THE BLACK CROWES: 25 Anys De Corbs Negres It's only rock & roll | Pep Saña | Actualitzat el 16/03/2016 a les 00:01 THE BLACK CROWES: 25 Anys de Corbs Negres The Black Crowes és una banda imprescindible a la història del rock. Son uns clàssics, amb una trajectòria i un estil de vida que es correspon amb les grans llegendes rockeres dels anys 70 (Led Zeppelin, Grand Funk, Deep Purple, Aerosmith, etc.), amb un currículum extens, que com tota banda durant la seva carrera, te els seus alts i baixos, però sempre amb un elevat nivell de qualitat, oferint concerts memorables i un únic interès, la MÚSICA, així amb majúscules. Shake Your Money Maker (1990) https://www.naciodigital.cat/bergueda/noticia/5165/black-crowes-25-anys-corbs-negres Pagina 1 de 10 Transcorria l'any 1990 i The Black Crowes, originalment anomenats Mr. Crowe's Garden, sorprenen al món amb Shake Your Money Maker, un disc que bevia de fonts com Allman Brothers, Free, Faces i tota la tradició del rock americà. En aquells anys, la banda dels germans Robinson ja despunta amb covers en directe de cançons d'arrel més americana. La veu de Chris Robinson es posiciona com una de les més aclamades en el panorama del rock'n'roll. Com un noi blanc i tant poca cosa podia treure aquesta veu tan negra?. Shake Your Money Maker (1990), era presentat amb el single Jealous Again, un tema fantàstic que recordava al genuí so Stones i que era un contagiós ritme boogie amb aroma honky tonk. Aquesta herència dels Stones i Faces es va veure amplificada amb una excel·lent versió del tema d'Otis Redding Hard To Handle que recollia tot el feeling de la cançó del mític soulman, actualitzant el seu so i transportant-lo a una nova generació, un tema que va servir per aconseguir excel·lents vendes i aparèixer als llocs més alts a les llistes rock del Billboard. L'àlbum a més, sumava la participació als teclats del membre dels Allman Brothers i col·laborador dels Stones, Chuck Leavell, i també aconseguiria resultats comercials importants (número 4), confirmant que la seva música aferrada al rock d'arrels continuava atraient a milers de persones a tot el món. She Talks To Angels, una balada acústica que narrava una història d'addicció a les drogues i el tema que obre l'àlbum, Twice As Hard, tall rocker d'herència Led Zeppelin, són unes altres de les peces més destacades d'aquest primer àlbum.

La pregunta era si podrien mantenir el nivell del seu debut. Doncs bé, The Southern Harmony And Musical Companion no nomes igualava al Shake Your Money Maker sinó que anava dos o tres passos més enllà, mostrant ja a una banda en plena maduresa, amb un creixement musical vertiginós, ampliant la seva paleta de sons i guanyant enormement en matisos i subtilesa, tot i que el so del disc segueix en la línea del southern rock, el disc connecta amb el rock dels 70 que podrien haver facturat Led Zeppelin o Jimi Hendrix. En aquest àlbum, la banda va canviar de guitarrista, abandonant Cease i incorporant- se a la formació el guitarra Marc Ford i el teclista Eddie Harsch, que van ajudar, amb l'afegit d'uns cors femenins a enriquir el conjunt del disc. Va arribar al número 1 al Billboard, amb talls del seu substancial southern rock i peces que fusionen rock, blues, soul, country, com a la fantàstica Remedy, les meravelloses balades Thorn In My Pride, Sometimes Salvation i Bad Luck Blue Eyes Goodbye, o Sting Me, amb el gloriós acompanyament soulero de les veus femenines. Amb aquest àlbum els Black Crowes es van erigir com un dels grups capdavanters del rock'n'roll de començaments de dècada gràcies al seu vibrant so i el seu contundent directe amb moments per a llargues jam. The Black Crowes - Remedy V?deo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Us14kEW0PM https://www.naciodigital.cat/bergueda/noticia/5165/black-crowes-25-anys-corbs-negres Pagina 3 de 10 The Black Crowes - Sting Me V?deo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GTRqG62Q_E The Black Crowes - Thorn in my Pride V?deo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2zqYC8xKwM The Black Crowes - Sometimes Salvation V?deo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPzJWd-PJ48 The Black Crowes - Bad Luck Blue Eyes Goodbye V?deo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51ktQIcCbiM Amorica (1994) A part dels èxits