The Black Crowes are a blues-oriented hard rock jam band who have sold over 20 million albums and were hailed by Melody Maker as "The Most Rock 'n' Roll Rock 'n' Roll Band in the World".
The Crowes released their first studio album, “Shake Your Money Maker”, in 1990. On the strength of singles "Hard to Handle," "She Talks to Angels," "Jealous Again," "Twice as Hard," "Sister Luck," and "Seeing Things," their debut album received multi-platinum certification and eventually sold over three million copies. The band's cover of Otis Redding's "Hard to Handle" and their acoustic ballad "She Talks to Angels" both broke the Top 30 on the pop charts in 1991.
In 2001, the band put out their sixth studio effort, Lions, now on the V2 record label as dismal sales of their 5th album, “By Your Side” resulted in the band being dropped from Columbia. The new album included the singles "Lickin'" and "Soul Singing."
A live album entitled "Live at the Roxy," culled from the 2006 Brothers of a Feather performances’ (featuring Chris and Rich Robinson performing mostly acoustic sets) was released on July 10, 2007 via the Eagle Rock Entertainment label. The album featured performances of old and new Black Crowes material mixed with covers, taken from a three-night run at The Roxy in Los Angeles in early 2006.
The band also announced that it was kicking off a worldwide tour in support of the record starting March 24, 2008, in Australia.
