      Yeah, I agree. I was wishing they would play that one instead of Money Maker. I put it up there with Sticky Fingers and every other great rock and roll record. It's just an amazing run of songs on that album - and the guitars are so devastating. I have the CD in my car, and I've been listening to it ever since it came out when I was 13 - all the time. Great driving record.

Not that I'm scared of the impending future But that i would much rather regress to something old and familiar. So, I've invited my past back to the present and suddenly I'm doing things my inner teenager would do in times likes these. It's Awesome. Not conforming to anything or for anyone except Myself. Embrace the inner kid or teenager in you.. Invite them in. :)

There are far less worthy groups in the Rock HOF but The Black Crowes have been eligible for 5 years and not in. I mean really give me a break...ABBA, Blondie, Chicago, Depeche Mode, The Everly Brothers, Frank Zappa, Green Day, Janet Jackson...the list goes on and on. These artists are HOF worthy and the Crowes aren't? That shows the lack of respect, and a lack of musical knowledge.

    When I was a kid in the early to mid 90’s I loved this band even though I didn’t really follow bands. I just knew when their songs were on the radio I really enjoyed them. I still remember summer evenings, driving home from baseball games listening to “Talks to Angels” or being at the public pool hearing “Hard to Handle” over the loud speakers. It was only a few years ago when I really sat back and listened to all of their albums, and I’ve been steadily listening to them ever since.

    The Black Crowes are the first band I ever really listened to. I'm lucky enough to have a dad who was willing to take me to their show in Pozo, California when I was fourteen. I consider it the first live show I ever went to because it was the first show I went to that I wanted to go to, and the first band that I checked and rechecked the tour dates for to see how close they were going to get to my town. When I saw this video up I nearly cried...these gentleman feel like good friends to me and they don't even know me. They introduced me to the feeling that rock n' roll and the blues provide and I still look for that feeling in all of the music I listen to. I still put on The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion a couple times a year, and it's as groovy and soul-filled as ever.

    • @bluesmol73
      @bluesmol73 4 роки тому +1

      Nice story. So 25 years later you can check also this year when they play close to wherever you live if they can finally go on tour (maybe difficult because of coronavirus, who knows). I have followed them since the beginning, saw them a couple of times (in Spain, where I come from), and I feel a liitle bit sad because they couldn't maintain the band mambers, at least of the last time they were on tour (mostly Steve Gorman and Sven Pipien, the most faithful). I am curious about the new band anyway.
