The Black Crowes got their start as “Mr. Crowe's Garden” when Chris and Rich Robinson formed the band while attending Walton High School in Marietta, Georgia.  The name comes from the children's book “Johnny Crow's Garden” by Leonard Leslie Brooke.  They changed their name after moving to New York City where they met producer George Drakoulias who introduced them to music like The Faces and Humble Pie, and signed them at Def American.  Their debut album, Shake Your Money Maker, gets its name from an old Elmore James blues song, though that song does not appear on the album.  It was recorded in the summer of 1989 in Atlanta and Los Angeles.  This debut turned out to be a rocket of an album, peaking at number 4 on the Billboard 200, and it has sold over 5 million copies.  Readers of Rolling Stone magazine voted the Black Crowes “Best New American Band” at the end of 1990.The Black Crowes are often compared to late 60's and early 70's acts like the Faces and the Rolling Stones.  The group at the time consisted of Chris Robinson on vocals, Rich Robinson on guitar, Jeff Cease on guitar (the only Black Crowes album for which he would be a member), Johnny Colt on bass and Steve Gorman on drums.The group would break up a couple of times, and reformed for a third time in 2019.  They released an EP of newly recorded tracks called 1972 which consists of covers of songs released in 1972.  They released a double live album in 2023 called Shake Your Money Maker Live.Bruce presents this album which reinterprets the blues. Jealous AgainThe debut single from the band and the album would reach number 75 on the Billboard Hot 100, and number 5 on the Billboard Album Rock Tracks charts.  The song is about jealousy and the inner turmoil that it causes.  There was a lawsuit against Gretchen Wilson for her song “Work Hard, Play Harder,” which was settled out of court.  Chris and Rich Robinson were given songwriting credits for the track, along with an undisclosed sum in the settlement.Struttin' BluesThis deep cut will be unfamiliar to those who haven't played the album or CD, but it gives you a good flavor for the album as a whole.  It is pretty much a straightforward blues piece.  “My baby got her engine hummin' Struttin' blues gonna' find me again.”Twice As HardThis is the starting track to the album.  The lyrics are about the difficulties of leaving a relationship for the second time, or perhaps about getting off drugs.  One theory is that it is a little of both, with the first time being when the guy leaves his love over her use of drugs, and the second time when he says goodbye at her funeral. She Talks to AngelsOne of the bigger hits from the album, this song reached number 30 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 1 on the Albums tracks.  The riff and the lyrics are older, going back to their early days.  The picture of the girl is an amalgam of girls they saw at clubs in Atlanta who would dress goth.  Much of the lyrics were written early in Chris and Rich Robinson's life when hey really hadn't lived the drug lifestyle that they talk about.  The song inspired Hootie and The Blowfish's song “Let Her Cry.” ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Main theme from the television series “Twin Peaks”David Lynch's quirky show got its start in this month. STAFF PICKS:Big Blue '82 by Daniella DaxWayne gets the staff pick party hopping with this deep but danceable cut.  Danielle Dax is an experimental musician from England who tells a simple story of being newly in love with this song.  Although not as well known in the States, Dax was big in the club circuit in Europe before switching to a career in interior design in 1996.Nothing Compares 2  by Sinead O'ConnorLynch brings us the unmistakable sound of O'Connor's biggest hit and cover of a song originally penned and performed by Prince.  While the original was a funk and soul ballad, O'Connor strips the ballad down to a raw, emotional piece focusing on her powerful vocals.Big Love by Robert Plant Rob features Led Zeppelin's vocalist on a track from his third album, “Manic Nirvana.”  This was the playful first single, and is filled with double entendres.  Sexual innuendoes were common in Led Zeppelin songs, so this continues the tradition.  It is about an affair with a flight attendant when it references “free air miles.”  Kiss This Thing Goodbye by Del AmitriBruce closes out the staff picks with a shuffle beat song off Del Amitri's second studio album, “Waking Hours.”  Del Amitri will be better known to U.S. listeners for their 1995 single, “Roll to Me.”  This song tells the tale of a love that has been over for a while, and the couple need to make the decision to move on. LAUGH TRACK:Heartbreaker (At the End of Lonely Street) by Dread ZeppelinWhat do you get when you cross Led Zeppelin with an Elvis impersonator?  Find out as we leave this week's podcast. 

While Graceland is the most famous of Elvis' homes, the first home he purchased on the cusp of his meteoric rise to fame was on Audobon Drive in Memphis.  Author Cindy Hazen purchased the home in 1998 and discovered some incredible memories of Elvis still inside.  We take you inside  1034 Audobon Drive.

