YES! The original performer of this song was Otis Redding! You should go back and check that one out. It's a little more soulful, but still feels great. Enjoy!
As a college radio DJ for U of Vermont when it first came out, I played the vinyl. It was my first radio show, and I played songs from the album at 4am Saturday night. WRUV, 50,000 watts. My air name was Mr Mood.
I agree with you totally Biz. As a girl who loves 60/70's rock, these guys would fit right in - they rock. The two bands that remind me of the old school rockers are Black Crowes and Rival Sons - another current band definitely worth checking out. I read a memoir by the drummer, Steve Gorman called "Hard to Handle". It seems the title says it all. Even though I love his energy, it seems that singer Chris Robinson drove everybody around him crazy and there was alot of fighting, especially between Chris and his poor put upon brother. Too bad, cause they really got it together when they performed.
Their most popular rocking song by far, but I've got two IMO that are better: "Twice As Hard" and "Jealous Again". "She Talks To Angels" is an excellent ballad. All worth checking out, if you haven't already.
I grew up in the 60's and yes they would have fit right in. Another band to check out if you like new older style rock is a rock duo called Crown Lands. They are Canadian. Cheers 🇨🇦
Otis Redding song. This cover is fantastic. One of the songs that put the Crowes on the map. Grateful Dead also did a great cover of this sung by Pigpen!
Chris Robinson singer for The Black Crowes and Jeff Keith the singer from Tesla always reminded me of each other. The Black Crowes being more bluesy and Tesla being more metal 🤘
Bro, that didnt take you long to hit some more Crowes LOL. Also Biz, this is just another track from their debut album i was telling you about. There are debut albums,, and then there are HISTORICAL debut albums ( like Van Halen's, Boston's, Guns n Roses to name a few. AND the Black Crowes). Biz, even if you dont do a reaction to it, you got to go check it out. Like i mentioned to you on the last Crowes song, with ALL the great music going on at this time, the Blk Crowes debut album still reached #4 ( it had FIVE singles that charted, including 2 of them that hit #!).
Otis Redding sang the original, but they sped it up a little and added some heavy guitars to give it a little more rock n roll flavor. I like both versions pretty well.
I had a college roommate that was in their high school age band as a rhythm guitarist. He ended up leaving after hs and joining the Air Force. He missed that rocket ship!
If you want to see a band from the 70's that is an OBVIOUS straight up influence on the Black Crowes, check out the band Faces with Rod Stewart on lead vocal.
The guitar solo is performed by Brendan O Brien the recording tech. Jeff Cease was not able to play this solo. He was soon replaced by Marc Ford, and they got a great player in him.
Another banger! Best concert I’ve ever saw. Was these guys opening for Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers nearly 20 years ago. The whole album Shake Your Money Maker is awesome, twice as hard is my favorite. Unrelated but you may want to check out lovers in a dangerous Time by Bruce Cockburn.
He did "Remedy" a couple months ago... it was a conundrum. He loved the song, but the video/Chris' moves and the wardrobe were a bit distracting for him! lol!! Here's his reaction. Brace yourself for Biz's commentary!🤣😂🤣 th-cam.com/video/wcabNREJ5AE/w-d-xo.html
Followed my advice I see, just go ahead and do the whole album. Their follow up, Southern Harmony and Musical Companion is like a slow jam follow up. Its solid, but slower.

Never knew this ty!

The 2 main band members are brothers, the singer and guitarist, and they're back out on the road! Great, great band.

I totally agree with you. As cool as Hard to Handle is, the other two are even better.
Black Crowes made a live album with Jimmy Page. Fun band. Nice reaction.
YAY!! Dance around now!
This one of my fav bands and they are highly underrated.
Yes, you should play Otis Redding recorded and wrote "Hard To Handle" in the 1960's.
yeah. reminds me of old skool. you could swear they came from 60's-7 0's. they got back what was all lost. i gave up after the early 70's.
Another favorite !
A truly fantastic cover. An exciting and lively version!
I grew up in the 60's and yes they would have fit right in. Another band to check out if you like new older style rock is a rock duo called Crown Lands. They are Canadian.
Cheers 🇨🇦
Good ol’ Georgia boys. Love ‘em.
Yes it was that's what I had been waiting on and there they were in the 90syes Otis Redding has his own version 🎶
Love this song! Thanks for a great review! ☮️❤️😎
Great pick Biz
🤘🏿🤘🏿
Otis Redding song. This cover is fantastic. One of the songs that put the Crowes on the map. Grateful Dead also did a great cover of this sung by Pigpen!
Check out Hotel Illness from their second album, The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion.

Another great one, Biz! What a night!
💪🏿
One if my faves!
You struck gold again

"Jealous Again" is some of that good bar music. Turned waaay up and singing the chorus in any joint.
This is a cover of the Otis Redding song, which is also worth checking out totally different vibe from this version.
Otis Redding sang the original, but they sped it up a little and added some heavy guitars to give it a little more rock n roll flavor. I like both versions pretty well.
Favorite Crows song
Try "Thorn in My Pride". Great stuff from the 2nd album...their best imo.
They were supposed to be on tour opening for Aerosmith on their farewell tour but it's been postponed because of Steven Tyler health issues
I had a college roommate that was in their high school age band as a rhythm guitarist. He ended up leaving after hs and joining the Air Force. He missed that rocket ship!
Guess it wasn’t meant to be
You need to check out their track Descending. Really underrated song.
Great song I heard this song by Otis Redding, it's from 1968
If you want to see a band from the 70's that is an OBVIOUS straight up influence on the Black Crowes, check out the band Faces with Rod Stewart on lead vocal.
That is Chuck Levell on piano on this one, he plays a lot of piano for the Rolling Stones.
The guitar solo is performed by Brendan O Brien the recording tech. Jeff Cease was not able to play this solo. He was soon replaced by Marc Ford, and they got a great player in him.
The Singer and the lead guitar player are brothers and brothers fight. thats what happened to the Band.
😂Good one
One of the rare cases where a cover is better than the original
Thorn in My Pride

You got to do Remedy Biz
He did "Remedy" a couple months ago... it was a conundrum. He loved the song, but the video/Chris' moves and the wardrobe were a bit distracting for him! lol!! Here's his reaction. Brace yourself for Biz's commentary!🤣😂🤣 th-cam.com/video/wcabNREJ5AE/w-d-xo.html
I did
Good cover of an Otis Redding song, you should react to the original.
I didn’t know Otis Redding wrote this
Followed my advice I see, just go ahead and do the whole album. Their follow up, Southern Harmony and Musical Companion is like a slow jam follow up. Its solid, but slower.
Ok I’ve wondered long enough… What’s the difference between the “fam” and “family”?
lol important question! I need to ponder on it for several more moons, ask again later. I appreciate your inquiry. 😂
🤣😂🤣 Good one! lol!!!
@@watchbizmatik 😂 Love your response!! Thanks for the giggles!!🙃
lol 😂
That's Otis's song.
Remake of Otis Redding
Next…Jealous Again.
Same old R&R bullshit with this band Brothers fighting jealousy drugs...
🙄Pathetic. Search yourself. Peace and light💞💞
I realize I say this a lot, but just listen to the whole album Biz! It's a great album and the first two are flawless the first two albums. Peace!
lol I will I just gotta do the songs with y’all first
Oh I got you man! I have faith in you brother!
Mr Kate Hudson 🙂
