THE POWER!| FIRST TIME HEARING The Black Crowes - Twice As Hard REACTION

[@Shrykespeare]

When I heard "Hard to Handle" for the first time in 1990, I ran right out and bought The Black Crowes' debut album "Shake Your Money Maker". It didn't disappoint, and I wore it out. This song was also on that album, as was "She Talks to Angels", which you've already reacted to. You really need to do "Jealous Again", also off that album. Other great tracks off subsequent albums include "Thorn in My Pride", "Sting Me", "Hotel Illness", and "Good Friday". Can't go wrong with this band. While I'm at it, I'd like to recommend another band with a similar vibe that I think you will love, that being Candlebox. "Far Behind" would be a great place to start.

[@thegridrunner9976]

Covers are rarely better than the original but Black Crows improved on Otis Redding's Hard to Handle.

[@gus9482]

I wore out the Candlebox CD too. "Far Behind" and "You".

[@riocannistrano756]

Drivin N ' Cryin is also A wicked similar band that no one talks about anymore.

[@diannaw3034]

Same!!! Heard Hard to Handle.. and ran out and bought the album immediately! They did that song such justice.. and that whole album slayed!

[@someoldatheist6712]

I did the same but bought it on cassette tape and I loaned it to a stripper i knew for her set and I never did get it back lol

[@jcdvt1]

That guitar riff is so slick. That’s what makes this song for me. If you want another side of them- Seeing Things for the First Time or Thorn in my Pride

[@DeddyShack]

My two choices also!

[@ikymagoo]

Yes, thorn in my pride is probably my favorite song by them, when I show off my audio system, that’s one of my go to songs

[@remedy9648]

Oh yeah, you hit it right on the head!

[@mledbetter]

My favorite!

[@APoxOnNordStream]

What a way to announce yourself to the world, first track, first album. Booom.

[@thatdamelana]

This is the band for you guys. All I can say is more. You have a rabbit hole of greatness waiting. I've seen them live more than any other band. Sometimes Salvation, Seeing Things, Bad Luck Goodbye, Wiser Time, Thorn In My Pride, Sting Me, Jealous Again.......I could go on about their diverse awesome catalog. Enjoy! LOL!

[@JaneSmith-lu8ol]

This. ⬆️

[@Shrykespeare]

Thorn in my Pride is on another level.

[@ladyamythyst69]

I’ve been desperately requesting they do Thorn in My Pride because it will blow their minds.

[@greglegakis4177]

FYI, you're not using the term "rabbit hole" correctly. But don't worry, you're not alone here on KZbin.

[@roncarnes5724]

Speaking of "rabbits"...saw the Black Crowes years ago with Planet Drum, Ratdog and Arlo Guthrie. Every artist joined the others in stage at various points. But the highlight was when one of the Crowes backup singers sang "White Rabbit" and obliterated the crowd 😱

[@Seanriver316]

One of my favorites, these guys jam! "Hard to Handle"(cover of an old blues tune), "Jealous Again" and my personal favorite "Thorn in My Pride".

[@caseymoe816]

When Mick Jagger and Rod Stewart had a kid, Chris Robinson was born! Dude was a rock star in the womb! 🤩🤟 And his brother is a bad ass guitarist too! 🔥🤙

[@williamwillett7773]

Not to mention, "was" married to Kate Hudson...... What'd a lucky guy!!

[@flyingburritobro68]

More like Steve Marriott

[@APoxOnNordStream]

@@flyingburritobro68 Absolutely spot on

[@DouglasRyan-ux9cj]

The Black crowes were 1990’s Bar/ drinking muzik!!

[@daisytg]

I’m always down for more of these guys. Any song. Lol

[@lancedelger5182]

"Hard to Handle" and "Thorn In My Pride" are a couple more excellent diddies off their amazing music catalog.

[@buckcherrygirl]

Those Robinson boys can do it right. So happy they are back together and touring !! Love this band. So much fun and the energy behind their music is infectious !! Jealous Again is a killer tune I think you would really enjoy.

