Episode 100! The Black Crowes: Shake Your Money Maker

Get ready to strut down memory lane as we crank up the volume on the Black Crowes' timeless debut with "Shake Your Money Maker." Chris and I, along with the comedic genius of “Ben Stiller” and  “Sol Rosenberg”, dance through the hits and uncover the hidden treasures within this rock masterpiece. Feel the nostalgia as we chat about the cultural oddity of an Atlanta band steeped in British blues, and prepare to be entertained by our unexpected musical mashup that’s as fun as it is unlikely.

Step into the shoes of rock royalty with special guest Joe Pesci, who adds a touch of Hollywood's sparkle to our musings on the Black Crowes' legendary tracks. We'll tackle everything from the raw emotion in "She Talks to Angels" to the fiery energy of "Hard to Handle," all while exploring the Robinson brothers' unique creative chemistry. Our laughter echoes through candid discussions about rock video nuances, the intensity of drummers, and the unshakable spirit of the Black Crowes that continue to captivate fans old and new.

Wrap up your rock 'n' roll journey with a lively debate on the great butter conundrum—counter or fridge—and indulge in our personal playlist picks, spotlighting songs like "Stare It Cold" and "Sister Luck." We'll wrap things up by tipping our hats to the authenticity and influence of the Black Crowes' sound that has eternally woven its way into the fabric of rock music. This episode isn't just a podcast; it's a tribute to the enduring allure of rhythm, riffs, and the rebels who make them.

Speaker 1 0:08

I can't give you what you want, but you got to go home with me. I forgot some good old lovin' and I got this song in store when I get through throwin' it on you. You got to come back for more Boys and things will come by the dozen, but that ain't nothing but first-old lovin'. Pretty little thing livin' like the count called Mama I'm so hard to hell with now and yet surround All right, thank you for listening to the Greatest Nine Hits.

Speaker 3 0:51

I'm Chris and playing twice as hard on the acoustic there is my co-host, tim, and that's from the Black Rose Shaker Moneymaker from 1990, and thank you for listening with us today. We're gonna, as always, listen through all the songs on that album. There's a number of hits that we've all heard a bunch of times, that are awesome songs on this album, and but what we're gonna do is just spend a little bit of time at the end of the show to rank our top three non-hits and there are a few. There's two of them I know are gonna be one and two.

Speaker 3 1:29

I'm not exactly sure what number three is gonna be, Tim probably doesn't know his either, but nevertheless, we're gonna do that with you today and have some fun on the way. We're gonna have some special guests. I think Ben Stiller is gonna be with us. There's gonna be Saul Rosenberg from the Jerky Boys. He's gonna make an appearance here and there. We've got a bunch of other cast and characters. I think the announcer for the LA Angels is gonna join us as well. So we're gonna have a good time. But first let's talk a little.

Speaker 3 2:07

Black Rose. This is a band that this is their debut album and, like I said, 1990 was the year that came out on Deaf American Recordings. This was a record label of Rick Rubens, and there's this Greek guy, steve Drakulius, who signed them to George Drakulius, my apologies. 1988 saw the band when they did a show in New York City, signed them to that record label and they changed their name. They were like Mr Crow or something. I can't remember the name. We'll come up with it later on but they changed their name to the Black Crows at that point in time.

Speaker 3 2:52

They had some recording sessions in the summer of 89 in Atlanta and in LA. I know they were in New York but I guess they did some of the tracks in those two places. Could I have been so blind? And she talks to Angels, where a couple of the first two recordings Rich Robinson, the guitar player, was only 17 years old at the time. He's Chris Robinson's younger brother who was lead singer. The band is from Atlanta and shout out to Walton High School, shout out to my buddy, lance, who went to high school with them. There are a lot of bands coming out of Atlanta at that time. There's Collective Soul, which we did last week. I think the drummer of a couple of the songs is the drummer from Driving and Crying. His name escapes me right now, but I know that there's a lot of ties to a lot of other bands that made it big around that time.

Speaker 3 3:59

With that being the case, they took off from there. Of course, the big singles and hits from this album are hard to handle. Twice is hard Jealous again, she talks to Angels is probably the biggest of the songs. And then Seeing Things was listed as a single. I don't get the popularity of those other four songs did, but okay, fine, we'll call that a non-hit or we'll call it a hit. Let's call Seeing Things a hit and then the rest of them will discuss. We'll talk amongst ourselves. So anyway, with regard to this, in the intro, of course that was Otis Redding. He's the one who wrote Hard to Handle, which is one of their biggest songs.

Speaker 3 4:53

Tim and I were discussing how I actually my opinion was. I thought it was very ironic I think he agrees with this that a band from Atlanta, georgia, where you know, in around this area, is really where the blues sort of took hold and a lot of these songs were written in the deep south. And it's ironic that they moved to or, I guess you know, travel to New York to do shows and are convinced by their record label to write or, I guess, perform an Otis Redding cover. But also, chuck LaVell was the keyboardist who also played with the Rolling Stones Incredible keyboardist was on this album. We found it very ironic that that's where they learned the blues, because they were something other than that prior to the time that they got signed. So I still think it's a great album.

Speaker 3 5:53

I think they're still great performers. I still think that they possess a lot of originality. I think it's a good point to bring up that. Maybe it's a little inauthentic, if you could have a criticism. Yeah, since they are from the south, but they really learned from the Rolling Stones, the Faces these were bands that the record label really wanted to expose them to in emulator and you know, being British bands or something. It's great how they adopted a blues sound from the previous decade or so. But a band from Atlanta getting their chops and learning the blues from the English Well, yeah, tim can weigh it on.

Speaker 3 6:43

Nevertheless, I'm still a huge fan and this was an album that really resonated with me when I was in college and I was went to college not far from where they're from and so I feel like I was kind of there at the time and so it's interesting, even though I was in a band like the Black Rose, when I'm in the deep south it just sounds better, but it's all good, all right. So Tim's going to join me and he's going to give his thoughts. We want to thank all of you for listening. Continue to download us and subscribe, like whenever you download our podcasts. Tim is with me. Tim buddy, how you doing, man?

Speaker 6 7:43

Oh, this chair is hard to handle. What's going on over here? What's going on?

Speaker 3 7:51

Well, it's twice as hard.

Speaker 2 7:53

It is. That's why it's hard to handle.

Speaker 6 7:57

Oh my gosh, we're here, we're doing it. This is, you know, this band I could have sworn hard to handle was their song growing up, which is just like one of those things is why. How come, I don't know that.

Speaker 3 8:13

Yeah, Otis Redding. That was his, that was the open with the original thing. I just thought it might be kind of a way to set the stage, that it went from him to the faces, to the rolling stones and then finally to these guys. It's pretty crazy.

Musical Conversation With Joe Pesci

Speaker 6 8:36

It's pretty crazy. I mean we. It's full circle. You just go around and around and around and around, and it's one of those things. It's across the pond, you know, over to the pond. Again and again we cycle through and yeah. It's it music and zest, if you, if you will, I don't know. I mean, these guys are in touch with their feelings. This one song, she walks with angels was written. What a 15. Oh yeah.

Speaker 3 9:17

I think she talks to angels and hard to handle. Should have a baby together. Yeah, yes and then it'll be like strutting blues or something.

Speaker 6 9:24

Yes, it will be, yeah.

Oh, we got here, I went to the Empire State Building and I can't see so good.

Yeah, there's something. This makes a lot more sense when you're actually down south and you're feeling the heat and when you're out near the beach or near the water and. Yeah, you're trying to make the best out of a bad situation, partying with your friends, yeah.

Speaker 6 52:42

Discussing Butter and Favorite Songs

Speaker 3 53:24

Yeah, but you make a difference. You guys are slinging.

Speaker 6 53:29

Freon, all over town Slinging Freon. You know I'm not a part of the mayonnaise police. Yeah, we're not here to. I can stay on the counter for a little bit. Yeah, we keep butter on the counter, do you?

Speaker 7 53:45

Are you a?

Speaker 6 53:45

counter-butter Only place for it. All right, not in the summer.

Speaker 3 53:52

It belongs right next to the chamomile Chamomile.

Speaker 6 53:55

No, it doesn't.

Speaker 3 53:58

Chamomile should be in a dark place. The butter could be anywhere.

Speaker 6 54:02

Well, I'm gonna wrap up that butter.

Speaker 3 54:10

Did you want to put a little roasted garlic in it before? Can we mix it up? Oh, like a combo? Yeah, I would just give it a nice little wave, a little parsley, yeah, or slather it onto, or smear it onto French bread and make a little.

Speaker 6 54:26

Oh man, make a little. Yeah, garlic bread. You're getting fancy on me here.

Speaker 3 54:34

Well, that's what the pros do. That's all I'm saying.

Speaker 6 54:38

Well, you gotta get your carry-cow to leave from temperature, can't?

Speaker 3 54:41

believe it's not butter. Yeah, you put a bulb of garlic in the oven for about an hour. When it's nice and bubbly, you put it into the butter, you whip it up, mix it up, you've got garlic butter, you can put it on anything.

Speaker 6 54:55

I like to go over other people's houses and judge and play the game called. I can't believe it's not carry-gold. Yeah, that's, and when it's just regular butter it's worth it. It's not snobbish, it's not carry-gold. What is this? Yes, land-o.

Speaker 3 55:15

Bakes Land-O, land-o, get the fuck out.

Speaker 7 55:20

This ain't one of your fucking games, goddamn it how much chemicals are in this butter.

