Mmmmm... they've been at war since they were kids (with Rick being at the receiving end). In his book Gorman writes that the very 1st time he witnessed Chris attacking Rick he told the guitarist : "why don't you whack him in the face real good? After that he'll leave you alone for the rest of your life!".
Had Rick done this, the Crowes would have probably followed a normal path as a band... ("Hey Chris! Behaving like a d!ck again? Want some beating to set you straight? No? Good boy!")
What a pity!

Check out this audience video of “Sister Luck”: you have to squint to see the rest of the band. Right down to lighting design, this is all about the brothers.

I always thought this tune was a not-so-subtle ripoff of Knockin' on Heavens Door until the chorus comes in, and from there it sounds like a Skynyrd or a Greg Allman solo tune

As far as Rich’s part is concerned, it’s a straight-up rewrite of “Sway.”

Anyone who read Gorman’s book will recognize the irony of them covering IORR.

Context: It's 1998, By Your Side sessions, trying to strip down the jamming and find a way back to the rock sound of Shake Your Money Maker...
Gorman writes:
'Once back in the studio, Kalodner made a suggestion. "How about IORR?"
No one said a word. We were stunned.
Kalodner continued, "Don (president Columbia) and the staff thin it will be an international hit. A absolute smash. Do this one right, and it'll change everything."
Chris, of all people, said, "@#$%& it. Let's give it a shot."
As we started playing through the song, familiarizing ourselves with it, Rich finally pulled the plug.
"I can't do this. This isn't real. 'Hard to Handle' was great because we were just playing a song we loved. This won't work."
And that was the end of that. We all recognized, actually, that Rich was right. So we bailed.
To us, even considering the suggestion indicated we were willing to be team players. To Don Ienner, our passing on the suggestion was a direct snub and indicated we weren't worth another minute of his time.
This turned out to be the final straw, because we'd already made one decission that had pissed him off back in May, and Don didn't give anyone a third chance to spurn him...
After By Your Side came out, Columbia made no effort whatsoever to promote the album. It turned out to be a commercial flop.

The fact they’re trying to fill sheds *shocked* me. They did not play those venues at the height of their popularity. I’m sure they’re seeing data that we’re not seeing; that WSJ article from last month, about Gen X live rock nostalgia, hinted at big numbers.
But I just don’t see it. Relative to boomers and millennials, Gen X is smallish in number and market strength. It could be that the brothers have been convinced that they’re going to attract swaths of fans of other bands from the era. Who knows. Above my pay grade.

Danny Zelisko says: "Make money, not friends" - should have been the title of the tour.
Looking at the L.A. Forum show and only about 1/3 sold, and many of those are up for resale from scalpers.
VIP packages as high as $750? Who do they think they are, the Rolling Stones?!!!
