The Black Crowes on revisiting Shake Your Money Maker, 30 years after the classic album's release 

With an Irish gig due in the autumn, Chris Robinson talks about reuniting with his brother, being taken by his dad to see Paul Brady, and the wild times on the road with Oasis

The Black Crowes: Rich Robinson and Chris Robinson.

The Black Crowes drew a line in the sand kicking rock'n’roll into the 1990s with their swaggering debut Shake Your Money Maker. Released in February 1990 and going on to sell 5 million copies, their rootsy Southern style and bar-room blues provided some antidote for the doltish hair-metal that dominated throughout the 1980s.

Georgia-born brothers, guitarist Rich and front-man Chris Robinson, were the band’s songwriters who created a string of memorable hits. Those singles along with a cover of Otis Redding’s 'Hard To Handle’ brought them a worldwide fan-base and critical acclaim abetted by heavy rotation on MTV.
