"Amorica" is the third album by The Black Crowes. It was released in late 1994 on American Recordings and re-issued in the USA and UK in 1998, with two added bonus tracks. The album cover's depiction of pubic hair, from a 1976 United States Bicentennial issue of "Hustler" magazine, caused controversy. The record company ended up putting out an alternative cover that blacked out the offending image.
