Founded in 1984 in Marietta, Georgia, The Black Crowes, originally named "Mr. Crowe's Garden" after a children's book, soared into the rock 'n' roll firmament as one of the premier acts resurrecting the soulful vibes of 1970s blues-rock. The band was fronted by brothers Chris Robinson, the charismatic lead vocalist, and guitarist Rich Robinson, who collectively formed the backbone of the group's songwriting and sound, drawing significant influence from rock legends like Led Zeppelin and the Rolling Stones.

The Black Crowes' breakthrough came with their 1990 debut album, "Shake Your Money Maker," which catapulted them to stardom on the strength of hits like "Hard to Handle" and "She Talks to Angels." Their raucous blend of rock, blues, and Southern swagger echoed through subsequent releases and electrifying live performances, strengthening their reputation as a can't-miss concert draw. Over the years, despite multiple hiatuses and lineup changes, the Crowes remained a vital force in rock music, best exemplified in their raw, spirited live recordings such as "Live at the Greek" and "Freak 'N' Roll...Into the Fog: The Black Crowes All Join Hands (The Fillmore, San Francisco)." The band has continued to reach fans new and old, celebrating the 30th anniversary of their landmark debut with "Shake Your Money Maker (30th Anniversary Deluxe)" and continuing to release new music and retrospective live collections like "Wiser for the Time," keeping the unbridled spirit of their early days burning brightly.
