The Black Crowes Announce Reunion Tour with Tim Lefebvre on Bass
For the first time since 2013, brothers Chris and Rich Robinson of the Black Crowes will be putting their differences aside to reunite for a tour. Next year will see the duo celebrating the 30th anniversary of their smash debut album, Shake Your Money Maker, which had four hit singles: “Hard to Handle,” “She Talks to Angels,” “Jealous Again,” and “Twice As Hard.”
The band’s tumultuous career seemed to over for good in 2015 when Rich announced their breakup, but it seems the music brought them back together.
“It’s always been our band and it’s funny through all the trajectory of the good and the bad — the joy and the frustrations,” Chris told Rolling Stone. “[Rich and I] were laughing, saying the one thing [we] can always agree on is, Shake Your Money Maker’s a good record.”
The brothers will be joined by an all-new backing band featuring guitarist Isiah Mitchell, keyboardist Joel Robinow, drummer Raj Ojha, and bassist Tim Lefebvre, who has previously worked with the Tedeschi Trucks Band, David Bowie, Whose Hat Is This?, and many more.
The band teased their upcoming tour with a gig at the Bowery Ballroom in New York City on November 11th. Check out this fan-shot cover of the Rolling Stones hit “It’s Only Rock and Roll”:
