Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Black Crowes drummer and cofounder Steve Gorman shares the band's inside story in this behindthescenes biography, from their supernova stardom in the '90s to exhilarating encounters with industry legends.For more than two decades, the Black Crowes topped the charts and reigned supreme over the radio waves, even as hair bands, grunge, and hiphop threatened to dethrone them. With hits like 'Hard to Handle,' 'She Talks to Angels,' and 'Remedy,' their massive success launched them to stardom in the early '90s, earning them a place among rock royalty. They were on the cover of Rolling Stone, MTV played their videos 24/7, and Generation X rediscovered the power of classic rock and blues by digging into multiplatinum classics like Shake Your Money Maker and The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion.But stardom can be fleeting. For the Black Crowes, success slowly dwindled as the band members got caught up in the rock star world and lost sight of their musical ambition. Despite the drinking, drugs, and incessant fighting between Chris and Rich Robinson the angriest brothers in rock and roll, with all due respect to Oasis and the Kinks the band continued to tour until 2013. On any given night, they could be the best band you ever saw (or the most combative). Then, one last rift caused by Chris Robinson proved insurmountable for the band to survive. After that, the Black Crowes would fly no more.Founding member Steve Gorman was there for all of it the coke and weedfueled tours; the tumultuous recording sessions; the backstage hangs with legends like Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, and the Rolling Stones. As the band's drummer and voice of reason, he tried to keep the Black Crowes together musically and emotionally. In Hard To Handle the first account of this great American rock band's beginning, middle, and end Gorman explains just how impossible that job was with great insight, candor, and humor. They don't make bands like the Black Crowes anymore: crazy, brilliant, selfdestructive, inspiring, and, ultimately, not built to last. But, man, what a ride it was while it lasted.