Speaker 3 55:27

Yeah.

Speaker 6 55:28

And why is it lukewarm? You've got to be honest with me.

Speaker 3 55:32

I'm not even eating butter. I like ketchup cold though.

Speaker 6 55:36

Yeah, a lot of times in restaurants they're room temp and I'm like I get that there's a lot of hydrogenated corn oil in this, but I like it cold. I want to stare at it. I want to be up and make it cold.

Speaker 3 55:57

Yeah, I'm not going to catch up anymore.

Speaker 6 56:01

I'm on Kramer's diet.

Speaker 3 56:02

I'm just doing all the whole foods.

Speaker 6 56:03

It grows up into the ground and I eat it right there. Oh yeah, and you wash vegetables in your shower.

Speaker 3 56:10

I'm not doing that, though.

Speaker 6 56:12

That sounded good, all right.

Speaker 3 56:16

That was it.

Speaker 6 56:18

Wow, we did it what are you thinking, man, the Raga songs got me the new wave 90s Raga. Okay, so we got the hits.

Speaker 3 56:34

Twice as hard. She Alice again Seeing Things and she talks to angels.

Speaker 6 56:41

Man, all right. Number 3, stare at Cold it's got something there. They're just firing on all cylinders and I enjoyed it yeah.

Speaker 3 56:59

You had the piano playing, you had the background singers. There was a lot of, there was a lot of potential there for live. I've seen that live and it's a sight to see, and a great song, my number 3. I'm going to say we're seeing Sister Luck. I'm going to say Sister Luck, I think it's I like how it kind of starts off as what was the name of that song?

Speaker 3 57:31

There's like a knock on Heaven's door and then they come in with that melody and that chorus of Sister Luck and it kind of gives you a little hair standing on top of your arm, kind of a thing. Goosebumps.

Speaker 6 57:49

Goose Willys.

Speaker 3 57:53

The Wilder Beasts.

Speaker 6 58:02

Yeah, I'm going to go. Sister Luck as well. I think that deserves to be on the list it does.

Speaker 3 58:09

I think so yeah, that's right, what else?

Speaker 6 58:15

A little Huckleberry.

Speaker 3 58:18

Yeah, a little Dingleberry.

Speaker 6 58:19

A little chapter of Huckleberry Finn. That's right, and Sister Luck and some Camomile might be in order.

Speaker 3 58:28

There you go. Well, if that's your number 2. My number 2, I think, is I'm going to say Stara Cold. I came around to that. Because, like I said, all those elements of the piano, you had the background singers, you had their harmony, you had a serviceable, really good guitar solo. That's my number 2.

Speaker 6 59:01

Alright, that brings me to my number 1. Strut and Blues, simple chord structure, just sort of a little. You know, tighten the pocket with the drum and bass. You know lots of open notes and they really just rock and roll. They gave it some air. You know, sent me whirling into outer space with that one.

Discussion on Music Authenticity and Influence

Speaker 3 59:36

That's my number 1 as well. Strut and Blues number 1. It was a great song. I like how it just kind of starts off with a regular melody and you know it kind of rocks steadily throughout but it kind of builds momentum at the end and, like you said, all of the players are all in the pocket and they're all playing in sync and it's increasing in its tempo and it builds to just rocking out towards the end. So I love that song.

Speaker 6 1:00:08

You know, yes, just like Professor Altman used to say, we all stand on shoulders of giants, and I don't think the black crows are anything different. You know, they're just crows, they're just people.

Speaker 3 1:00:27

You're going in.

Speaker 6 1:00:30

Alright, so the next couple plays out.

Speaker 3 1:00:32

I think I know what you're saying. Yeah Well, I'll let your words stand on their own.

Speaker 6 1:00:43

They're in the pocket. They fit a notch in the category of great bands, okay.

Speaker 3 1:00:50

Yeah, even though they're almost kind of, it's really showy and polished, it's sort of too polished in some ways. It seems to you. And I know I think I'm coming around to that as well yeah, they are, but it seems like around that time harder, more up tempo songs were more of a norm and playing loud and playing hard.

Speaker 6 1:01:14

Yeah.

Speaker 3 1:01:15

Aggressive was the thing at, particularly at that time, and it's interesting to hear that in blues songs. Yeah, but this is a collection of more up tempo ballads and remakes I could have, or seeing things that was a throwback from the past, that even had more of a positive or more a more optimistic tone to it than the originals, which I think that that kind of speaks to authenticity issues in some people Not for me, because I think that they were really trying their best to give their best for that song to the original artist.

Speaker 2 1:02:02

I agree.

Speaker 3 1:02:05

Yeah, but yeah, I see that puts a bell on it.

Speaker 6 1:02:08

Yeah, oh, I think a little sound clip.

Speaker 3 1:02:12

And we're off Alright, take care folks. Thanks for watching.
