    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.

    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"

    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 Robinson has soul as with the Black Crows only moreso on New Earth Mud.

    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.

    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]
