If you look closely at the cover of Charlie Garrett Band’s In Time, among other things you’ll discover the Black Crowes sophomore effort, The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion, resting on a littered table. That record displayed the undeniable maturation of the Crowes, and after a strong debut it’ll be interesting to see if Garrett makes a similar ascent.  Talented players, including Matt Stoessel (Lake City), JoJo Glidewell (Modern Skirts), Eunice Kang (Azure Ray) and Carlton Owens (ex John Mayer), have all been a part of the recording process and/or live productions.  When Garrett takes risks, like on the sleepy, psych-ballad “Everything’s Blue,” listeners are rewarded.