[@diannaw3034]

Agreed!!!!

[@jamesgalimo1007]

"The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion" is one of those rare albums where you can put it on and just hit play. Every song is a banger. From "Sting Me" to "Sometimes Salvation" through "My Morning Song" and finishing with "Time Will Tell." Every. Single. One.

[@frederickgallegos2047]

There is a very underrated Black Crows song called " seeing things". It's my absolute favorite song from them. I think you guys would love it.

[@andreameehan9564]

Love that song!

[@lorijohnston4311]

I just saw the Crowes in concert this past weekend. So, so good! Chris is quite the showman and can still belt it out!

[@thatdamelana]

I went a few months ago and they are back again this summer, same show. I’m need to go! Chris sounds amazing as usual.😭

[@andreameehan9564]

I saw them 30 yrs ago in NYC and 15 yrs ago in DC. Glad to hear they still sound great!

[@remedy9648]

Dam I’m jealous! I saw them back in the early 2000’s and Jimmy Page played with them. It was my dream concert.

[@ladyamythyst69]

I keep tellin y’all you’re missing out! You really haven’t even seen anything yet with the Black Crowes. You’ve mostly only heard songs off their first album & believe me you haven’t even seen how hard they can rock out, how amazing Chris can sing, Marc Ford’s guitar genius etc. They are a band you guys will LOVE if you just dive into them more. Sometimes Salvation, Thorn in My Pride, Soul Singing, No Speak No Slave…hose are songs you will never forget. And they have tons more.

[@melissar8304]

Yesss, FINALLY more Black Crowes !!!!

[@doug_nu_york4853]

I got the demo of this album shake your moneymaker six months before it was released from the stage manager of the Marshall Tucker band. And he told me watch out for these guys they’re going to be big

[@twenty3enigma]

Jealous Again 😂🤣

[@nancysmith8626]

He was right!

[@deanreedy4991]

Always got to get in with those sound guys Mgr etc, you can get stuff the band hasn't even got yet

[@joanneviel8388]

They were just as good live

[@jenniferkasowicz9463]

“Hard to Handle” - my favorite Black Crowes song. Amber will love the horn section. 😊They are fire. ❤️✌️

[@Eirilyn]

I love this group, I flew out to Tampa to see them last September. Best show! They opened with this song. You should check out Jealous Again and Thorn In My Pride

[@trudydavidson528]

Love,....LOVE Thorn in my Pride!!!!👍

[@AL13NM]

Great track from a great album! COULD I'VE BEEN SO BLIND, SISTER LUCK and SEEING THINGS are two Must Hears!

[@XxMiSangrexX]

love to hear more Black Crowes "seeing things" or "sometimes salvation" are killer tunes and very bluesy! you'll love it!!

[@ginao8935]

Love the Black Crowes!!! So glad you found them!!! I’ve seen them in concert a few times and they do not disappoint!

[@BjornAgain76]

You need to do more The Black Crowes! Next up: Seeing things, Thorn in my pride, Descending, or Soul Singing. All of which I now you will like :D

[@brianherrington7226]

Sister Luck, Thorn In My Pride, High Head Blues, Wiser Time the list is endless.

[@jenniferandrews1917]

“SEEING THINGS FOR THE FIRST TIME” will take you to Church, my friends. ❤️

[@randomhockeyguy9149]

I just saw these guys in concert in South Florida 2 weeks ago. They still kick ass. One reason Chris can probably still sing very well at age 55 is because the two brothers (Chris the singer, Rich the guitarist) were always fighting and the band was broken up for years. Probably saved his voice. Was a great concert. They are a band where, even if you don't know the words or the songs, the music and vibe is just great that it doesn't matter, you are still having fun and enjoying it.

[@wallybear4362]

Seeing Things by The Black Crows is another great song to check out, I highly recommend it.

[@MiguelLopez-is9te]

🙂 I remember seeing them live in 1990 when they opened up for Heart.

