History
The Black Crowes formed in 1984 in Atlanta, Georgia, when teenage brothers Chris Robinson (vocals) and Rich Robinson (guitar) started a band at Walton High School, originally called Mr. Crowe's Garden. Their sound blends Southern rock, blues rock, and hard rock, drawing heavily on the swagger of the Rolling Stones and the Faces. The 1990 debut album Shake Your Money Maker made them stars: it hit No. 4 on the Billboard 200, and both a cover of Otis Redding's "Hard to Handle" and the original "She Talks to Angels" (its riff written by a 17-year-old Rich Robinson) topped the Mainstream Rock chart. The 1992 follow-up, The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion, went to No. 1. The band has cycled through many members over the decades, but Chris and Rich Robinson remain the constant core. A notable episode: in 1991 ZZ Top fired the Crowes from a Miller Beer-sponsored tour after Chris Robinson publicly criticized corporate sponsorship of concerts. In 1999-2000 they toured and recorded with former Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page, released as the live album Live at the Greek.
