The Black Crowes broke up after the Lions tour, and it seemed fairly unlikely that they'd be getting back together anytime soon. Yet just a few years later, the band was back again, and with most of the original group back in place! But after a couple of tours and an aborted attempt at an album, things started to fall apart a bit --- Marc Ford left, Eddie Harsch got fired, and suddenly the number of prime-era members was down to the Brothers Robinson and Steve Gorman. They did manage to add North Mississippi All-Stars guitarist (and rock scion) Luther Dickinson, but it was unclear what the destiny of the band was at this point.Which is what made the content of Warpaint somewhat surprising. The album laid out a set of songs that was both familiar and unfamiliar territory for the Crowes - heavily blues influenced, but with specks of influence of the Robinsons' respective solo careers, plus a more subtle and refined lead guitar sound. The songwriting wasn't quite up to the all-time highs of some of the band's 90s output, but it was also pretty far ahead of By Your Side in places. To some degree the album feels like another progression of the group's sound from Lions, but in many ways it feels like a very different group. Somewhat lost in the shuffle of the group's albums, this one deserves to be revisited.

Episode 22: The Southern Harmony & Musical Companion (by The Black Crowes). McCartney In Goal is the podcast that debates and dissects the great albums of popular rock music, using a competitive knock-out format. Today we’re discussing, The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion which is the second studio album by US rock band The Black Crowes, released on May 12, 1992 by Def American Records. It was the first album by the band to feature Marc Ford on lead guitar, replacing Jeff Cease, who was fired the year before, and the first to feature keyboardist Eddie Harsch.

Is this the Crowes' magnum opus? Quite possibly yes. The band was hot after two long tours on the success of Shake Your Money Maker, and back in the recording studio with fresh musical ideas, improved playing techniques, and most importantly, two new members of the band who would steer the ship in an new, more virtuosic direction. Marc Ford on lead guitar and Eddie Harsch on keyboards immediately wove themselves into the Crowes' 70s rock and roll stew, adding incredible textures and leads across a collection of songs that reaches for the same sort of soul-influenced canvas that bands like the Faces, Free, and the mid-period Stones and Allman Brothers painted. The results are stunning, and highlight all of the best aspects of the band.

This week, David & Ian pay tribute to Eddie Harsch, keyboardist for The Black Crowes from 1991-2006. Eddie sadly passed away in November of 2016 and this episode is a document of his legacy with the band and the true appreciation everyone had for him. Joining the show this week to share their personal experiences with Eddie are Jeff Dunn, Charity Coe, Matt Slocum and Monalisa Young, with archival messages and stories from Chris & Rich Robinson. Interspersed are some of the messages sent to the show by listeners, read by David & Ian, as well as the 2016 eulogy for Eddie from Steve Gorman. We hope this tribute is fitting for a man that meant so much to so many over the course of his life. Rest In Peace, Eddie Harsch.

Rock Talk With Mitch Lafon... and Alan Niven presents former Black Crowes drummer, Steve Gorman (recorded June 2020) Before we get to Steve, Alan Niven explains why he passed on the Black Crowes back in the day. Here's a hint, it had absolutely nothing to do with the band! We also discuss Guns N' Roses 1988 tour with Aerosmith as well as  David Lee Roth & AC/DC rescinding supporting slot offers.  Steve Gorman discusses his new book 'The Life And Death Of The Black Crowes - A Memoir', the summer return of hockey & baseball, David Coverdale, opening for Robert Plant at The Montreal Forum, Guns N' Roses, Alan Niven turning down the Black Crowes, hanging out with Robert Plant on tour, his new band Trigger Hippy, corporate sponsorship and creating a great PR moment, becoming more of a jam band, remembering Eddie Harsch, Jimmy Page and much more.  Quotes:  "We would listen to Guns N' Roses and we took a lot from... not their sound - we never wanted to be as hard as they were, but just their attitude."  "The Beatles made me love music, but R.E.M. made me play music."

