a mixed bag of music including some jazz and funk, and as always the usual soul from Chris - But you won't be dissappointed with the interesting direction the boys have decided to go with a more selfish approach.....
the Black Crowes continue to amaze me with this album September 29, 1999

It's too bad the Black Crowes are best known for their work in the early 90's. Their later work (that includes this album) truly shows their songwriting ability and musical genius. It's a great album to listen to all the way through. It shines the best in the middle with the songs "Girl from a Pawnshop," "Halfway to Everywhere," and "Bring On, Bring On," although not a song on there is bad. I strongly recommend this album.

I grant you it's not perfect, but why has it been labeled the Crowes's nadir. It has soul, beauty and grace(particularily the second half). Take "Bring On, Bring On," it starts with gentle sturmming guitar and a sing-along chorus, and shifts into an uplifting tone with vocals that are simply soaring and heavenly, all accented with exquisite piano, guitars and drumming. Plus they sum it all up with a perfect touch of brass work. Three Snakes And One Charm is filled with variety and densely layered music which can both rock and reach the soul. It's sad few people will ever appciate it.
