A loud-mouth retired rock critic and a cranky expat rock obsessive discuss, analyze and just plain old argue about rock ‘n‘ roll: the old stuff, the new stuff and why it all still matters.

In which The Curmudgeons marvel at the pure rock 'n' roll glory of what we think is an underappreciated band, The Black Crowes. The band blended the influence of the Rolling Stones, Faces, Humble Pie and dollops of Southern Rock into a blast of audio dynamite that exploded in...1990, when MC Hammer, Vanilla Ice and Paula Abdul otherwise ruled the universe. It was a neat feat, one we explore intensively. The Black Crowes were a testament to a truism that drives our podcast: that awesome rock 'n' roll is unassailable.
Check out a book we reference during the episode, drummer Steve Gorman's memoirs, "Hard to Handle": https://www.thriftbooks.com/w/hard-to-handle-the-inside-story-of-the-black-crowes_steve-gorman/20161323/#edition=27570170&idiq=38535580
