An Examination of the Black Crowes

In which The Curmudgeons marvel at the pure rock 'n' roll glory of what we think is an underappreciated band, The Black Crowes. The band blended the influence of the Rolling Stones, Faces, Humble Pie and dollops of Southern Rock into a blast of audio dynamite that exploded in...1990, when MC Hammer, Vanilla Ice and Paula Abdul otherwise ruled the universe. It was a neat feat, one we explore intensively. The Black Crowes were a testament to a truism that drives our podcast: that awesome rock 'n' roll is unassailable.    Check out a book we reference during the episode, drummer Steve Gorman's memoirs, "Hard to Handle": https://www.thriftbooks.com/w/hard-to-handle-the-inside-story-of-the-black-crowes_steve-gorman/20161323/#edition=27570170&idiq=38535580   Here's a handy navigation companion for our episode.   (0:54 - 5:34) - Arturo sets the episode's parameters   (7:18 - 17:41) - The Parallel Universe, featuring reviews of new albums by Lorelle Meets The Obsolete and King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard   (18:40 - 35:55) - We discuss the Black Crowes' origin story and their masterful first two albums, Shake Your Money Maker and The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion   (38:10 - 1:16:25) - We cover the rest of the Black Crowes' story, from 1994's Amorica to 2009's Before the Frost...Until the Freeze and beyond   Join our Curmudgeonly Community today! facebook.com/groups/curmudgeonrock   Hosted on Podbean! curmudgeonrock.podbean.com   Subscribe to our show on these platforms: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-curmudgeon-rock-report/id1551808911   https://open.spotify.com/show/4q7bHKIROH98o0vJbXLamB?si=5ffbdc04d6d44ecb   https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3IuZm0vcy80M
