The big three, SHMC, Amorica, Three Snakes, i can still play them on a loop and it never gets old. Had they not imploded towards the end of the 90’s, they would be in the same conversation as the Dead as far as their influence on the genre. Not that they didn’t continue to create great music after the nineties, however the reckless egotism and selfishness of the brothers Robinson drove all the goodness right into the ground, a daggone shame. They became a nostalgia act in all the wrong ways, but the legacy of Weird Ed and Ford and Gorman will live on on my summertime patio for years to come
I was SHOCKED to see Twice As Hard didn't even make it onto one of their 2 disc best of sets... it made one but not the other, I believe Croweology. That song is straight up Led Zeppelin, and I feel like of their songs it got top 5 radio play too. If it ain't #1b on my list tied with Remedy then it's a close second.
Try: “Thorn in My Pride” “Twice as Hard” Black Crows have always been super grooves and awesome. Excellent musicians with piano, guitar, back-up vocals - all with great Soul/Rock/Blues mix!
The sleeper on the album is My Morning Song... I said the music got to free your mind, just let it go, because you never know... And if the rhythm ever falls out of time, you can bring it to me and I will make it alright.
Huge grunge fan here. When the Black Crowes came out, it was like a breath of fresh air. Something different than what was constantly on the radio. Love this band
Agreed, I remember MTV playing their cover of "Hard To Handle" all the time along with the alternative stuff that was popular at the time and, though I love 90's grunge and alternative rock, I fell in love with these guys too. Just pure rock and roll.
I agree, I think also Blind Melon was very different, even though some people considered Blind Melon a grunge band actually they were more like a southern rock band, first album was very good and second album called Soup even better
I feel like that was part of Oasis' appeal as well, felt like they got huge right after Kurt died. Granted part of it was a throwback 60s invasion vibe for some I reckon, but they even admitted, one of em saw where Nirvana had a song called I Hate Myself And Want To Die and thought bloody hell... and there they were singing songs like Rock n Roll Star about walking on a sunny day, and their first big song being called Live Forever, quite the polar opposite that, heh.
we generally refuse to compare SHAMC, Amorica, and Three Snakes, because they are all brilliant in their own way and desert island discs in their own right.
I am a metal head at heart but I LOVE the Black Crowes. Started buying vinyl about 3 years ago and th Crows were some of the first records I bought. They have an EXTENSIVE catalog and a number of Live Acoustic albums that are just amazing. One of the most underrated bands of all time. They should be ten times bigger than they are.
@@fritzburbank935 i dont take offense. Thats your opinion and its ok lol but they are very popular. Many people like it including myself. I never said it was the best from them but they are good songs and I think they may enjoy it thats all
One of the greatest rock bands of the last 30 years. Chris has one of the most soulful voices in music. But where they really shine is live. Seriously, do yourselves a favor and listen to the live version of “Words You Throw Away” off the Shake Your Money Maker 30th Anniversary album. It’s 13 minutes of pure perfection. Love the channel guys!
Side note on that too, not only is it great writing and performances but the mix and mastering are really solid too. Lot of extra parts besides just guitars/bass/drums/vocals, got piano in there, got the ladies singing, got some bongos and stuff, lot of tracks. You can hear every person and every part clearly and individually but it still all sounds great together. Sounds good quiet, sounds good loud, sounds good played back on just about anything. Great production work.
These guys are the real deal. They did an entire album of Zeppelin covers and Jimmy Page played guitar. This is unheard of. Was fortunate to see these guys open for Heart, right after their first single dropped. Was even more fortunate to see them in a small.club setting, many years later. Rich the Ancient Metal Beast.
I saw them in a club that held 1,000 on the tour for this record. Also the Crowes & Page released a double cd called Live At The Greek. You can find copies of a dvd of one of their shows from Jones Beach NY on Ebay.
Born in Alabama, raised mostly in Texas...spent years in Mississippi and North Carolina. Southern blues-based rock is in my SOUL! Love ya'll's reaction!
