I love the Black Crowes. For the most part, they have represented, to me, what is great about real, raw Rock and Roll for the better part of 15 years now. They've had some foul balls along the way, but these guys do what they do really well and they just get the essence of great rock and roll; great riffs, loud guitars, and a great front man (not to mention a brilliant drummer in Steve Gorman).
One of my biggest disappointments was not getting to see them as they toured with Jimmy Page in 1999. I had fourth row seats to the Tampa show and that leg of the tour was canceled after Jimmy injured his back. I stumbled across this video of Jimmy and the Crowes kicking "In My Time of Dying". Being a big Zeppelin fan, I don't say lightly that the Crowes do justice to Zep's great songs. Do yourself a favor and take about 10 minutes to listen to great rock and roll (you can listen and watch a second time and marvel at the ridiculous drumming of Gorman too).
