The Black Crows released their cover of the song Hard to Handle in the year 1990. The song was originally released by, singer Otis Redding in 1968.
And the Grateful Dead's version is also superior.
It's amazing that so many folks think this was an original. Thank you for educating about this tune.
Didn't Janice Joplin do a cover too?
@C Summers,
This is nothing against Otis Redding, but the Black Crows cover has so much more style in the singing and music.
I just find it hard to believe that it was released in 1990. I thought the Black Crows released it way later.
@@algrap1954 yeah Pigpen's vocals on this were always fire!
Asia & BJ, you'll like their "Jealous Again", and "She Talks to Angels"!
Those are great songs. “Remedy” is another.
I thought it was "She Talks to Anglos"
Jealous Again is a jam! Smell that gasoline burning!
She Talks To Angels live in Atlanta Georgia is perfection a must to watch.
Grew up in metro Atlanta. Worked audio/video retail in the 90’s. We were playing Black Crows in the store. Had a female customer. We chatted for awhile. She let me know that Chris & Rich Robinson were her sons. Just a fond memory.
The drummer, Steve, lived here in my town here in KY. His mom worked at the local bingo hall. I actually got to meet Steve just a few years ago.
Wow Mr. Mitz then u met Mrs. Robinson then😮😮😮
Great live band. "She Talks to Angels" is a great, sad song about love and addiction. I cry every time.
I'M NOT CRYING!!! YOU'RE CRYING!!!!
Sometimes Salvation is also about addiction - the video is really powerful along with the amazing song!
Definitely a song I would love to see / hear them react to 😉🤟😎😎🤟💞
If you want the Robinson brothers to take you to straight up church, you should try “seeing things for the first time”. You wont be disappointed! Much love✌🏽
A 90's band influenced by The Rolling Stones and Southern Rock n' Roll Bands and Soul Music of the 60's>>>>>The Black Crows are definitely bringing back that vintage sounds while updating their sound to the 90's.....Good group!!!
This isong was originally recorded by Otis Redding back in the mid-1960's, that's probably why you get an "old song" feel from this. Otis' original was very good, but these guys did it justice.
It's more like Otis' version is fantastic, and this version is milquetoast. It's barely a cover of Otis, it's more of a cover of The Grateful Dead without the great funky instrumental interplay in the middle.
@@TTM9691 I'm a big Otis Redding Fan, but I enjoyed this cover, I thought they did a good job of modernizing the song, without loosing the old school feel to it. I did not know that the Greatful Dead covered this song, but I was never a fan of that band, so I have never heard their version.
@@waynefurrow845 Well, believe me.....The Black Crowes were fans of the Dead. And The Black Crowes didn't "modernize" it (how could they? They were a retro band from the beginning) You could have taken their arrangement and plopped it in the 70s or the late 60s and it would have been exactly the same. I'm not sure you understand what "modernizing" is, unless you simply mean recording it on 48-track instead of 4-track.
The Black Crows did a great cover, but you should check out the original from Otis Redding.
If you don't believe Blues-Rock Vault then hear for yourself. Love the Black Crows but there was only one OTIS. czcams.com/video/1ZxN9iQM7OY/video.html
The Black Crowes are FANATIC!!! She Talks To Angels is one of my all time favorite songs. Seeing Things For The First Time is also excellent.
This song never gets old
Thorn in my pride is an underrated masterpiece
^ true story
The Southern Harmony & Musical Companion album is a masterpiece. One of the best albums of the 90’s.
@Gooden Age of Dinosaurs. I totally agree. So many GREAT songs on that album that people forget about til they hear them again.
Seeing things for the first time. A classic!!
Chris Robinson the lead singer was the first husband to the actress Kate Hudson. This was released in 1990 a good sound for the day.
Kate’s momGoldie Hawn was in a movie called “The Banger Singers”, about 2 middle -aged women who at one time were Rock groupies. Chris Robinson did a solo song The Red Road for the movie, and I like it as well, if not more than, some of their other stuff. The song is only on the soundtrack. The movie, by the way, is fantastic! Sad and funny too, you’ll love it!
