    I love it! Chris isn't afraid to step out and evolve his sound -unconcerned about the so-called "music critics". It's obvious he makes his music to please himself - and if it also pleases some of us - then so much the better! I wish New Earth Mud a prosperous and beautiful journey! (p.s. check them out live if you get the chance - they're amazing!)

    When I bought this CD I wasn't expecting to buy a soundtrack to my life, that's exactly what I did. I have listened to this CD constantly since I have owned it. When I first listened to it, I was breathless, everything song that was on it was something I could relate to in so many infinite ways. Ride is the only song on here that doesn't really fit with the rest of the album but it's still fantastic in it's own right. Actually I wish that Mint Tea,Mother of Stone or Beginners and Sinners was on there in it's place. Oh well, not my descision. By the way the free DVD was an awesome plus...… Expand

    This album is evidence that the front man for the World's Most rock and roll Rock and Roll band has a very soulful side as well.

    Stellar work. Does take a little time to grow on you as it's pretty mellow. Beautiful songwriting.

    New Earth Mud is the best CD I've heard in a while. It's a CD I will never get tired of. I've seen Chris solo 3 times and the songs are even better live.

    Granted, this record contains neither 3 minute pop songs nor Black Crowes blues/rock belters; but it is still a wonderful little album which unfolds slowly and rewards repeat listens with subtle melodies.

    "F" rolling stone...this is not a black crowes album, instead robinson leaps forward as more than a front man, but as a sincere heart-felt song writer. Beautiful melodies, woven around a tapestry of 70's era musical twinings. an excellent record

    Who cares about the Critics! This record-New Earth Mud- is a masterpiece. As a 10 year Black Crowes fan, I'll give all these songs a 10. Long live rock and roll. ( C.R. is a genius) " I don't believe in Fables anymore"

    It grows on you! When i first listened to the cd it was a little too mellow and on the boring side. Being the BIGGEST fan, I listened over and over and now I love it! I saw him live at the State Theatre in Detroit and I was very proud of him.

    At first I thought it was just the Black Crowes without Rich, but then I let go and really listened to not just Chris but to the rest of the band. I can dig it. It makes me smile and that's what music is all about.

    Robinson has soul as with the Black Crows only moreso on New Earth Mud. The lyrics are heartfelt throughout this album (I live in a 70's world) and I can't help but listen over and over as there are songs that are so relative with life....check it out, it's worth it...different and diverse to any new music that's out right now...I must say, every song is a 10....can�39;t wait for the next solo album...… Expand

    Song writing and musicianship have lost their place in society today. With all th crap and manufactured generic bullshit that is played on the radio, MTV and all that other media influence shit, it is great to hear someone express themselves in a prolific manner and step outside the norm. Chris Robinson has definutely redifined himself and has shown where the talent of the Crowes is retained. God Bless Chris!… Expand

    Este disco está muy bien hecho, sonidos muy finos y arreglos excelentes hacen de este disco un imprecindible . Grande Chris Robinson, mantiene vivo el espiritu de los Crowes en esta producción.

    With too many half-baked songs, he ultimately comes off like a generic amalgam of a bunch of Seventies singer-songwriters.

    Some rubbishy funk aside, Robinson sounds more energised than he has in ages. [Nov 2002, p.113]

    A very fine record. [Feb 2003, p.86]
