Black Crowes Expand Tour, Reveal Lineup

As expected, the Black Crowes reunion has grown into a full-blown tour, and the band has finally unveiled details of the musicians who will back founding sibling duo Chris and Rich Robinson at the band's first gigs since October 2001.

Guitarist Marc Ford is back in the fold for the first time since 1997, while Bill Dobrow, who played with Rich Robinson in the short-lived band Hookah Brown, will take over for Steve Gorman on drums.

Bassist Sven Pipien returns for the first time since his less-than-amicable departure in 2000, while longtime keyboardist Eddie Hawyrsch will round out the group.

Beyond the Crowes' previously announced seven-show run at New York's Hammerstein Ballroom later this month, plus appearances at Bonnaroo and the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, more than 20 new dates have been confirmed through mid-June.

Great news! I hope that they'll make a kick-ass album, too!

[Ignatius]

Cool! 

I Love the black Crowes. They released two of the best records from the 90's.

Hopefully they will be adding some european dates soon there as well...

The Southern Harmony And Musical Companion AND Amorica are my favourites.

Amorica is an amazing record, but if I was you I'd first get my hands on Shake your money maker and The Southern Company and musical companion. Once The Crowes sound has grown into you, get Amorica then.

From Shake your money maker, check out the songs: Twice as hard, Sister Luck, Could I've been so blind, She Talks to angels ( beautiful acoustic)...damn this album is so good.

From The Southern... Remedy, Sting me, Sometimes Salvation ( IMO the best Black Crowes song tied with Wiser Time from the " Amorica") Bad Luck Blue Eyes ( Amazing finale)


Fun fact for you Izzy...guess who they toured with in America about 3 or 4 years ago? Oasis. That must've been a hell of a tour. Noel is a hard core fun of the Crowes.

[BP]

yea its a crime how bands get forced to pair up.      

[Axls Locomotive]

great band, have only heard shake your money maker right through, real rock and roll, worth the price of an album for sure...

I would start off with shake your money maker then pick up amorica I don't think you'll be disappointed. great fucking band.

[Smoking Guns]

For a while, GNR and Black Crowes were the only Rock and Roll bands around outside of grunge.  Silvertide's first album is a heavy Shake your Money Maker.  In other news, Brother Cane is getting back together for atleast one show in B'ham.  Maybe they will do a tour as well.  They are awesome!

[Chief]

i'd agree that Southern Harmony and Amorica are their best cds but i'd pick up Shaky your Money maker first if you're a new fan.

also if anyone's interested i have a pretty good Black Crowes website here:

I picked up 1990-1999 A tribute to a work in progress....so good. I am going to pick up Amorica today.


This is pure rock n' roll. No frills, no synths, no stadium tours, its bar room rock n roll...like a shot of Jack Daniels and a hard drag on a Malboro Red.

May 29: Montgomery, Ala. (Jubilee)