@@melodymcdonald2140 Never mind that young Goldie in Rowan & Martins Laugh In the late 60's early 70's she was great.
Black Crowes rock out with southern styles. "Remedy" is another great one.
Yes!!!
One of the 1st concerts I went to in the 90s. Dave Mathews, Blues Traveler and the headliner was Black Crowes. It was awesome!
Great American rock and roll band!
Otis Redding recorded this song first, The Commitments (Irish group who played soul) also covered it. Great song!
You need to watch their official video for "Remedy", his dancing alone is worth it, and the song is amazing!
Absolutely!!
The Black Crowes whole schtick coming out of the 90's was to Sound like a 70's band.. check out thier Songs "Remedy" and "She talks to Angels"
Remedy from Black Crowes is so, so incredible..so Southern Rock, bluesy, funky
Seen the Black Crowes in 91 with ZZ Top Hershey Pa.Chris was all strungout,and his brother threw his guitar and walked off stage.
They were a local band in Atlanta called "Mr. Crowe's Garden", before they changed their name to "Black Crowes". That rippin' guitar solo was actually played by the producer/mixer Brendan O'Brian. He was also a local Atlantan who went on to mix some of the most iconic albums of the 90s.
One of the GREAT rock- n- roll blues & soul influenced bands....EVER!....PERIOD!
I think you would loves some of their live performances from the tour they did with Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page in their band.They did some of their songs and some outstanding covers of Led Zep songs as well.Live at the Greek show is from the tour. Billed as Jimmy Page and the Black Crowes
The Black Crowes are another southern rock band they are from Atlanta, Georgia
The Original was Released in 1968 as a B- side to the song
" Amen ". It Peaked on the Billboard R&B Charts at No. 38 and @ No. 51 on the Billboard Pop Charts. Unfortunately Otis passed in 67' so he would never have an opportunity to perform the song live. The Black Crowes version Peaked at No. 26 on the Billboard Hot 100 and Reached No.1 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Charts. Many were ( and still are ) under the impression that this was a Black Crowes Original which isn't a stretch to believe after hearing how they arranged the instrumental and how Chris Robinson delivered the Vocals. The Black Crowes didn't stray far from Otis's version and Chris Robinson even kept the overall delivery of the " Hard To Handle Chorus section " with its Iconic Cadence only changing it in an extremely subtle way ( " Hey little thing let me light your candle cause(a) Momma I'm sure Hard To Handle and I Gets Around " ) by extending the overall length of the actual verbal delivery where Otis had a Specific way he delivered the same line. I personally know people who were Teens/20's in 1968 and do not remember ever hearing the Otis Redding version ( which due to it being a B-side wouldn't have received much airplay on any major stations ) Those same people however remember when the song was released by the Black Crowes in 1990 and many were under the impression that it was simply an Original due to the fact that it was right up their alley as far as style and lyrical content. Some have said that due to Otis being a Black Musician that it may have affected the popularity of the song however in my opinion , in 1968 just after his untimely death in 67' , ( Which thrust Otis's popularity into an even more mainstream setting ) That year would become known as the Summer of Love and the Original iconic Woodstock would take place in August of 68' ... Black Musicians were absolutely destroying barriers when it came to their music getting played on all of the Mainstream Major Radio Stations. The Hippie Culture had taken over and Color was no longer recognized unless it was Rainbow Colors. Hendrix was one of , if Not the biggest Musician in the world and there were many more Black Musicians that were paving the way for tons of Musicians of Color. James Brown had been clawing at those Barriers since the 50's and was also EXTREMELY instrumental in making Black music accepted within the often segregated Music Scene. In 68' there was no longer the " Negro cirucut " or the " Chitlin Circut " ... Black musicians were now able to play in what were once Predominantly White Venues and the crowds were no longer being segregated. Musicians like Otis Redding , Sam Cooke , Jimi Hendrix and Still going strong in 68', One of my all time personal favorites Mr. James Brown ... They all influenced an entire Generation of new Musicians and when The Black Crowes hit the scene on the late 80's and then released their Album in 1990 " Shake Your Money Maker " featuring the Otis Redding Cover of Hard to Handle , It was then completely socially acceptable and normal for Bands to Cover songs and Musicians who were Black. It had been for decades at that point but being that The Black Crowes were a " Southern Rock Band " They would have grown up hearing and listening to all things Black Music in the South which is where they got their " Church Soul " heard in Chris's Vocals , The iconic " Church Organ which can be heard in many of their songs as well as their Funk influences with some of their Guitar parts. Both versions of the song are amazing but in my personal Opinion , The Black Crowes Version ( they actually released two versions , the Studio cut which is most often played and heard and their second version added the Iconic " Otisesque " Brass Section to the song like the Original Redding Version ) of Hard to Handle is the best version of the song. They kept enough of the Original Redding Version to offer nothing but respect and to pay Homage to Otis but they added enough of their own Southern Rock , heavily guitar driven influence to make the song their own to the point where again , Many were and still are under the impression that the Black Crowes version is an Original. This song is Timeless and is always a really feel good party song that puts ya in a phenomenal mood when it starts playing. Much Respect to the Legend Otis Redding because without Otis we wouldn't even have this song to begin with. An absolute Classic through and through.
The way Run DMC were inspired by Walk This Way from Aerosmith to merge classic rock with hip hop, music of the future, same way Crows (drummer Steve Gorman cited Walk This Way as an inspiration for drumming on this track) took the classic rock to the past and dressed a classic soul track from the 60s into it. Goes without saying that classic soul tracks influenced all of it in the first place.
The lead singer used to be married to actress Kate Hudson which is the daughter of the actress Goldie Hawn!
Came out in 1990 ..It was a Otis Redding hit in the 60s ....
They always sounded like Faces, early Rod Stewart, to me. Which is a good thing.
Their first two albums are EPIC. Their later stuff is good, but most of it got a little slower in tempo. Its not bad, just not as rocking as the first two albums. One of my favorite bands. I've got their catalog of studio albums so if you need suggestions I can drop them!
I've heard them say that they were _heavily_ influenced by the Rolling Stones' stuff from around 69-72 or so...you can tell. When they came out in the 90s it was definitely that sort of vibe...
The Stones & the Faces.
Saw the Crowes in the beginning in the middle and at the end when they broke up again. Fantastic live band and I have my tickets secured for the reunion! Stoked
Black Crows,good old rock and roll! Very talented band,another one cover bands loved.
One of my favorite groups of all time. STING ME/ HEY, BLACKBERRY/NO SPEAK NO SLAVE/ DESCENDING/ THORN IN MY PRIDE. The crowes Started in 1986 and the two brothers (When they can stand each other /lead singer/blond guitarist--Chris and Rich Robinson. ) The rest of the band could not take the fighting anymore and left.
Fun fact: the records producer Brendan O Brien had to play the solo for this song because JEFF CEASE, their first lead guitar slinger, could not manage something so tricky. He was replaced during the first tour by Marc Ford, a talented lead guitarist. 35 years of music in these guys.
This was their WORST SONG/ and otis redding cover song, So it only gets a lot better from here.
Sure it's been said but Otis Reding did this...not sure he wrote it , but I think so. These guys are 90's pretty sure. Great band. Guitarist and singer are brothers.
Black Crows where established has a band in 1984 but started to make it big in 1990
Ooh never new this was originally an Otis Reading tune . U2 always put a smile on my face .
I just bought tickets to see them on the 29th of June. Saw them 3 times in the 90s. Really great band live. I've been to a ton of concerts and they are great live. That to me is amazing enough. They were rock when grunge was all over the airwaves.
I was a teenager when I first heard this song and hooked ever since! 😁
90's. I think they're Athens Georgia. This is a cover. It gets covered a lot.