This! Same here... old school Metalhead who was raised on 60s and 70s Hard Rock. The Black Crowes always spoke to me because even though their heyday was in the early 90s when I was getting into my 20s, they were so in the same vein of what I grew up listening to (Rolling Stones, Allman Bros, Led Zep, etc.) that they were instantly embraced. They are a great band regardless of what most think. They’re criminally under appreciated. 🤘🏼
Anything Black Crows is Awesome! She talks to Angels, Twice as Hard, Jealous Again, & Hard to Handle are my fav's. If you guys dive into this band again. Any of their songs would make for a great reaction video.😁
@@SophiaAphrodite this album and Amorica are a million miles better imo. To each their own I guess. I just hate that their biggest song (Hard to Handle) is a cover
Southern Harmony is my favorite album of the 90s, being a musician and a stoner this album was right up my dust filled and overgrown alley, GREAT PICK Guys!
I mean, you guys nailed it: sometimes you want high cuisine, the cutting-edge of fashion, and the latest special effects blockbuster film... and sometimes you just wanna eat biscuits & gravy in your sweatpants, rockin' the hell outta that well-formed ass-groove on your couch while you binge-watch reruns of OG Muppet Show. And ain't nothin' wrong with either.
Remedy is the Crowes best song and it’s on all my rock playlists. And Just to tell y’all, your reaction videos are the best on RUclips. You guys truly love music...You do your research on the artist and the lyrics. Too many other channels out there are trying are reacting to viewers just to make money and put no effort. Y’all are the truth on this platform. Thank You. Keep up the great work!!!
For an Old Head like me, Crowes are one of the all time greats. Saw them many times in their heyday. I have different playlists of their music depending on my mood or what I’m doing. Cant go wrong with them.
The wild thing about the Crowes is they dropped this at the height of all things metal and it was NOT metal. That revival was a huge deal and it's impact was massive.
Even though it does come close to Metal (to me), but of course it is really an amalgamation of everything they were all at once: Bluesy, Southern, Soulful AND (Twice As) Hard.
In those days, the cream rose to the top of the charts far more than it does now, irrespective of genre popularity or commercial marketing. I mean, Pantera's heavier follow up to their best album debuted at number 1!!!
The Crowes are one of my all time favorite bands. This album is amazing from start to finish and in my opinion, one of the best albums ever recorded. So much soul and angst and joy and love and ALL THE FEELS! The band lineup at this time was EPIC with everyone at the best. Sigh. I miss them.
Just a little Rock trivia for you..Chris Robinson was married to Kate Hudson who is Goldie Hawn's daughter. The Black Crowes were huge in the late 80's & 90's.
The entire Black Crowes first album "Shake Your Money Maker" just kills. Every song. They are going to be playing it in it's entirety once touring starts back up.
Hey Ryan, I rocked out to The Black Crowes back in the mid 90's when I was in middle school. They always played them on Alternative Rock radio stations, back in the day, with all the other bands classified as "Grunge".
The first two albums, Shake Your Moneymaker & Southern Harmony and Musical Companion are solid gold material. Thorn In My Pride, She Talks To Angels, Seeing Things, Jealous Again, Bad Luck Blue Eyes (Goodbye)...you need to hear them. I stumbled on these guys by accident when I went to see Robert Plant on his Manic Nirvana tour and they were brand new, opening for him. They rocked the arena and I liked them instantly. Saw them two more times after that.
Cursed Diamond is the most beautiful soul touching song about someone who is struggling and flawed but is a beautiful, remarkable human being. I know many people who that song was written for.
My mom was 19/20 working as a waitress for Steak N Shake back in the day, The Black Crowes had a show across the street and stopped in. My mom was their waitress, they ended up giving her and a friend some tickets to the show. The band has some really good classic hits. Talks to angels is probably one of the top songs alot of ppl know from them
I own every album and every one is listened to from beginning to end and 9 live shows over the yrs. They are part of my soundtrack for my life. Led Zeppelin The Black Crowes T00L ...none of them have a bad song.
"Cursed Diamond," "Sometimes Salvation," "Thorn in My Pride," "Wiser Time," "Soul Singing" are all phenomenal tunes for me. The live versions are almost always more intense and expansive.
