Published one year after his death, the book details Watts’ life from beginning to end, and it features forewords by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. No offense to the band... Continue Reading →
When The Black Crowes began their initial run of Happiness Bastards tour dates in April 2024, I watched them like a hawk. You know, checked out the setlists, made sure everything was running smoothly, and prayed they would eventually bring the Happiness Bastards tour to Las Vegas. Lo and behold, they announced a second run... Continue Reading →
Not long after I bought tickets for the Iron Maiden show at the Michelob ULTRA Arena, in Mandalay Bay, Rival Sons posted on their social media that they were coming back to Las Vegas for their Two-Headed Beast tour with stoner rock band Clutch. Perfectly enough, the Iron Maiden show and Rival Sons show were... Continue Reading →
Today marks the 20th anniversary of Black Crowes guitarist Rich Robinson’s first solo album, Paper. It was released on August 24, 2004. This was an important album for Rich because at the time, The Black Crowes were on their first hiatus. It could be argued that he was constantly in the shadow of his older... Continue Reading →
Haters can say all they want about AC/DC. Their music is boring. They’ve made the same album 17 times (or however many studio albums they have). They’re devil worshipers and all that nonsense.

Today, May 24, is guitarist Rich Robinson’s 55th birthday and man, he’s lived quite a life! He co-founded southern rock / blues rock band The Black Crowes with his older brother, Chris Robinson, back in 1984 under the name, Mr. Crowe’s Garden. Rich was only 17 when he wrote the music for the now iconic... Continue Reading →
Think back to 2015, when The Black Crowes called it quits for supposedly the final time. Who knew we would get another studio album from these guys? I’m not even sure if the Robinson brothers knew they’d release a new record in 2024. But you know what, props to them for putting their issues behind... Continue Reading →
Not going to lie, my first exposure to Free was through American Idol, when David Cook performed “All Right Now” during the semi-finals of season seven; I was 9 years old back then. To this day, it’s still one of my favorite performances from the show. “All Right Now” is a classic, for a reason,... Continue Reading →
After my Disney College Program ended, I was unemployed, so I had a lot of free time on my hands. While everyone was working, I had to stay home and look after my dog, Roxy. Of course, I ended up watching YouTube all day and I’d be lying if I said that my watch history... Continue Reading →
This post was inspired by two things. One, The Black Crowes recently announced their ninth studio album of original material titled, Happiness Bastards, which will be released on March 15, 2024. Two, Sea of Tranquility posted a video last week titled, “The UK Connection-Turn That S*#t Off!,” where Pete talked about how he tried numerous... Continue Reading →
