  • Davie Crockett from Over The Hills And Far AwayJust a great song, I'd love to know if Chris wrote the lyrics to the music, or just wrote them and fit them after. They fit perfectly and I love the flair his brother plays with in this, like someone fused Jimmy Page, Keith Richards and Joe Perry into one guitarist, or well, two in the Black Crowed case.

    I think this song is about more about what drives one to use drugs than drugs themselves. We get overwhelmed with more emotional turmoil in our lives than our brain can handle, so we seek a quick fix, or a Remedy, in the form of substances. Pro freedom of choice, whether we want to suffer the direct pain, or numb ourselves with a remedy and cope with it later. But in the end, the lesson learned is, remedies are only temporary we need to fix the problem for a real cure.
  • Scott from Kutztown, PaQuestion. Who are the female background singers on the Black Crowes music video "Remedy?"