Someone help me. Just checked a video on YT for this song and same problem. I KNOW when I heard this years ago there's a part in a chorus where he sings the word remedy several times in a row "I want a remedy remedy remedy remedy remedy" (not sure how many times but a several) and I cannot find a version with that (the only one I thought existed) WTF??
The sisters send this piece way over the top!! Brilliant use of back up vocals.....the ladies blend in nice and smooth as they take right over. Nothing lacking anywhere throughout this number. Totally sticks in your head for hours!! Great reaction!
Remedy is on my list of songs that I will never get tired of. There's a documentary called "20 Feet from Stardom" that tells the story of the gospel-based backup singing groups that added so much texture to the songs of the 60's and 70's (Gimmie Shelter is a good example). Remedy is another great example of what these women could add to a song.
The Black Crowes are a staple of southern rock. Glad you guys made your way to them. “She Talks to angels”, “Twice as Hard, “Thorn in my Pride”, “Jealous again”. There are others but those are must listens.
I subbed to you guys for your metal reactions but I would 100% listen to this outside of the channel haha. I actually recognize the chorus of this song but somehow never heard of The Black Crowes before so now I can bump it in my free time instead of just hearing it in passing.
"Seeing Things" is a bit of a deep cut, but it's A GREAT song. Really, everything off of the 1991 "Shake Your Money Maker" album is great. It's one of those albums without a bad song. Every one a banger.
That one is, in our humble opinion, the hardest one in the whole catalog to sing. Did you know that it's the legendary Chuck Leavell playing organ on that record? #staytall
@@amoricans such a great track. It's one of my top 10 all time songs, any band, any genre. It's also amazing everything Chuck Leavell has played on. He's a legend!
rocking this. every time. their debut, shake your money maker was a straight banger when it came out. and they continued and evolved with this album. thorn in my pride is my jam.
This song is good, but phenominal live! Chris Robinson and company put on a GREAT show. You'd recognize Hard To Handle, their biggest hit, but She Talks To Angels is the one. Twice As Hard, Conspiracy, Wiser Time all worth checking out.
I was so stoked to see this pop up in my feed because I've been waiting for you guys to react to this. This band belongs in the Rock and roll Hall of Fame as far as I'm concerned . I regularly watch hour long concert footage because they're one of the few bands that actually sounds better live. I've been a pretty hardcore fan since I was in Middle School LOL.
This whole album is full of bangers. Seen em live 3 times dude can belt his voice. They give me a church choir vibe st a place that's having a damn good time.
Not only do I regularly listen to this song but the entire album. Great band and this album doesn't have a bad song on it. The band has had highs and lows but this is one of their peaks because of how good this record is.
Glad you enjoyed the song, and this album is good, but check out their debut album, "Shake Your Money Maker" which includes hits I am sure you have heard previously, but didn't know it was the Black Crowes...Hard To Handle, She Talks to Angels, Twice as Hard, Jealous Again. This was more straight forward rock and not quite as much southern/bluesy as The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion. I actually think "Thorn In My Pride" is better than Remedy. Check it out...
I was working in the business when the Crowes were just signed... loved them then and listening with you guys now ... there sound still holds up... classic.
I loved your guys reaction to this song! Very soulful, very bluesy. They remind me of the Southern Rock bands I grew up with and am still rocking out to them.
I used to play drums in a Black Crowes tribute band, which is kind of meta since they themselves are almost like a tribute band for 70's southern-blues-rock in general lol
Everything they've ever done is great. The 2nd, 3rd, and 4th albums are pretty much flawless. If you wanna know where their sound comes from check out The Faces and Humble Pie.
I like the Black Crows and this song! Speaking of that, do you guys ever react to blues or blues rock at all? I would LOVE to have you check out The Black Keys. They are a blues rock band made up of two brothers, one on drums and the other on guitar/vocals. They are f'ing awesome man, very soulful and those cats can rock out! Try "Keep Me" or "Brooklyn Bound".
I suggested this awhile back and am glad to see you guys got to it. I knew you would love it. I had a friend back in the day who listened to only rap but loved this song when he heard it and said a lot of the same things you guys are especially as it relates to the soul. And yeah this is on my favorites playlist and one of the songs I will never turn off or skip over. You guys made me smile today with this video!!
