About this episode

The episode discusses the enduring legacy and new album of The Black Crowes, exploring their impact on rock music.

They’ve been fired from tours for speaking their mind, they’ve broken up more times than a high school couple, and yet, they remain as the band that still carries the flag for 70s-inspired blues-rock. Stones-rock. Faces-rock. And they have stayed around long enough to inspire new bands to keep doing the old rock thing. Their sound blasts back to 1972. The Black Crowes’ debut album was a crunch of rock and roll goodness, just as the hair pop metal was winding down and just before grunge blew what we knew as rock and roll up. They have a 2026 album that is the second project produced by country-rock knob-twister Jay Joyce. We dive into the new - and the old - and see if we think the Crowes matter.
