Retro Chicken

I don’t understand why these guys never got as huge as the classic bands from yesteryear. When they first hit (in the early 90’s) they were from the first wave of bands coming after the long dearth of 80’s-goof-ball synth-pop. First came the hair-bands (Poison, Motley Crew, Ratt, etc) and then the rockers (Guns N’ Roses), followed by Seattle and everything loud and masculine. The Black Crowes were a breath of fresh air – drawing on blues based music ala the Stones, Zeppelin, and the rest – they had great songs and could play well too.

Songs like “Remedy” still get airplay on the classic rock stations – I guess I am not the only Black Crowes’ fan left.