Saw THE BLACK CROWS with TOM PETTY and The ❤️BREAKERS… awesome love their songs, REMEDY & JEALOUS. Chris Robertson lead sunder ex son in Law of GOLDIE HAWN. Was married to Goldie’s Daughter actress KATE HUDSON. Great Band👍🏽🎸🥁💙
I really wish y'all had done their live music. To see them jam is a sight to see. All these "southern style jam bands"..... LIVE is what you always want.
This the first album i bought on cd when i was in grade 9 … great babd first twi albums are amazing
Worth noting that this came out a year before Nirvana's "Nevermind" record. Which is simply to say that there was an anti-big-hair rock movement before grunge. This record was huge, and was such a relief after a decade of spandex and pointy guitars and, for that matter, flat-topped and slick r&b in which the guys were starting to wear matching outfits again. The Crowes' reward from the critical establishment? They were called "pretentious" and never respected when they were popular (don't know what today's critics think). Eh, what can ya do.
True story: when the band first went into the studio to record their first album they gave the producer several albums one being the Faces with Rod Stewart and said we want this sound on our album.
He gave them those records to help inspire them to write songs in that style, cos they were writing very different stuff before - more like early REM
When they came out they were like an old style rock band. Great stuff
Been a fan from the beginning and have seen them many times in many different cities and even met them last summer!
Soooo many great Black Crowes tunes worth reacting to. To get a feel for their diverse styles I recommend checking out a slower, more soulful sample like “Seeing Things for the First Time” or “Oh Josephine.”
Great Atlanta musicians who broke into rock and roll in the grunge era with a cover. Legendary. My absolute favourite American rock band. Thanx.
Early 90s..seen them 3xs between 91 to 2002..HORDE FESTIVAL had some of THE BEST ARTISTS.
One of my favorite bands, I saw them for the 14th time a few months ago & will see them again in the summer. Chris Robinson has a voice that is unmatched with his soulful/bluesy Southern Rock sound but he’s versatile. So many songs I don’t know where to start but please go DEEP in this rabbit hole. You need to watch him perform too. She Talks To Angels, Sometimes Salvation, Remedy, Wiser Time...I’m a fan! 😂❤️
Their debut album shake your money maker came out in 1990 , (great album)
It’s WHAT A “REAL BAND” sounds like 👍💜💜💜💜
This is a cover of an old Otis Redding song! I suggest She Talks To Angels
Their hidden gem is Seeing Things. Just an incredible track.
this is a rabbit hole! GREAT band with so many hits Good Friday is a great one
It's a great cover of a legend. The incredible Otis Redding did this first.
Oh my….love this one- that piano,sax….fun! ❤️🎼❤️
Thanks for listening
@@AsiaandBJ shoot, I was up late last night…. hoping I’d see Train Train- Blackfoot 😂😂😂😂I was pushing hard for that one cause it’s just such a jam. Saw Black Crowes and thought…” ok…we still rollin…..” ❤️🎼❤️ X-ray tech, music major- vocalist,mother of 4 loves you guys !!
Keep the rock coming….it doesn’t matter which flavor- it’s still Rock n Roll.🎼🎶🎶🎶🤘😎🔥🔥
14 year old Courtney Hadwin channeled her inner Janis Joplin and blew the people away with this song on America's Got Talent. Should check it out sometime.
i loved when she sang this it was great you should check out her video i believe it was on America's got talent
Thanks! Love this band! Good God Y'all best cover of Otis!
Our pleasure!
@@AsiaandBJ Babies go listen to Black Sabbath Changes when we all leave the nest.
Black Crows are a fantastic Rock Band! They even toured with Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin covering Led Zeppelin tunes in the early 90s. Everything they play is great! They are touring again this summer!
Great old fashioned Rock n Roll band! I bought their first record on cassette when it was released. Chris Robinson has that great rock voice! Good reaction!
I saw them way back in the day when they just dropped this album.The place was called Cadillacs in Hickory NC,paid 5 dollar cover and they blew the roof off of that place.Was a small bar that held about 120 ppl.After the show the band came and got drunk with every one...great night
GREAT band. "Seeing Things" is amazing, and "She Talks To Angels" is a necessity.
