It's a shame that Chris can't just be happy with his solo career. When I read this yesterday it reminded me of a combination of Mick's solo tour and Axl Rose's control grab of the GnR brand... Go out and hire backing musicians so you can play your classic songs and don't have to split the money with your bandmates.
Note: I could be wrong.
Torn as to if I'll make the effort to go see him in this incarnation... I enjoy him and the Crowes music but this just doesn't make me feel all that excited to support him with my time & $$$.

Yeah Chris, we all know you are weird and proud of it!@
But that isn’t a good reason to be a dick about it and rubbing it in his brothers face with this band!
Sorry, Im not liking Chris these days.
His “Im an artists, doing what I want” schtick is not a good excuse, for whats happening here.
Chris Robinson's "Bitter-hood"!!
Albeit, I will still probably go see this band, DOH!!!

I too am a big black Crowes fan. And I too am also very irritated with Chris. He is a fantastic singer no doubt about it. But reading the interviews and articles about the break up it’s very depressing to read Chris’s roll in all of this. Then when magpie salute started up he was disparaging calling them a crowes cover band. It was interesting to read Rich’s response, him saying that he is playing the songs that he wrote. Interesting, Rich obviously was the primary song writer with the melodies and Chris more than likely most of the lyrics. I went to see magpie salute and they were phenomenal! Then you have interviews with Chris saying that he doesn’t really want to play the Black Crowes songs, they aren’t his passion, etc. Now suddenly he’s going to tour and play only black Crowes. Jealous again? I won’t be going to see him. No desire. I saw magpie salute And they were excellent. Organic, and everyone on stage clearly loved the music. Why would I pay money to go see Chris, who says that it’s gross to play The Black Crowes just for money, when that is what he is obviously doing. He’s kind of a jerk! Now it is like a battle of the best black Crowes bands. And again magpie salute wins having Mark ford! Case closed.
