The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion is the second album by the American blues-rock group The Black Crowes. It was released on May 12, 1992.
It features four hit singles; "Remedy" (#1 on the Album Rock Tracks chart for 11 weeks), "Thorn in My Pride" (#1 on the Album Rock Tracks chart for 4 weeks), "Sting Me" (#1 on the Album Rock Tracks chart for 2 weeks), and "Hotel Illness" (#1 on the Album Rock Tracks chart for 6 weeks). It was a record for an album to feature four album rock number-one hits (previously held by ZZ Top in 1990, with three). The album itself reached the top spot of the Billboard 200 album chart, propelled by the success of these singles.
In 2006, the album was ranked number 100 on Guitar World magazine's list of the greatest 100 guitar albums of all time.[1]