Another great band from my home state.
Thats good old music make my memory com back when i was in the 20s love it
Good band, good party music. These guys jam hard.
You should check out "Remedy".
The two Robinson brothers are fabulously talented - the whole band is solid, so many hits! Remedy is a huge hit for them but Sometimes Salvation is on heavy rotation and such a powerful song/video. They also did a Led Zeppelin concert tour with Jimmy Page and they do a hell of a job with my favorite band!
Check out the original artist who wrote this. Otis Redding. I saw footage of him playing in England in the late 60's I believe. The crowd had 2 types of people in it. One group sitting there with thier mouths open straight shook at the groove and spectacle that Otis Redding was. Clearly digging him big-time. The other group was dancing singing and going straight nuts to his performance. I think it's Love and Tenderness he was singing. OG badass!
Written by the late great Otis Redding. It was released posthumously, and the Black Crowes of course loved Otis. This song was also an early live staple of the Grateful Dead.
Loved the band and the song since back in the 90s! Was just listening to them earlier today as I drove around town! 👍👍👍 THANK YOU GUYS AGAIN! You make some fantastic choices! LOVE YOU GUYS!♥️
So good!
Great song from one of THE great rock albums of all time
🔥Great Band. She talks to angels & Sometimes salvation are very good tunes also.
This is definitely my favorite song of theirs and She Talks to Angels.
“Seeing things” Is a beautiful song by these guys. You guys will love it
They were an 80s band that didn't chart till the 90s. They have lots of material you should listen to.
S.
Mae West covered this in 1969 when she was 90 years old!
That's great! I've heard some of her hilarious recordings from that time.....but not " Hard To Handle"! That's the perfect song for her!
I love Asia's loyalty to her man.
The Grateful Dead also did this song, back in the “daze”.
Remedy is my fave
Great reaction!!! Full of soul, and rock. What a blend!!!
"...let me light your chemicals" not candle lol makes this song hit even harder 😎🔥😎
If not mistaken, Jimmy Paige joined up with them and did an album.
Thank you, Black Crow we're great they can play soul blues and rock and southern rock all in one song, Asia hit it right on the nail Hit and run thank you for your guys reaction
They formed in 1996 but their first album come out in 1989
How could their first album come out 13 years before they were formed?
@@TonyM1961 I am sorry I thought I put in 1986
@@shirleybuffington6420 it was just a bit confusing and I didn't understand. I wasn't trying to be rude or anything
@@TonyM1961 that is fine sometimes the keys are too close together and I didn’t catch it thanks for pointing it out no I didn’t think anything about it
One of the best bands from the 90's. Definitely worth exploring!
guys....great song.......do sometimes salvation...trust me on this...this is church,this is some of the best this band ever ever did in history...sometimes salvation...do that one...trust me PLEASE....I wont steer you wrong.
Black Crowes - Seein' Things, Bad Luck Blue Eyes they have a great catalog
Now check out the original artist and composer- Otis Redding! Also check Otis out at the Monterey Pop Festival- I was there to see him- and I’ll tell you about it !
Check out the Commitments version as well.
I just noticed. The lead singer here sounds a lot like the lead singer from Crazy Elephant.
It’s a remake of a great Otis Redding song from ‘68
“Seeing Things for First Time “ will knock your socks off, guys! This group is 🔥
I bought this cassette when it came out and it's so funny to see the lyrics because to this day I still didn't know what he was saying in some of these verses 😅 until now. 😬
The Black Crowes are a mandatory rabbit hole 🕳 consider it a moral imperative! 😂 Enjoy! You guys are awesome!
Asia's reaction cracks me the fuck up cause she is going on a trip and she says ohhh hell yeah lmao
This was an Ottis Redding song from the 60's redone by the Black Crows in the early 90''s ..
Oh yeah! Great song! Check out their other song called “she talks to angels” it’s a big hit.
Hard to handle was released in 1990 but it has a seventies feel to the music