What happens when one artist's work is read through the lens of another? Tré Burt's rambling bluesman sound means his music is constantly compared to that of Bob Dylan, but as a Black man living in 2021, his writing draws from very different perspectives. In this interview, Tré and Adia distinguish what it means to write from experience versus observation, share how working blue-collar jobs has fed their artistic careers, and remember the late, great John Prine.

In 1956, Elvis Presley released what would be hist first huge hit, and once of the biggest singles of all time, Heartbreak Hotel. The song has a sinister inspiration, from a suicide note to a crime spree, join us today for a trip down Lonely Street.

Justin continues the discussion with Tony Plews, author of "Walk A Lonely Street: Elvis Presley, Country Music and the True Story of Heartbreak Hotel," digging deep not only into the foundations of "Heartbreak Hotel" as written by Mae Boren Axton & Tommy Durden, but the genesis of the song itself: the tragic life, and end, of criminal Alvin Krolik. Amazing connections and tales uncovered by Tony are discussed, including why "Heartbreak Hotel"'s original published sheet music sounds so different from Elvis' recording, how Colonel Parker got one over on music publishers Julian & Jean Aberbach when it came to Elvis' first national hit, coincidences abound in the west Texas town of El Paso, and a heartbreaking epilogue that leads both Justin and Tony to get choked up. All this and so much more, and that's before Gurdip re-joins Justin as they both tackle "Heartbreak Hotel" as one of the biggest "Song of the Week" segments they've tackled. They highlight key performances of the song from throughout Elvis' career, then 10 of the most notable or interesting cover versions they could find. We hope you have enjoyed this two-part discussion! If you are interested in picking up "Walk A Lonely Street," please visit Tony's website georgesmithpublications.com for details and links.

After Justin & Gurdip discuss the official release of the Peloton Elvis remixes, Gurdip sets Justin loose with author Tony Plews to talk about his new book "Walk A Lonely Street: Elvis Presley, Country Music, & The True Story of Heartbreak Hotel." Tony's book is a sweeping, nearly 700-page epic, spanning from just after the US Civil War through the 20th Century, with a cast of real life-characters as interesting, and a web of stories as deeply interconnected, as any modern fantasy or sci-fi saga. This first half of the discussion leads up to July 1954 and Tony's convincing theory about whether "That's All Right" was really as spontaneous as all the biopics have made it out to be. We are extremely proud to present this two-part discussion this week. Next week, we will continue with the chilling real-life inspiration for "Heartbreak Hotel," the songwriting process Mae Boren Axton & Tommy Durden undertook, and the influence of the music publishing industry on Elvis's career as well as Song of the Week featuring, what else? "Heartbreak Hotel"! If you are interested in picking up "Walk A Lonely Street," please visit Tony's website georgesmithpublications.com for details and links.

The pair subsequently set about recording an almost indescribable mix of material. 1968's "Gulliver's Travels" was clearly one of Oldham's odder projects. Based on the famous Jonathan Swift book, the Oldham-produced album stands as an early stab at a concept piece. Described as "a musical journey inspired by Jonathan's Swift's story", the album featured a bizarre mix of song fragments (including unlicensed snippets of The Lovin' Spoonful's "Do You Believe In Magic" and a couple of Little Richard cops), sound effects (courtesy of David Collison), backward tapes and heavily orchestrated incidental music. Elsewhere, the title track featured a performance former Manfred Mann vocalist Mike D'Abo. It's all exceptionally strange and occasionally quite taking and is one of those LPs best heard through a good pair of headphones. Unfortunately, the failure to secure copyright/licensing rights for the song fragments and D'Abo (who was still signed to a contract with Fontana) saw the LP pulled from circulation within a matter of weeks.  Needless to say, today pristine copies are quire rare.

I recite to you a poem on heartbreak that I wrote a few years back.

Episode 16, wherein Lonely Street runs red with blood and white with pancake makeup. It's a battle between two of the biggest indie comic darlings in the history of the medium. In one corner, we have the Goon, the zombie-slaying crimeboss with the fists of concrete and the heart of something resembling gold. In the other corner, we have the original Twilight, the sexiest undead character ever conceived, the Crow. It's a fight of the nigh-invincible undead against a man who specializes in killing the unkillable. Peat Ski takes the side of the Goon and vows to show a lot of grit, moxie and knives-to-the-eye. Pyg reps the Crow and plans to prove that the 90s never ended (despite each successive Crow movie being exponentially worse than the original.) Only one thing is certain in this match-up, and that's the fact that nothing is certain (© Gorilla Monsoon.)
