Recorded / Performed : May 2008 (Canal+ - France)
At the time of their 1990 debut, the kind of rock & roll
the Black Crowes specialize in was out of style. Only Guns
N' Roses came close to approximating a vintage Stones-
style raunch, but they were too angry and jagged to pull
it off completely. The Black Crowes replicated that
Stonesy swagger and Faces boogie perfectly. Vocalist Chris
Robinson appropriated the sound and style of vintage Rod
Stewart while guitarist Rich Robinson fused Keith
Richards' lean attack with Ron Wood's messy rhythmic
sense. At their best, the Black Crowes echo classic rock
without slavishly imitating their influences.
The Robinson brothers originally formed the Black Crowes
in Georgia in 1984. By the time of their 1990 debut, Shake
Your Money Maker, the group comprised Chris Robinson
(vocals), Rich Robinson (guitar), Johnny Colt (bass), Jeff
Cease (guitar), and Steve Gorman (drums). "Jealous Again,"
the first single from Shake Your Money Maker, was a
moderate hit but it was the band's cover of Otis Redding's
"Hard to Handle" that made the group a multi-platinum
success. "Hard to Handle" climbed its way into the Top 40,
propelling the album into the Top Ten. The acoustic ballad
"She Talks to Angels" became the band's second Top 40 hit
in the spring of 1991. Shake Your Money Maker would
eventually sell over three million copies.
The Black Crowes delivered their second album, The
Southern Harmony and Musical Companion, in the spring of
1992. It entered the charts at number one, but it didn't
have as many hit singles as the debut; none of the singles
cracked the Top 40 and only "Remedy" and "Thorn in My
Pride" made the Top 100. Nevertheless, the band
established itself as a popular concert attraction that
summer, selling out theaters across America. During 1992,
the band added keyboardist Eddie Harsch as a permanent
member. The Black Crowes' third album, Amorica, arrived in
late 1994. Amorica debuted in the Top Ten, but none of the
singles from the album made the charts; even though the
record went gold, it slipped off the charts in early 1995.
Three Snakes and One Charm, the group's fourth album, was
released in July 1996. The album entered the charts at
number 15, but it quickly slipped out of the Top 50.
Nevertheless, the album received the best reviews of any
Crowes album since The Southern Harmony and Musical
Companion. Guitarist Marc Ford was fired from the Black
Crowes in August 1997; two years later, the group returned
with By Your Side. In mid-2000, the band collaborated with
Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page on the double-disc Live
at the Greek, an eclectic mix of newly recorded Zeppelin
covers and additional classic blues cuts. Greatest Hits
1990-1999: A Tribute to a Work in Progress, a 16-track
best-of compilation, was also released in mid-2000.
The Don Was-produced Lions appeared in spring 2001, and a
summer tour with Oasis -- the Tour of Brotherly Love --
followed in June. But all was apparently not well with the
group, and in January 2002, the band announced that it was
on hiatus. Drummer Steve Gorman was fired, and Chris
Robinson announced his intentions for a solo career. In
2005, however, the Black Crowes reunited for a show at San
Francisco's Fillmore, a concert that was released in both
CD and DVD form in 2006 as Freak 'N' Roll... Into the Fog.
That same year also saw the release of The Lost Crowes,
which contained two previously unreleased albums, 1993's
Tall (parts of which were seen in Amorica and other
places) and the 1997 never-before-heard Band. Following a
series of lineup changes, the retooled band then hit the
road for a proper tour before setting to work on their
first studio effort in seven years. Joined by newcomer
Luther Dickinson, guitarist and co-founder of the North
Mississippi Allstars, the Black Crowes combined the rootsy
appeal of their early work with a newfound political
awareness on 2008's Warpaint.