They recorded the majority of this album over a wild four day weekend filled with drugs, fighting, strippers and a shitload of great music. This is a press play and let it stay album.
I have gone back AGAIN AND AGAIN to the Black Crows! They are absolutely a great bluesy rock band 🎸 with great vocals... and, yes, I’m also a huge 70s rock fan. That is the music I’m drawn to as I get older! Lol 🤟🏼🎶🎸
You guys are almost always on point with music references, and I sometimes have to go back to other songs and sounds you call back on and listen, and then that light goes on like "Damn, how did I not hear that before"... Keep this good shit going fellas!!!
The Southern Harmony And Musical Companion: one of the greatest albums of the 90s
Dare we correct you? The Southern Harmony And Musical Companion: one of the greatest albums of all time
Ahhhhhhhhhh........ No way.
The big three, SHMC, Amorica, Three Snakes, i can still play them on a loop and it never gets old. Had they not imploded towards the end of the 90’s, they would be in the same conversation as the Dead as far as their influence on the genre. Not that they didn’t continue to create great music after the nineties, however the reckless egotism and selfishness of the brothers Robinson drove all the goodness right into the ground, a daggone shame. They became a nostalgia act in all the wrong ways, but the legacy of Weird Ed and Ford and Gorman will live on on my summertime patio for years to come
I like that someone say that. Love the album from first to the last note.
Easily up there with some of the best albums ever created. Lightening in a bottle for sure.
Chris Robinson’s voice is just so dirty. I mean like it sounds like it has actual dirt in it. Southern, bluesy sticky dirt. 🔥❤️🎶
Twice As Hard and Jealous Again are badass songs from them.
I was SHOCKED to see Twice As Hard didn't even make it onto one of their 2 disc best of sets... it made one but not the other, I believe Croweology. That song is straight up Led Zeppelin, and I feel like of their songs it got top 5 radio play too. If it ain't #1b on my list tied with Remedy then it's a close second.
Listen to Keith Richards "Take It So Hard".
Jealous Again seems the second part of that song!!
Twice as hard is one of the greatest album openers of all time.
The whole Shake Your Money Maker record is all killer..........no filler.
Try:
“Thorn in My Pride”
“Twice as Hard”
Black Crows have always been super grooves and awesome. Excellent musicians with piano, guitar, back-up vocals - all with great Soul/Rock/Blues mix!
I second "Twice as Hard"
Thorn In My Pride has a gospel feel to it. Excellent song!
Preach, Stephen! "Thorn" just never, ever seems to get old, whether we are listening to it or playing it live ruclips.net/video/Q7ZtRWb5cyk/видео.html
Definitely
Thorn is my shit. I can put it on repeat.
This whole album is fantastic.
They're all great songs on that album 👍 a rare feat for any artist
The sleeper on the album is My Morning Song... I said the music got to free your mind, just let it go, because you never know... And if the rhythm ever falls out of time, you can bring it to me and I will make it alright.
Yep!
This album is in my top 10 of favorites.
@@jiminut Amen!! that song takes you to church ruclips.net/video/OpjH4mMIjKA/видео.html. #staytall
For those of us who grew up with classic blues rock these guys felt like home to us too
Huge grunge fan here. When the Black Crowes came out, it was like a breath of fresh air. Something different than what was constantly on the radio. Love this band

Agreed!
They were an especially refreshing breath of fresh air coming on the heels of the by-then way overdone Glam-Metal thing.
I agree, I think also Blind Melon was very different, even though some people considered Blind Melon a grunge band actually they were more like a southern rock band, first album was very good and second album called Soup even better
I feel like that was part of Oasis' appeal as well, felt like they got huge right after Kurt died.

"Sometimes Salvation" and "My Morning Song" knocked Nirvana off their perch in our dorm stereos in '92. These guys straight up ruled.
Well said, sir! ruclips.net/video/OpjH4mMIjKA/видео.html #staytall
Sometimes Salvation is their most underrated song.
The whole discography of the Black Crowes is incredible. Anything off of the Amorica album is gold.