[@rebeccarockchik6704]

This band is one of my absolute favorites from day one up until today!! You can't go wrong with any of their songs!! Check out Good Friday, Jealous Again, Thorn in my Pride, Seeing Things...🔥🔥🔥

[@kristin55watson]

I forgot how much I love this band!!! So many memories!!

[@sudman6251]

One of my favorite bands. I’ve got about 5 albums and listen to them all the time!

[@jameshilts4817]

My favorite song by them is: Seeing things! Highly recommend that song!

[@theresatrapp4532]

Oh my gosh, thank you thank you!!! So great, such good memories. This whole album is just perfect, beginning to end. Not a bad song on it and I still listen to it to this day.

[@glennfaithfull547]

Great band “Virtue and vice” “Wiser time” She gave good sunflower “

[@Valerieblaise]

I got my driver's license in 1990. I remember listening to "Shake Your Money Maker" in my parents Pontiac any time I got to drive alone & the whole record is great, but this one & "Jealous Again" were the ones that HAD to be sung along with.

[@leannewilson7184]

This is my most scratchy CD💿cover in my collection … been listening to it for 30 YEARS !

[@Wrangzilla]

@Brutally Goofy Buddha haha. I stumbled upon a big box with 4 large leather cases and 2 smaller ones with my CD collection in it. I flipped through it, had a few memories, then put them back the way I found them for later memories…

[@w.geoffreyspaulding6588]

Great band. One of those that self-destructed due to to ego issues. Jimmy Page played and toured with them for awhile in late 90’s and they did both Black Crowes and Zeppelin songs.

[@etc7070]

Oh wow, I don't think I've heard this one in a long time, as I've forgotten how HARD it rocks! But as soon as I heard those opening chords, it took me right back to the early 1990s. I used to hear this song a lot on my favorite rock radio station (when those things existed!)

[@ronaldelliott4373]

Finally found someone playing this song. Backing vocals are lit, and that power chord after the solo is perfection. Robinson Bros. back out there! 🤘😎

[@jeralbrown4729]

Please do Hard to Handle. That's the song that got me lovin the Black Crows

[@Hobodeluxe960]

Jealous Again, Sometimes Salvation it's hard to go wrong with these guys.

[@gemsun6512]

Yeah this entire album is fire! Had it on cassette lol, before CD’s were a thing! They’re still touring to this day! Great reaction guys! ✌🏼❤️

[@Jamie644]

Thorn In My Pride and Jealous Again are two great songs you should check out next. I saw them opening up for Heart in the early 90s and they were fantastic.

[@emilylarsson8777]

My FAVORITE band!! Please keep the BC’s reactions coming 👏

[@bobwallace9814]

The singer was a Kate Hudson baby daddy. She has three baby daddies. Fathers day must be confusing around the Hawn household.

[@Wrangzilla]

Heck yeah!!! Going to see them tomorrow in Portsmouth, Va…. Can’t wait!!!

[@Gordy63]

Hands down best band to come out of the 90’s. Literally every song on their first two albums are awesome, and many, many more great tunes after that. Keep coming back to these guys and you won’t be disappointed- promise!

[@jasonjennings9087]

You’re on a roll! Great music lately. Now try another Georgia band that is extremely slept on…… Drivin’ n Cryin’! Try “Honeysuckle Blue” or “Fly Me Courageous”…… and then try “Straight To Hell” for a different side of them.

[@nancysmith8626]

I second that!

[@LaserRanger15]

We get overlooked as a good music city sometimes

[@IsabelleRSG]

‘Seeing Things’ is a great slower gospel-sounding one. Chris’ voice will make you smile and shiver in that one

[@b62boom1]

For a little guy, he can really belt it out! Absolutely recommend seeing them live. They're phenomenal!

[@bscott5965]

I'll be seeing them in concert for the fourth time in August, Harrah's Casino in Council Bluffs Iowa. I cannot wait! They are an amazing live band. You ever get a chance, you must go!!!

