They’ll cover the following dates: August 22 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada; August 26 at Commonwealth Stadium in Edmonton, Alberta,... Continue Reading →
To be honest, I suck at introductions, especially for these yearly wrap-up posts, because it’s the same thing over and over again. We’ve survived another year, yay! What’s next? I’m not going to lie and say that 2024 was easier than 2023. I mean, financial-wise, it was easier because I had my state job to... Continue Reading →
It’s that time of year again, people! Spotify released their yearly wrap-ups of our music listening habits, simply titled, “Spotify Wrapped.” Like last year, the calculations aren’t entirely accurate because they came out in early December, more specifically December 4, 2024. Also, CD and vinyl listens weren’t included in the calculations. However, it’s always fun... 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 →
Coming up with my dream setlist for The Black Crowes was incredibly difficult. I pretty much knew the songs I wanted to include, but they already played most of them live, particularly on their Happiness Bastards tour (part one and two, aka The Reprise), because they love to spice up their shows by throwing in...

Today, November 1, 2024, is a special day because it marks the 30th anniversary of The Black Crowes’ Amorica album. It was released 30 years ago, can you believe it?!?! Everything about this album is perfect: the songs, the musicianship, the tracklist order, and even the album cover (you can fight me on that one)!... Continue Reading →
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 →
I can’t believe we’re over halfway done with April! This year is flying by fast. For those of you that haven’t read My Favorite Songs from Fall 2023, how this works is I’ll talk about my favorite songs from a particular season and in this case, I’ll be sharing my picks from Spring 2024. Most... Continue Reading →
I don't do music purchases blog posts often because as mentioned in my November 2023 Purchases blog post, all of my CDs are usually from Amazon. Thankfully, March was a special month because Judas Priest released Invincible Shield (2024) on March 8 and The Black Crowes put out Happiness Bastards (2024) on March 15, a... 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 →