Came here to say this! I didn’t really listen to them much before that album.
Wiser time
Amorica is all killer & no filler.
Southern Harmony is still better than Amorica. My favorite album of all time, but Amorica is fire too!
we generally refuse to compare SHAMC, Amorica, and Three Snakes, because they are all brilliant in their own way and desert island discs in their own right.

YES! Well said bro!
They collab they did with Jimmy Paige was awesome too. They were the band with Paige playing Zepplin tunes.
She Talks to Angels and Hard to Handle are great from these guys.
No offense, but "Hard to Handle" is an Otis Redding cover. BC version is not different at all.
Josh
No offense but the tunes you reccomend stink.
Back in 1990 it was Top 40 shit and we all knew it.
@@jamesc5535 yeah i am aware it is a cover lol original is really good too. I actually did not know it was a cover for a long time too 🤣
@@fritzburbank935 i dont take offense. Thats your opinion and its ok lol but they are very popular. Many people like it including myself. I never said it was the best from them but they are good songs and I think they may enjoy it thats all
"Jealous Again" is an absolute banger. "She Talks To Angels" has great lyrics and dynamics.
Black Crows are underrated as hell... Put this album on when you and your lady get ready for bed... You might not wake up for work on time.
They sure are! I think it was all about timing.
One of the greatest rock bands of the last 30 years. Chris has one of the most soulful voices in music. But where they really shine is live.

This album and Amorica are just friggin great.
@Syx No worries. Not a big deal either way. I appreciate you letting me know. Go put The Crowes on and have a great weekend!
Ahhh, my college years! This album features the best 3-songs-in-a-row: Black Moon Creeping, No Speak No Slave, and My Morning Song.
These guys are the real deal. They did an entire album of Zeppelin covers and Jimmy Page played guitar. This is unheard of.
Was fortunate to see these guys open for Heart, right after their first single dropped. Was even more fortunate to see them in a small.club setting, many years later.
Rich the Ancient Metal Beast.
Find the bootleg of that of you can. They did a bunch of Crowes tunes and other covers too.
I confess I envy.
I saw them in a club that held 1,000 on the tour for this record. Also the Crowes & Page released a double cd called Live At The Greek. You can find copies of a dvd of one of their shows from Jones Beach NY on Ebay.
Soulful, bluesy, Southern rock. That's it. I saw them a couple of times in a small venue back in the day. Still ranks among my favorites.
One of the best pure rock'n roll bands of the last 30 years.
Been a while since I've listened to some Crowes and man, they're just everything that is good about rock 'n roll.
totally agree
“High Head Blues” is one of the most fantastic grooves you will ever hear.
Black Crowes yes! Try "Thorn in My Pride", "She Talks To Angels", "Sting Me", "Wiser Time". Pretty much everything!
Born in Alabama, raised mostly in Texas...spent years in Mississippi and North Carolina. Southern blues-based rock is in my SOUL! Love ya'll's reaction!

You should listen to another album than Shake Your Money Maker, brother!
Twice as Hard is probably the best song on that album imho.

Yes indeed!
My favorite song of theirs. That's on the desert island mixtape for sure.
Most underrated song in their catalog.

"Hard to Handle" - The Black Crowes. It's an Otis Redding re-make but it's good.
Great Otis song but they really made it their own
they Grateful Dead version is superior. either from april '71 or the one from hollywood palladium

RIP Eddie Harsch. An absolute maestro
Love them. Everyone talks about their big hits, but no one talks about those rough gems, like "A Conspiracy" and "Cursed Diamond"...
Paul knows what's up!!
Cursed Diamond is the most beautiful soul touching song about someone who is struggling and flawed but is a beautiful, remarkable human being. I know many people who that song was written for.
@@pacificblu9662 beautifully stated, sir! Drop by our channel and tell us what you think? You are clearly a real-deal fan :-)
"I hate myself. Doesn't everybody hate themselves?" The perfect line in a song lyric.

Talks to angels is probably one of the top songs alot of ppl know from them
The black crowes and candlebox are two bands that I feel were great that never really got the recognition
"Seeing things for the first time" and "Sister Luck" top notch!