[@lancemacmillan]

When my son was like 4, this is the first song that he ever got the beat to. He started marching around the living room to the drums and rocking out, 13 years later he collects Beatles and Rolling Stones vinyls and knows more about older music than I do ❤️!

[@ZRockReady]

You’d also enjoy Drivin' N' Cryin'. Fly Me Courageous, Around the Block, Build A Fire, For You, and Together from their 1991 album released almost a year after this Black Crowes album.

[@timjenkins4065]

Absolute fire!

[@BenWillyums]

I've seen them live about ten times and they delivered every single time, even though they seemed to just play whatever songs they felt like (not even their big hits some shows) and took chances by jamming out. Mad respect. Good reaction guys. Song Suggestion: Sting Me.

[@fergieferguson2457]

Great vid..I seen them 2 times in concert 1986 Memphis in may and 1992 in Daytona beach and when they played THORN IN MY PRIDE that’s been my favorite song by them ever…

[@leighs3928]

My absolute favorite Black Crowes song. It just rocks!

[@Star_R666]

Even their softer songs still go hard - as much as I love the high energy songs their ballads are beautiful

[@gregd8427]

Every song on the first album is great. Second album is outstanding as well.

[@scottcurran1622]

I followed the Crowes around New England for 10 years. Didn’t miss a show. Start jumping into their live work. That’s where they really let loose and shine. Do more please!!!🤘🏼

[@Sisterluck13]

You just can't go wrong with The Black Crowes. They deserve a deep deep dive. As much live as possible. They are AMAZING! followed them for years. Great live band.

[@loristone9242]

This whole album delivers from start to finish. Every single track. Excellent reaction.

[@dmb70]

These guys came out at the end of the hair band era & were a total throw back to 70’s classic rock. Other must listen Black Crowes, Sting Me, Black Moon Creeping, Thorn In My Pride, My Morning Sing, Girl From Pawn Hop, BlackBerry, Wiser Time, Jealous Again, Cursed Damond, Descender, Good Friday, Better When Your Not Alone, Kickin’ My Heart Around, By Your Side, Only A Fool, Virtue & Vice, Lickin, Soul Singin’, Miracle To Me, Predictable, My Heart”s Killing Me, Lifevest, Goodbye Daughters of the Revolution, Locust Street, Appaloosa, Houston Don’t Dream About Me.

[@stewartmatthews1551]

That was awesome guys

[@sherrihayward4500]

Love the black crowes, more collective soul, level 42, and your boy Barry 😁😁😁

[@celtasnake]

Virtue and vice, Soul Singing, Houston don´t dream about me, Goodbye daughters ..... to say a few that are not normally mentioned ........ and the list goes on ..... What a great band.

[@SarahBReyes]

The Black Crowes have been my favorite band for 32 years and counting! They are incredible, especially live! You guys need to catch one of their shows ASAP!!!

[@jasonremy1627]

Next up from the Black Crows, you have to listen to "Seeing Things". It's awesome.

[@diannaw3034]

I know everyone's saying it.. but.. but .. but.... HARD TO HANDLE has to be the next Black Crowes song for sure!!!!! :D

[@williamcarroll3061]

Thorn in my pride is a must for a reaction.

[@suegreene7841]

Hey guys! Black Crowes are awesome. “Jealous Again” is a banger! That one should be next!

[@lyriasfaves]

I saw them in a very small venue, on a warm summer night in an outdoor amphitheater in Mesa, AZ...sitting on a blanket under the stars. They were captivating the entire show.

[@sisterdebmac]

You gotta do Jealous Again! Talk about a banger. These guys are from my hometown. Love 'em!

[@doug4036]

This is great song with heavy nostalgia for me. After a long passage of time I can see this song is truly about: an excuse to ROCK on every instrument on every last studio mic input! With good headphones this song will throw you around the room!

[@sharoncraig4231]

My favorite Black Crowes song!

[@rachelceleste2111]

One of they're best underrated songs is wiser time. Really shows of all aspects of the band.

[@capstan50g]

I'd say you should check out Sometimes Salvation, which has a great gospel feel and an amazing guitar solo where the guitarist plays around with the pitches between the notes. Amazing.

