One of the most unoriginal bands that has ever existed IMO- from to the way they steal other bands riffs, to the way they dress, to the way the singer poses.
Sure there's a few decent/listenable tunes, but generally I see them as the precursor to retro-ripoff bands such as Wolfmother, The Darkness, and Greta Van Fleet, etc.

I really like Wolfmother’s first record. The use of keys and synths really added a different dimension to their work vs. maybe a GVF. Then the band quit on the singer and they haven’t been nearly as appealing to me. I think the original keyboard/bass player really added a lot.

I was thinking the same thing. The debut album was very good. The rest is mediocre, imo. The organ/keyboards was important to their sound.

Like coffeepotman, I also saw them live with Oasis during The Tour of Brotherly Love back in 2001 at the Santa Barbara Bowl.
But unlike what coffeepotman thought, no way did the black Crowes blow Oasis off the stage - in fact they both sucked!
The Black Crowes were obnoxiously loud w/ a horrible nauseating mix, and Oasis were simply a far cry from their heyday w/replacement members and a horrible new album.

It's actually a b-side of shake your moneymaker but however it's a great song IMO. It's got something of Rod Stewarts' Hot Legs

I got the first album too, Shake Your Money Maker, and I liked it a lot at the time -- still do! But I could never understand how they maintained a following after that, I was lost after Southern Harmony myself.

You mean like the Stones trying to be bluesmen and Chuck Berry, lifting Berry's riffs and an old gospel song called "The Last Time"?
There's nothing new under the sun!

Not quite. The Stones came out at a time when most of that material was unheard of to the general masses,
and they introduced these "new" styles of music to millions of people around the world helping to change the shape of rock and roll in the process.
The Black Crowes on the other hand basically regurgitated stuff that everyone already knew (same with Greta Van Fleet, et al), and did nothing to advance music.
