Man. I wish I could travel back in time and show Chris and Rich, at the peak of their anti-establishment arrogance, their future aging selves performing a song by Hootie and the Blowfish on Country Music Television.

Maybe it would’ve humbled them.

I am afraid that the same would be true also for me, when I was at the peak of my anti-establishment arrogance ...

Wonder what the late 60s/early 70s Stones would think if they saw themselves touring in 2022?

Those vocals from the Hootie singer have always been grating to my ears...similar to the grunting and growling of Springsteen.

Where are they going? It's just the 2 of them at this point. They've given us some divine music over the years, but that last lil covers ep was rather forgettable. The VINYL of Before The Frost...Until The Freeze is quite possibly one of THE best albums ever recorded. I just listened again the other day. Absolutely exquisite. Appaloosa is one of my all-time favorite songs by anyone. If they could give us another one of those albums, I'd be happy as all get out, but it was a once in a career kind of album I think.

Although SOUTHERN is excellent, FROST etc is their best ever. It's too bad they couldn't keep that together.

I agree with you."Before the frost" is an amazing record. I believe it was recorded live at Levon Helm's barn. There is a video of the show on youTube.

It's gotta be the vinyl though. The way the album flows on the LPs is completely different than the CD, even if one downloaded the 2nd Disc. It's so laid back and sublime. Just goes to show what proper track listing can do for an album when one does it with a LP in mind!!!

Yes an underated classic. My first impression was 'Chris took some vocal lessons', but besides that great all around double album (need to get the 2nd downloadable half if you have the CD).

I think they'd be quite impressed with themselves!

Great groove !

Sounds good! The verse is suspiciously similar to Jealous Again, though

That is excellent news.
Curious if a Jay Joyce production will work;
with his other artists it does more often than not.

Awesome, Sounds Excellent !

The artwork looks like Gotta Get a Grip.

solid tune. Simple riff made very sweet by how Rixh plays it. Overall sound is good. Classic Crowes blues rock tune, almost sounds like I heard it before. Its a weak single though. The pre-chorus should have been the chorus with the faster beat and the Chorus line isn't that catchy. I'm kind of over that type back up singing.

I agree. Fantastic track.

The first line of singing though, it sounds exactly like the first two lines of Jealous Again, melodically, no?

As I’ve posted on SHF, if the rest of the album is like this, tight songs with no extended meandering and jamming, I’ll be all over this!!

You HAVE heard it before I reckon. Jealous Again is the same vocal melody I reckon!

I was reading an interview with Rich Robinson the other day and I never realized that he plays a lot of his songs in Open G. No wonder why I love the Crowes so much!!!
