The Black Crowes - Words You Throw Away

B-side from the Hotel Illness single

[@ramytibi]

One of the greatest bands ever. Period.

[@loveoverfearskippy6072]

Fuck yea!;

[@doublozero]

THE greatest

[@Cagney68]

100% agree.

[@MarkCox21125150]

YES!!!

[@tidefootball27]

The greatest song nobody has ever heard. Except the BC faithful :)

[@moneymentum]

I saw it on SNL in 1991 and shouted for them to play it on tour that year with ZZ Top.

Just knocking out b-sides that most other artists could only dream about creating as their main song

[@walman16]

Most Rock N Roll band in Rock N Roll

[@johnweissbach8356]

In the 90’s they were the best touring band fucking period!

[@MarkCox21125150]

AMEN!!

[@steelers6mk]

I couldn't agree more!

[@strictlynorton]

This track and Miserable not being on the album shows you just how good they were in this part of their career.

[@JoshSimpson47]

It was planned that way that’s what makes them great

[@scotttbeee2912]

I talked to Rich outside his solo show at the double door and told him this was my favorite crowes track. He rolled his eyes and said it was just a really long “remedy”.

[@mschwes5376]

scott betkowski I like this better than remedy by a long shot

[@switchbladeromance1466]

@@mschwes5376 me too..this song is contagious..soo much more CROWES than Remedy which is sooo repetitive and I skip it on the album as too commercial for me!🎸🇬🇧🤘

That sounds like Rich, haha

is it even longer than remedy?

[@nicolef3101]

so gritty……..so raw…….so CROWES

Steve Kutz welcome to the cult

[@billyalarie929]

same. my mom used to play Shake.. all the time when i was a kid, and i think being as young as i was, plus being that she overplayed it, i lost a lot of the understanding of the magic that this band is and has been about.

[@ericfroman2990]

Gorman's book brought me here.

[@flugplatz21]

Gorman's snare sound brought me here.

[@slash12376]

How does this gem not make an album??? Cuz they are that good.

[@moneymentum]

Jeff Cease recorded it right before they fired him for Marc Ford. That might have something to do with it.

[@slash12376]

@@moneymentum I didn't know that but it makes total sense.

[@GrantStoke]

This band have never let me down,they are fucking incredible!!!

[@outtasightouttamind6263]

Awesome song, I was lucky enough to get a copy of the Hotel Illness single on clear vinyl. One of the original pressings from '92. It has this song and Rainy Day Woman on it.

[@chrishelms2357]

Casey Araujo awezome duxe

[@ApexImagery]

I consider this record very close to my heart. Mine still has the calendar in it. Why this never made it to Southern Harmony I'll never know. It's one of my favourite songs from the Harmony sessions.

[@GPatrickColvin]

Southern Harmony is their greatest album and the b-sides all rock! I love it all tho.

[@jeffrey-ye9qv]

saw the tour they opened for kravitz mama said tour what a show

[@JoeFitz98]

The Song gets better the more you listen to it 💥💥

[@kristiwoods2186]

Love. Love. Love. Gritty. His voice at it's best❤

[@thefungoden3978]

I worshipped the Southern Harmony record when it came out. Bought the first two BC records on cassette on my way home from school the day TSHAMC was released, but missed this track all these years. The song is like an amalgam of all the other tracks from the album.

[@MzMaggieMcGill]

My brother's band covered this song in the late 90s and it blew me away when I first heard it!

[@jacobjones5269]

Rock n Rolls’ rock n roll band.. Undercover, undercurrent, and under appreciated..

Fuckin' great...I miss the Crowes......seen 'em live over 50 times...need 51 real soon.....

[@roberthart5435]

going for my 20th show June 23rd

[@georgehorniman]

i got the cd single back inthe day and cannot believe this was on the b side. some bands can write and recird for decades and not come near this 'throw away' classic. closest i remember this live brixton academy '92 a jam called the 'the jam, the bread and the roly-poly' or similar?

[@zakkwyldesliver]

Andrew Dickinson This song got turned into “Remedy” and “Thorn In My Pride”.

[@GypsyJen]

I really hope they decide to tour again....it was said that their last tour, the one last year, would be their last for good....I so hope it isnt true.....they are one of the only bands I can say that really moves me

[@moneymentum]

I saw them do this on TV in 1991, I think on SNL back then. I've looked for it ever since. Thank you; I love this one.

[@diebelt1]

why are there so little views for this song???? craziness. Pisses me off when i tell people I like the crowes and their response is always, O yeah i like "she talks to angels". SO MANY OTHER GREAT SONGS, GET THE NET!!!

Thumbs up for Mr Rich Robinson. Thumbs down for CR for his latest comments. Peace

Yes, but for those of us who enjoy Rock and Roll, they're the only ones that are still working. As for the Zeppelin comments, what they did is very clear, and well documented, that their influences were the American blues greats; Zeppelin took it to the next level. in this case ,the music has come full circle.... Everybody here is apart of "the song"

You can hear how some of the guitar ideas got fleshed out into other songs. The end of the riff becomes the first part of Remedy. The quiet, drop-down-and-build chorus thing went into the middle of My Morning Song.

Think this was really just demo. Maybe spring of 91? But, damn. Good.

[@STETTRACE]

I DIG this tune BUT…… I can’t help thinking that , if they this was track 2 I would have wanted Remedy instead. Having said THAT I dig this more than Track2 on Southern Harmony. We ALL I believe would have liked the second version more. BUT THIS IS MY JAM.

[@sofiaibanez249]

[@discosucks]

@slash12376 I think I can help Black Crowes´ fans out in that respect. Just post your mail on my channel page saying you want to rock to this song. I believe that even if the song isn´t available anywhere, fans have the right to get some sunlight of sound in the modern era of tasteless music all around.

[@Tedmund13]

It would be fun to play along and fill in Ed Harsch's and Marc Ford's parts

[@nitnatsnockk]

@mauno911 can you sent it to me too?

[@tyhickman7297]

Is this hard to come by? Yes. It is a b side on the Hotel Illness single, however. Not sure if it was ever even released state side though.

[@brianc678]

The first half of this song is delightful. It has a couple of nice riffs. In fact some band has stolen one for their song Remedy. Second half of the song dwindles away mostly due to some, at best, mediocre lead playing. Would have been nice to hear it on Southern Harmony with Marc playing on it.

[@afmartin2734]

Absolutely. Marc Ford would have helped fleshed it out with his own piece and then some scorching outro as he always did on these kinds of melodies/riffs.

[@rollingstoneoshea7]

Where can I find this song to buy??

[@aianking]

mauno911, can you help me out as well?

[@IndoorsunPaul]

[@tomthompson5686]

I can hear why this track was unreleased. Good move Mr Producer.

[@afmartin2734]

Dumb comment. Stands on its own as a bad ass riff. They should have moved on with and had Ford a part to it and a nasty lead. Remedy is its own thing. Shouldn't have ditched another classic like this, with many more unreleased gems to follow in upcoming years.
