This 3 CD set includes two discs featuring superb live radio broadcasts,
recorded and transmitted in 1990 and 1991 respectively, plus a CD of
band interviews and spoken word biography, all of which make for a
fitting tribute to a group who, across more than 25 years, proved that
in-yer-face rock music is alive and well and selling like it always has
done in droves.
The Black Crowes have sold over 30 million
albums, and are listed at number 92 on VH1's "100 Greatest Artists of
Hard Rock". They were also labeled by Melody Maker magazine The Most
Rock 'n' Roll Rock 'n' Roll Band in the World and the readers of Rolling
Stone voted them 'Best New American Band' in 1990. Their discography
includes nine studio albums in all, four live albums and several
charting singles. After a hiatus between 2002 and 2005, the band
released Warpaint, which hit number 5 on the Billboard chart. After the
release of a double album, the greatest hits-like and mostly acoustic
Croweology in August 2010, the band started a 20th anniversary tour that
was followed by an ongoing second hiatus. The band announced that they
would return in early 2013 but that December they returned to hiatus
status with no specific return date. They announced their break-up in
early 2015.