[@elizabethfranco1284]

Great band love his voice!

[@tatearroyo8663]

Saw them Sunday night here in Atlanta and they were fan-f*%kin-tastic!

[@Pilodon]

Sometimes Salvation NEXT! It will absolutely blow you away!

[@slap_A_flamingo]

Song has so many good memories for me man. Me and my best friend jam with this all the time. Needs to be in every guitar session man 🎸 🎸 🎸

[@jimdunagan4180]

such a good song....these guys are throw backs for sure...appreciating where it comes from.

[@kchawaii6138]

I saw them in concert back in 1992 in Japan. Great band, fun times!

[@rveino2978]

I saw them around 15 years ago.They played in a park in Toronto for free.That was one of my best concerts.

[@joshuablevins4340]

The first time I ever heard this song was in 1984 in Navy boot camp when my company Commander was cycling us, but we were lucky enough to have company Commanders , which are the equivalent of drill sergeants in the navy, who would actually be cool enough to play music whenever they made us exercise a lot. To complete your Black Crowes quadrology you absolutely have to do a reaction to "Hard to Handle". That song will blow your mind and was probably their second highest chart-topping single

[@skydog6376]

They do some excellent Led Zeppelin covers with Jimmy Page ✌️

[@kbusby4824]

They just got a great review for their show at the new Orion Amphitheater in Huntsville, Alabama. Drivin' n' Cryin' opened for them. Good to know the brothers from Atlanta are reunited and touring again.

[@michaeldavis6171]

They go Twice As Hard! 😄😉 I love the Black Crows, the guitar or in this is just amazing

[@damonhines8187]

Yeah, 'Jealous Again' here too!!! Their first I heard, was sold instantly!!

[@darrellmatz1111]

Black Crow's Sometimes Salvation VEVO video is 🤬🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@davewilson9219]

Shake your money maker is simply a glorious rock and roll album from start to finish. Every song is excellent.

[@jonathangeraldrobinson720]

Aaaah. The first track off of the first album. "Shake Your Money Maker" was my soundtrack to the summer of 1990. Please check out "Jealous Again" next. It was the first song I ever heard from them, and I swear, the first time I heard it, during the spring semester of my freshman year in college, I thought The Faces (Rod Stewart's old band) had gotten back together. "Sister Luck," "High Head Blues," and "Sting Me" are great ones also, but there are so many.

[@ronmikels9185]

My Morning Song and Stop Kicking my Heart Around are my favorites. Catching them for the first time live on Saturday. I’m very excited.

[@traceyellison9962]

** Black crows are playing OKC Zoo August 24th

[@jamesscoggins7689]

Seeing Things, by the black crows is my jam.....such power!!

[@venturefar2851]

❤❤I love the Black Crowes such a great band so talented these guys are special rock on .❤❤

[@Scauls1]

As many others just like myself, I listen to huge amounts of music, it's my 2nd best friend, it doesn't me questions, it never judges me and without thought it gives me everything I need. KZbin is like a universe that goes on and on and we just keep exploring to find new things. I came across both of you a couple of weeks ago, can't remember which song it was, myst have been a favourite of mine as that's one reason I subscribed to you and started listening to your views on what I consider great tracks from various artists. There are a few duo's doing what you're doing and have viewed a few of them. Something about you two that keeps me interested enough to hear your opinions, it's refreshing and you say it with such feelings and enjoyment, great to see. Black Crowes. Super band, great vocals from Chris, never a break in the song, quality. Just a bit of food for thought. You may have done but haven't seen it so, "Dry County" By Bon Jovi is one epic song for your super collection of some mind controlling sounds. X

[@tdonger]

Great band. Lots of bangers. Hotel Illness, Jealous Again, Sting Me, ....

[@paulrwest4117]

Black Crowes, great band, underrated band for sure.

[@lucassheffield8861]

Super fun southern rock band for sure ... "Soul Singing" is one of my favs from them too...
