Blues Matters! 6 20 THE BLACK CROWESOnce dubbed, “the most rock’n’roll, rock’n’roll band in the world,” The Black Crowes seem to have mellowed with age, and are appreciate of their fanbase, who have given them twenty successful years. “Part of the reason we recorded this album in front of a live audience was to try to find a way to keep involved the die-hard fans that come to see us every year - to let them share a little bit of what we do in the studio with them. So, this is also an extension of that, to say, “Thank you!” If you are still buying a CD twenty years later, we think that’s great.”