d'estudi, Black Crowes van aconseguir aviat fama per altres dos motius: El seu impressionant saber fer en el directe, basant els shows en improvisades relectures dels seus temes, que allargaven i convertien en jams a l'estil de les mítiques bandes de southern rock, i el seu difícil caràcter. El cantant Chris Robinson, sobretot, es va guanyar una fama de borde, prepotent i boques que el perseguiria durant els anys següents. Chris mirava al seu al voltant i no veia a ningú capaç d'igualar-lo en talent, en nivell, en coneixements sobre la música dels Estats Units, i no es tallava un pèl a mirar a tota la gent del negoci per sobre de l'ombro (ja al 1991 en un tour talonejant a ZZ Top havia criticat en plena actuació el que considerava la mercantilització del rock, unes paraules que no van agradar gens als patrocinadors de la gira i van ser convidats a abandonar el tour). Convençudíssims de que estaven donant els passos correctes, ell i el seu germà menor Rich es van retirar de la circulació i van dedicar gairebé tres anys a compondre https://www.naciodigital.cat/bergueda/noticia/5165/black-crowes-25-anys-corbs-negres Pagina 4 de 10 Amorica. No buscaven arrasar amb impactants versions de clàssics del Soul com havien fet amb Hard To Handle, ni sentien la necessitat de coronar les llistes d'èxits amb un refregit d'un Remedy descafeïnat, i al 1994 van tornar a l'actualitat amb un disc en que la seva portada era una suggerent model que posava amb un bikini de la bandera americana un parell de talles menys de l'adequada i que ensenyava el pel de pubis femení, fet que va desencadenar una forta polèmica. Amorica tornava a incidir en la musica d'arrels i especialment en els sons dels Stones i Faces, que hi son presents al llarg de tot el disc, però amb una clara tendència cap a un so més psicodèlic. Gone, iniciat amb una percussió llatina que rememora els inicis del Sympathy For The Devil per atacar desprès amb un riff de guitarra i una veu genuïnament soul, el country rock de Wiser Time, el penetrant riff de A Conspiracy o l'excel·lent She Gave Good Sunflowers, una joia amb una absorbent sinergia entre tots els instruments, especialment les guitarres i el teclat. The Black Crowes - Wiser Time V?deo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25OLEe86Hx4 The Black Crowes - She Gave Good Sunflower V?deo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFmnjpjHPnQ The Black Crowes - A Conspiracy V?deo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djo4gfXaXZg Three Snakes And One Charm (1996), venint de tres discos antològics era complicadíssim aguantar el nivell, tot i que ni s'acosta a la categoria d'un bon disc, tampoc es que sigui infumable, i ha quedat marcat com un disc maleït. El quart treball de la banda va tenir una baixada important de vendes i va conduir-los a un mercat més modest. Va ser també l'obra menys rellevant artísticament que havien fet fins aquell moment, suposa un nou aterratge del so de la banda. Com ells mateixos dirien, ?si Amorica era un dissabte a la nit, aquest àlbum era un diumenge al matí?. Un nou gir, i una persistència d'aquest aire psicodèlic que ja no abandonarà la banda. Alguns dels millors temes són la balada Good Friday o Blackberry. Després d'aquest àlbum, el guitarra Marc Ford, part molt important a l'èxit del seu so, seria acomiadat del grup pel seu excessiu consum de drogues. Un any més tard el que va deixar el grup va ser el baixista Johnny Colt. By Your Side (1999) https://www.naciodigital.cat/bergueda/noticia/5165/black-crowes-25-anys-corbs-negres Pagina 5 de 10 By Your Side, es un disc que podria considerar-se com un renaixement de la banda, o més aviat una tornada a casa amb els deures fets, no enganyava, buscava desesperadament allunyar-se d'experiments i divertir. Sense cap mena de dubte que ho va aconseguir. Es pot afirmar que es un Shake Your Money Maker millorat, amb un so exquisit, i les incorporacions de Sven Pipien (baix) i Audley Freed (guitarra). La tornada al rock'n'roll clàssic, al so Led Zeppelin i al soul és clara, un espai en el que els germans Robinson deixen clar que són uns autèntics mestres. By Your Side té un dels començaments més trepidants de la banda amb el tema Go Faster, que es completa amb joies com Only A Fool, Kickin' My Heart Around o By Your Side.