I'm a big Black Crowes fan. I've seen them numerous times live.
Easily one of my favorite live shows, they bring it like few do
Have rocked with the crowes for 30 years! Love em! Seen em 27 times! Best live shows ive ever seen
One of the best shows I've ever seen was Black Crowes opening for Tom Petty. Man alive, that was awesome.
I saw that tour. One of the best concerts I've ever seen.
Found the Canadian.
@@krisdaschwab912 You are definitely mistaken.
The Crowes were the very best live band of their generation. Never a duplicated show, a different set every night, and at their peak, untouchable.
Their live versions of this song ROCK so much more, lots of energy.
Yes it is !
"Hard to Handle" is another wickid one from them!
It’s a great cover. I agree!
An Otis Redding cover!
Someone help me. Just checked a video on YT for this song and same problem.

They've got some great songs. Jealous again, Hard to handle, she talks to angels.
Remedy is on my list of songs that I will never get tired of. There's a documentary called "20 Feet from Stardom" that tells the story of the gospel-based backup singing groups that added so much texture to the songs of the 60's and 70's (Gimmie Shelter is a good example). Remedy is another great example of what these women could add to a song.
The Black Crowes are a staple of southern rock. Glad you guys made your way to them. “She Talks to angels”, “Twice as Hard, “Thorn in my Pride”, “Jealous again”. There are others but those are must listens.
This is my favorite band hands down. Seen them live multiple times. So much soul in their sound. check out bad luck blue eyes goodbye
You guys should check out their tune “Gone”. On Amorica, they were at their rawest and Chris gives some of his best vocal performances.
One of my motivation songs
Amorica is a great album!
I love that album man. (Well, that band but... that album particularly). 'P.25 London' and 'Wiser time' after 'Gone' are the stand out tracks for me.
Such an underrated album. Bringing in the Santana vibe with the funky percussion.
Finally a good recommendation
If you dig his soul and voice, Sometimes Salvation shows off his pipes quite well
Seeing Things for the First Time, She Talks to Angels are my favs....
One of my FAV Black Crowes' jams. These dudes have always had swag. Thanks for reacting!
I subbed to you guys for your metal reactions but I would 100% listen to this outside of the channel haha. I actually recognize the chorus of this song but somehow never heard of The Black Crowes before so now I can bump it in my free time instead of just hearing it in passing.
Love the comment “southern cookin’” So on point. HUGE fan of these guys when I was a teen. Soul food fed through the ear.
"Seeing Things" is a bit of a deep cut, but it's A GREAT song. Really, everything off of the 1991 "Shake Your Money Maker" album is great. It's one of those albums without a bad song. Every one a banger.
That one is, in our humble opinion, the hardest one in the whole catalog to sing. Did you know that it's the legendary Chuck Leavell playing organ on that record? #staytall
@@amoricans such a great track. It's one of my top 10 all time songs, any band, any genre. It's also amazing everything Chuck Leavell has played on. He's a legend!
The power and emotion in his vocals on this song is unmatched.
rocking this. every time. their debut, shake your money maker was a straight banger when it came out. and they continued and evolved with this album.
thorn in my pride is my jam.
This song is good, but phenominal live! Chris Robinson and company put on a GREAT show. You'd recognize Hard To Handle, their biggest hit, but She Talks To Angels is the one. Twice As Hard, Conspiracy, Wiser Time all worth checking out.
Strongly 2nd those suggestions
@@markclark6702 I'm gonna triple down on all those suggestions!
Yes to those and add Sister Luck, Sting Me, My Morning Song, Gone and Midnight From The Inside Out
Saw them in ‘92 at the Greek Theater and they played this for the encore with a light rain. Unforgettable
Chris lights up the stage, his energy is palpable.
This whole album is fire. The Crowes at their best IMO. "Sometimes Salvation" off this album is one of my favorite songs of all time.
Check out Jealous Again and their take on Hard to Handle. So funky.
Two great ones!
What I love about your channel is your openness to trying out something new. Now I listen to things I wouldn't usually listen to.
More power!
