Thirty years ago, The Black Crowes, led by brothers Chris and Rich Robinson, released their debut album Shake Your Money Maker. The album was, as Rolling Stone described, “a guitar-party cracker that marries Southern R&B crunch and Anglo cock-strutting attitude.” At a time when journalists were mourning the death of rock as cheesy pop and hair metal dominated the charts, The Black Crowes emerged from Atlanta to resuscitate it. The authentically gritty blues-rock album, went double platinum in its first year. Needless to say, in a pre-social media world, the quick rise to stardom coupled with a zero fucks attitude led to complete chaos. The Melody Maker crowned them “The most Rock n’ Roll Rock n’ Roll Band in the world” and The Black Crowes didn’t disappoint. Their storied history has the common denominators of any famous band: bad label deals, addiction, band break ups and make ups, epic sold out tours all while prolifically releasing eight studio albums, four live albums and selling over 35 million records. The two things that make and break the band has always been the dueling rockstar brothers. The band called it quits forever in 2013 with each brother vowing to never play or speak again. February 13, 2020 marks the official 30th anniversary of quintuple platinum album Shake Your Money Maker. On November 11, 2019 legend Howard Stern shocked fans by announcing the reunion of Chris and Rich Robinson, who will tour as The Black Crowes once again.

Formed in 1994 as Mr. Crowe’s Garden and anchored by brothers Chris and Rich Robinson, the band changed their name after signing to Rick Rubin’s Def American label in 1989.
Their 1990 debut LP, Shake Your Money Maker, went multi-Platinum, with the singles “Hard To Handle” and “She Talks To Angels” reaching No. 1 on Billboard’s Album Rock Tracks chart.
The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion, the Crowes’ 1992 sophomore album, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200.
In 1999, the band teamed up with Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page for a short run of concerts, and recordings of their L.A. shows were used to create the album Live at the Greek.
Following a hiatus, the group returned to form with the 2008 LP Warpaint, and they recorded the follow-up, Before the Frost... Until the Freeze, in Woodstock with The Band’s Levon Helm.
Rich Robinson announced The Black Crowes’ breakup in 2015, but they later reconciled and scheduled an extended tour celebrating the 30th anniversary of Shake Your Money Maker.
