If you’re a Melody Maker reader then you might know these guys as ‘The Most Rock & Roll Rock & Roll Band In The World’. It’s a pretty difficult name to live up to but The Black Crowes do it with ease. In 1990 the band released their first record, ‘Shake Your Melody Maker’, taking influence from groups such as The Faces, Rolling Stones and Humble Pie. The album was a huge success for them, selling over 3 million copies and going multi-platinum. Since their debut The Black Crowes have released a further 8 studio albums often to critical acclaim and have cemented their reputation as modern rock greats. In 2010 The band announced the release of a double album titled ‘Croweology’. The acoustic 2 disk set features new arrangements of some of their most famous tracks and the bands own favourites from over the years. Despite having just released a hugely popular album the group also announced their plans to go on an indefinite hiatus. Before this though, and they really will be their last shows for a while, The Black Crowes will be rounding off their tour in Europe with dates in Manchester and London.
The Black Crowes have a unique ability to blend the soulful elements of classic blues/hard rock from the 60s and 70s with a bit of modern influences. It shouldn’t be a surprise that, although they are considered one of the State’s most underrated bands, they never fail to draw in huge crowds at all their concerts. With the band’s driving force of brothers Chris and Rich Robinson The Black Crowes have developed a live show that is more like a musical journey through a whole host of different styles. They do their job so well that in the time they’ve played together they have toured alongside Jimmy Page, Tom Petty, Grateful Dead and Aerosmith. With The Black Crowes tickets now on sale for the Manchester and London dates British music fans have a unique last opportunity to see a band that rock fans worldwide are really going to miss.
One thing is clear - The Black Crowes tickets are not going to be a regular treat for British fans. With one last tour before they take a break these shows really are going to be something to remember. Tickets are going to be hugely popular but we’ve done the hard work and searched the internet for the best tickets still available. Who knows if we’ll get the chance to see these guys again?
