crowing about The Crowes

Also wanted to mention that tomorrow's column in The Sun will look at The Black Crowes, who are coming to Hampton Beach Casino Ballroom next weekend for two shows on Thursday, June 18 and Friday, June 19.

Having seen them more than a dozen times, although not with their current lineup that features new keyboard player Adam MacDougall (who replaced the great Eddie Harsch) and guitarist Luther Dickinson of the North Mississippi All-Stars (who ostensibly replaces Marc Ford although that slot has been a revolving door for years), I know what to expect from The Crowes. You get quick run-throughs of their bigger hits along with extended jams of songs like Black Moon Creeping. It's usually a good time, although my taste for lengthy jams has waned a bit over the years and I think their creative juices have evolved them from the rock band they were in the 90s to a next generation version of The Band.

Still, it's usually a good take.
