The Black Crowes reunion seems even more imminent as the band’s social media pages and website have been updated with new art.
In a similar fashion to the recent Oysterhead reunion, the new artwork (on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook) seems to be a tip that The Brothers Robinson have put their differences aside and will hit the road very soon. The artwork – which presumably shows cartoon crow versions of Rich and Chris Robinson – marks the first post on some of the Black Crowes social channels since 2013.
A few weeks ago, several sources close to the Crowes hinted to the Wall Street Journal that “there might be something in the works” in 2020.
Additionally, in a recent interview with Relix, Black Crowes drummer Steve Gorman said, “I think there’s a chance that the brothers will play together again. I would be astounded if they don’t, and I would imagine that it will happen sooner rather than later… However, I’m not gonna play with them for a variety of reasons. Number one: They’re never gonna ask me because I’m not coming back unless I get my equal share. Even if they were to ask me back, though, the chances of me saying yes are infinitesimal.”
This story is still developing…

October 31, 2019 at 6:08 amAs a drummer it will hurt not to see Gorman up there but with every line up they’ve had over the last 25+ years the Crows are one of the the best live bands in history. Nothing will change that and they will bring it HARD. Most bands are lucky to make 1 decent album. The boys can do it with their hands behind their backs

October 29, 2019 at 9:14 pmReally sucks that Gorman will not be a part of this as he is core member. His new book is awesome and give you the insight to this disfunct band. Chris just got 3rd divorce its a money grab for sure. To hear there interviews after breakup makes this a joke.

October 29, 2019 at 6:43 pmTBC are one of the best live bands ever! Just make sure Luther Dickinson is there so we can shake what are momma’s gave us!

October 29, 2019 at 6:12 pmRich and Chris are both worth about 10 million a piece so they aren’t destitute. I agree, back in the day, they were one of the best bands on the road. They were the real deal.

October 29, 2019 at 4:42 pmIf Gorman is out they better bring back Marc F’N Ford otherwise the sound just ain’t gonna jive. Marc, Ed and Steve were as a crucial part of that band as Chris and Rich. I’ve seen most of the band’s versions and not all of them have put on stellar performances. I love Audley as a guitar player but his style is not for the Crowes. That said if they can get Marc on board, I’m all in. If not they need to work out something with Steve.

October 29, 2019 at 5:02 pmLarry, I have a feeling that the band has already been selected & I think that chances are Ford will be in due to his involvement with Rich & MS (unless he just can’t take Chris anymore)…throw in Sven & Adam and we are close, although I think Gorman is unfortunately out…my guess would be Tony Leone (CRB, As the Crow Flies) on drums & Joe Magistro (MS) on percussion…

October 31, 2019 at 3:36 pmyeah, that’s kinda my thoughts too. I thought Leone was fairly mellow on ATCF tour but this is what happens when you get used to Gorman For Strength!

October 29, 2019 at 4:12 pmHey Sideshow, no offense to Dino as I haven’t seen DSO for some time (although I did catch them soundchecking ‘Dark Star’ at Red Rocks last month), but I have a long history with TBC that dates back to the early 90’s, saw MANY shows during their heyday & over their career, and $ for $ my favorite band ever when they were on, which was most nights, and Gorman takes a back seat to no one (although I love Russo, Fishman & Copeland)…plus, he has way more credibility than either Robinson brother IMO, was the only other pillar of the band and btw his book was great, read it in under 24 hours…

October 29, 2019 at 3:58 pmTBC is the GREATEST Amorican rock and roll band EVER. This is not A Conspiracy. They are just Wiser for the Time. Sometimes Salvation comes from Descending into Words you Throw Away. It aint a Thorn In My Pride to Remedy myself of any Bad Luck Blue Eyes Goodbyes and stop Kicking My Heart Around to admit Im giddy like Oh Josephine. You could Sting Me in Hotell Illness but I’m still going to the shows and getting some Head High Blues and do some Soul Singing! You better fall in and grab your tickets! or you’ll be Jealous Again when your Sister Luck runs out and you miss the STTA encore… you’ll be sitting there with Oh Sweet Nuthin, like a Cursed Diamond, and it will be Twice As Hard for you when the rest of us are on our Blackberry texting about how She Gave Good Sunflower! 2020 TBC Hindsight Tour!

October 29, 2019 at 3:32 pmBands don’t make money selling records anymore so they have to make money by touring.

October 29, 2019 at 2:38 pmThey were magical at LOCKN 2014.
Hope they return for 2020.

October 29, 2019 at 2:31 pmIf a band is charging people to attend their shows, they’re in it for the money. Why are people begrudging a band for trying to make a living? If you’re here, you like live music, right? Well, I have some news for you…the bands you like to see live are “in it for the money” also.

October 29, 2019 at 2:17 pmI actually saw the logo on a billboard on the highway this morning. I-91 North in Hartford, Connecticut. I’d say something is definitely going to happen if they’re spending that kind of money on promotion… teasers or not.

October 29, 2019 at 2:15 pmMaybe the sudden passing of Neal Casal has softened old Chris into realizing life is too damn short, especially with family.

Let’s be real here. Band go through transfigurations. They change. Chris and Rich Robinson are the constants that define the Black Crowes. The other parts are interchangeable.
No Chris. No crowes. No Rich. No crowes. Otherwise they have every right to bill themselves as the Crowes and go make money. I bet they put on a pretty good show.

Interns: this is simply the Crowes logo. No need to presume anything. Understandable that you weren’t born when this was drawn, but jfc its just a post of the logo.

October 28, 2019 at 9:34 pmFUCK the Crows! Like they are a band that deserves such a build up!
Heyspeed
October 29, 2019 at 3:11 pmTenn Jed – you must be young. They were the real deal for a while in the 90s. One of the last rocks bands. Chris wanted to be a hippie so he steered them that way and the jam crowd accepted them a little. It will be a show to remember. Trust me.
Adam
October 28, 2019 at 5:59 pmI saw them in 2013 and the show was great. I’ll go again. I dont care if they do it for the money. I’m pretty sure most tours are done for the money. And I could care less who is on drums.
