The Black Crowes Will Blow Your Mind!
by LeeStagger on 7/17/09Hampton Beach Casino Ballroom - Hampton BeachThe 2005 reunion of the Black Crowes was a return to form for one of the most underappreciated live acts in rock, but in 2009 the Crowes are finding a stride musically and creatively that is beyond what anyone would have expected. This isn't a band going through the motions. This is a band continuing to explore, continuing to challenge themselves, and continuing to blow the minds of their audience. I've seen the Crowes many times during the past 20 years and for the June18th Hampton Beach show I witnessed a band re-born. If you stopped following the Crowes after 1990's Shake Your Money Maker, you sadly missed out on some fantastic music and some killer live shows, as this band grew by leaps and bounds after their debut album. The good news is it's not too late to make up for lost time and come along for the ride, because in 2009 The Black Crowes are playing some of the best shows of their career. These guys have developed into stellar musicians, and now with the addition of guitar ace (and Rolling Stone magazine proclaimed "guitar god") Luther Dickinson, there's one more reason to check them out. GO SEE THE CROWES!