Off the same album......try “Sometimes Salvation”.........it’s a perfect follow-up to this great track.......
I was so stoked to see this pop up in my feed because I've been waiting for you guys to react to this. This band belongs in the Rock and roll Hall of Fame as far as I'm concerned . I regularly watch hour long concert footage because they're one of the few bands that actually sounds better live. I've been a pretty hardcore fan since I was in Middle School LOL.
Love, love, love The Black Crowes. Agree with some other posters...”She Talks to Angels” is a real stand-out from these guys.
This album is amazing. There’s also a lot of great stuff on amorica. I’d recommend “A Conspiracy,” or “Wiser Time.”
I was obsessed with this album when it came out, so good to hear it again! And glad you two enjoyed it.
This whole album is full of bangers. Seen em live 3 times dude can belt his voice. They give me a church choir vibe st a place that's having a damn good time.
Not only do I regularly listen to this song but the entire album. Great band and this album doesn't have a bad song on it. The band has had highs and lows but this is one of their peaks because of how good this record is.
1st Time Here!💋.....You Guys Are Pure Pleasure To Watch 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉💋
Glad you enjoyed the song, and this album is good, but check out their debut album, "Shake Your Money Maker" which includes hits I am sure you have heard previously, but didn't know it was the Black Crowes...Hard To Handle, She Talks to Angels, Twice as Hard, Jealous Again. This was more straight forward rock and not quite as much southern/bluesy as The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion. I actually think "Thorn In My Pride" is better than Remedy. Check it out...
Do you like "Sometimes Salvation" by them?
I was working in the business when the Crowes were just signed... loved them then and listening with you guys now ... there sound still holds up... classic.
I get oddly nervous when you do songs and bands I like.
Me too. But I knew they would dig this. It’s almost impossible not to
absolutely same!!!
I loved your guys reaction to this song! Very soulful, very bluesy. They remind me of the Southern Rock bands I grew up with and am still rocking out to them.
Thorn In My Pride is another beauty from Black Crowes
You guys had a smile on your face the WHOLE time... love it. Black Crowes are/were 🔥
I used to play drums in a Black Crowes tribute band, which is kind of meta since they themselves are almost like a tribute band for 70's southern-blues-rock in general lol
Everything they've ever done is great. The 2nd, 3rd, and 4th albums are pretty much flawless. If you wanna know where their sound comes from check out The Faces and Humble Pie.
Seen them twice, both small venues and both times were unforgettable
I LOVE The Black Crowes!!!! Awesome band. Great songs, great singer, very talented musicians. I'd love to see yall do more.
Damn, I was hoping for "Twice As Hard."
That and Jealous Again are great songs
Bobbing my head with you, guys! Blues and soul are universal!
I like the Black Crows and this song! Speaking of that, do you guys ever react to blues or blues rock at all? I would LOVE to have you check out The Black Keys. They are a blues rock band made up of two brothers, one on drums and the other on guitar/vocals. They are f'ing awesome man, very soulful and those cats can rock out! Try "Keep Me" or "Brooklyn Bound".
I suggested this awhile back and am glad to see you guys got to it. I knew you would love it. I had a friend back in the day who listened to only rap but loved this song when he heard it and said a lot of the same things you guys are especially as it relates to the soul. And yeah this is on my favorites playlist and one of the songs I will never turn off or skip over. You guys made me smile today with this video!!
They recorded the majority of this album over a wild four day weekend filled with drugs, fighting, strippers and a shitload of great music. This is a press play and let it stay album.
I own several of their albums and they’re one of my favorite bands. Yes I “ROCK” this.
"Hotel Illness" is great by the Black Crowes.
I have gone back AGAIN AND AGAIN to the Black Crows! They are absolutely a great bluesy rock band 🎸 with great vocals... and, yes, I’m also a huge 70s rock fan. That is the music I’m drawn to as I get older! Lol 🤟🏼🎶🎸
She Talks to Angels. It's a different level. 🖤
You guys are almost always on point with music references, and I sometimes have to go back to other songs and sounds you call back on and listen, and then that light goes on like "Damn, how did I not hear that before"... Keep this good shit going fellas!!!
