THE BLACK CROWES

The Black Crowes are an American rock band formed in Atlanta, Georgia, in 1984. Their discography includes ten studio albums, four live albums, and several charting singles. The band was signed to Def American Recordings in 1989 by producer George Drakoulias and released their debut album, Shake Your Money Maker, in 1990. Their second album, The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion, reached the top of the Billboard 200 in 1992. Subsequent albums include Amorica (1994), Three Snakes and One Charm (1996), By Your Side (1999), and Lions (2001), with each showing moderate popularity but not matching the chart success of their first two albums. The band experienced a hiatus from 2002 to 2005, after which they regrouped and toured for several years. In 2008, they released Warpaint, which reached number 5 on the Billboard chart. Following the release of Croweology, a greatest hits and acoustic double album, in 2010, they embarked on a 20th anniversary tour before entering another hiatus. The band toured in 2013, then announced another breakup in 2015. They reformed in late 2019 to announce a 2020 tour in support of the 30th anniversary of Shake Your Money Maker.