From The Black Crowes to The Magpie Salute: The Art of Transcendence THE MAGPIE SALUTE is an exciting new band that features musicians who have played together for decades throughout various projects and share a musical bond. The band brings Rich Robinson, the guitarist and co-founding member of The Black Crowes, together with two key members of Crowes fame - guitarist Marc Ford and bassist Sven Pipien - alongside drummer Joe Magistro and guitarist Nico Bereciartua. The Magpie Salute also boasts a fine cast of vocalists, including lead singer John Hogg (Hookah Brown, Moke), former Crowes singer Charity White and background singers, Adrien Reju and Katrine Ottosen. Embraced by music fans as soon as show dates were announced in October 2016, the band instantly sold out its first performance scheduled for January 19, 2017 at the Gramercy Theatre in New York. Driven by popular demand, three more dates were scheduled, each of which sold out within minutes! Responding to fan interest, Rich notes, “it's been a better welcome than we could have hoped for. We are humbled by the outpouring of support. It feels powerful.” Marc Ford underscored Rich's comments, noting the fan's enthusiasm about The Magpie Salute. “The fans seems to be very excited. I'm just starting to see how much this music means to people”. Building on this excitement, The Magpie Salute, will look past these shows for a possibility of more touring. The Magpie Salute marks the reunion of the Robinson and Ford guitar team which ended back in 1997 when Ford left The Black Crowes. Reflecting on his past, Rich stated, “I feel Marc and I have a deep musical connection... As I get older, I realize what a gift it is to play with people with whom you share that language of music.” Reiterating Rich's point about musical rapport, Marc added, “it's one of those things that was there before we met. Musically, we were already family.” Asked about The Magpie Salute's artistic vision and musical approach, Rich stated, " I, and everyone involved, love playing music. Not only on our own, in The Crowes and in my band, but playing music in general. We want to make music again together with a fresh perspective. To present this music I wrote in a different light with these amazing players is going to be really special to me.” To create this new sound, Rich and his ensemble have called upon their collective influences, from R&B, country and spirituals, to artists such as Sly Stone, Neil Young, and The Small Faces - a vast musical landscape which, at its core, is pure Rock n Roll. “It's also deeper than that”, Rich goes on to say. “It's freedom, it's love, it's loss, it's pure joy. It's misery, it's simultaneously arrogance and vulnerability. It is life.” Rich explains how the band members' past experiences connect to the band's moniker, The Magpie Salute. The term references a British superstition about the imperative to salute a Magpie anytime you see one in order to ward off negativity, or to have a good day; it is like saying, I am unarmed or I come in peace. Rich says, “The magpie falls within the crow umbrella of species, figuratively and literally. Magpies can be black and white, which for me represents the dark and the light. "The way to salute a magpie, is to say Good Morning Captain. I felt this had too many coincidences to ignore. He adds, “This touches on many aspects of my life and experiences.” The band's genesis began in Woodstock, New York, at Applehead Studios where Rich had recorded his last three albums. Sven had been playing with him on his current tour and Rich thought it might be a bit of fun to invite Marc, as well as Eddie Harsch from the original Crowes lineup, to join. “It turned out to be a cool, cathartic and inspirational experience for all of us. We had a strong musical connection from that band”, said Rich. The fact that the former Crowes members had traveled the world together and shared a life's worth of family experiences drew the...

Cosmic America is back for the holiday week, as we discover an unexpected mutual love for the Black Crowes' sophomore effort, The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion. The Stones-influenced Black Crowes take a measured step into Free/Humble Pie/gospel tradition here, emerging with probably their finest and most consistent collection of songs. Underappreciated at the time of its release due to the sudden onslaught of grunge, we try to bring it back to the masses.Be sure to subscribe to Cosmic America on iTunes!

A new Cosmic America drops and everyone gets excited. Here's Galen and Alex talking about a seminal guitar album from the 70's — Television's Marquee Moon. Lots of talk about the sonic construction of the album, as well as where it sits in the developmental track of rock and roll (and punk..I guess…). If you like guitars, or abstract lyrics, or angular solos, this is definitely an album you should check out. 

Paul just got back from a trip to New Orleans. We talk about our love for the mighty Crescent City, seeing the elusive band TOOL in concert, and other acts he caught at Voodoo Festival. Eddie Harsch from The Black Crowes passed away suddenly this past weekend. RIP Eddie. You played on some of the most EPIC rock albums of the 90's.

Not sure if you heard, but the Chicago Cubs won the World Series. Lifelong Cubs fan Levi Leach shares his emotions during the roller coaster ride. We then remember Black Crowes keyboardist Eddie Harsch, who passed away at age 59.

Episode 8 of Cosmic America! And we head back to 1973, and to another continent, for a stellar live set by the preeminent live act in rock at the time, The Rolling Stones. Brussels Affair from 1973 provides lots of the standard Rolling Stones live set from the era, plus some really sublime little moments that are (for once) expertly recorded and documented for the listener. Max Mick Taylor. Decent amounts of Billy Preston. Mick giving a shit about (most of) the lyrics. Keith being Keith. Bill and Charlie manning the engine room. This one's worth your time.

On this episode of Cosmic America, we jump surprisingly far forward in the musical timeline, tackling the British band Arctic Monkeys and their most recent release, "A.M.". Will Galen be able to get his head wrapped around all these newfangled sounds? (yes)  We sit down and chat about a thoroughly enjoyable modern rock album, so enjoy and listen in.

On this episode of Cosmic America, we tackle the midway point of Steely Dan's primary studio phase — 1975's Katy Lied. Once described as "an epic bardic saga" on some message board that I read in the late 90's, this album captures the Dan as they transitioned fully from a touring outfit to a pure-studio outfit. The army of session musicians who would come to dominate later albums had started to assemble on this one, and the album ended up hosting some lesser-known but incredibly important songs in the band's canon. Musical cleverness and lyrical obliqueness fully on display throughout this one.Be sure to subscribe to Cosmic America on iTunes, and tweet us with your musical thoughts and review ideas at @doctorgc and @akmccarthy.