  • Gathering of the Vibes 2008 Chad Berndtson July 29, 2008 Having
    Preview: Gathering of the Vibes 2008 Chad Berndtson July 29, 2008 Having recently finished an enterprise feature for another publication on the glut of national music festivals and what role that glut creates for regional festivals with a lot more personality, I’m more excited this year for the Gathering of the Vibes than I have been in quite some time. As the man said, “He’d have to be one charming motherfuckin pig”…er, sorry, “Personality goes a long way.” Compared to the Roo- and Coachella-sized behemoths, and a lot of the sexy new kids with names both playful and official-sounding—Rothbury might be a bit of both, and allegedly, it was quite the time—the Vibes is a creakier, more elegant dinosaur. A glorious, humble triceratops of a festival, yes, secure in its size, pleasant in its modest ambition and its abilities, not ostentatious, and kindly manageable. And damn isn’t it great to have it back in New England proper (it returned in 2007 after several years of renovation to Bridgeport’s Seaside Park and a few years at various upstate New York locales)? For this born/bred New Englander, it’s not only in a New England/Tri-State area happy medium, but it fills a still-felt void left by the big Phish festivals of yore and especially the can’t-believe-it’s-been-five-years-now departed Berkshire Mountain Music Festival (1997-2003). (For Berkfest alums from those heady days, monsoon conditions and all, have a scoop of nostalgia on the house) The Vibes doesn’t have the gaudy cache of some festivals, or some of the nationally dazzling headliners.

  • SHAKE YOUR FAITH Diamond Day Records Is Very Excited to Announce the Release of the Steepwater Band’S 6Th Full-Length Studio Album SHAKE YOUR FAITH
    THE STEEPWATER BAND : SHAKE YOUR FAITH Diamond Day Records is very excited to announce the release of The Steepwater Band’s 6th full-length studio album SHAKE YOUR FAITH. The LP features 11 brand new TSB tracks, and is slated for release on Friday, April 1st via Double 180 Gram Vinyl, Compact Disc and Digital Download. The album was recorded last winter at Crushtone Studios, in the shadows of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, in Cleveland, Ohio. Shake Your Faith was produced by the band along with seasoned rock studio veteran Jim Wirt, who has also worked with the likes of Fiona Apple, Incubus and the Buffalo Killers. As with most TSB albums, the sound and songwriting on Shake Your Faith has grown and expanded, yet retained the true nature of the band. It’s the first TSB studio record in over 4 years and the first to include “new” guitarist Eric Saylors. "SHAKE YOUR FAITH is a stomping, seductive cry that real rock 'n' roll is alive and well in a band with the swagger, justified confidence, and badass tunes of a modern classic, a collection with all the heart and hips of 70s Stones and serious competition to contemporaries like The Black Keys, Ben Harper, and Jack White." - Dennis Cook {Dirty Impound} • Their song “Dance Me a Number” from Revelation Sunday receives nearly 10,000 spins on Pandora daily, on such channels as The Black Keys, Alabama Shakes, White Stripes, Led Zeppelin, and more. • Their 2010 single The Stars Look Good Tonight reached # 109 on the Triple A radio charts and it was featured during the June 29, 2010, WGN-TV (nationally syndicated) broadcast of the Chicago Cubs Major League Baseball game.
