The Black Crowes, currently on the road promoting their new album, A Pound of Feathers unveiled another Rolling Stones song, this time at their stop in Camden, New Jersey.

Prior to the tour’s start, they released a cover of “Star Star” alongside tourmates Whiskey Myers. Then at a stop in Japan, they busted out a cover of “Bitch.” And now at a recent show in New Jersey, they returned to The Stones’ 1972 album, Goat’s Head Soup and debuted a version of “Dancing with Mr D,” that album’s opener.

“I know you can probably guess this, but we always love coming home,” said Black Crowes lead singer Chris Robinson towards the end of the band’s show in Alpharetta, Georgia. “Although I left Atlanta in 1990, so it doesn’t look like it when I drive around, but I know we’re home.” The show had already featured all the Crowes’ biggest hits and a collaboration with Kevin Kenny from Drivin’ n’ Cryin’ for a version of “Acceleration.” But the Crowes had another cover in store.

Arlo Parks — Yukon (Justin Bieber cover)

The talk of Coachella this year was Justin Bieber—specifically, his controversial headlining set that featured, in part, him singing along karaoke-style to videos of himself he pulled up on YouTube. Plus, Geese debuted their old “Baby” cover live (while Sabrina Carpenter watched sidestage no less). But maybe the best Bieber happening this month was this great lo-fi cover by Arlo Parks.

Jamey Johnson – Pretty When It’s New (Merle Haggard)

Merle Haggard’s birthday saw two new covers drop. One’s in the next section. This first one’s even better though. Country singer Jamey Johnson dug deep—and late—for this pick. The song comes off one of Haggard’s final albums, 2010’s I Am What I Am. This is the same album that included “Bad Actor,” which Bob Dylan covered in concert a couple years ago. The album’s seemingly on its way to be the country version of Blackstar or You Want It Darker, a late-in-life masterpiece for the true heads. Continue reading »

The Black Crowes Cover The Stones (Again) in Japan Prior to US Dates

The Black Crowes are on a Stones kick. A few weeks ago, they released a studio recording of “Star Star,” recorded alongside their summer tour partners Whiskey Myers, and now at a Japan gig, they busted out another cover.

This time, the Crowes played something from The Rolling Stones‘ 1971’s Sticky Fingers, though singer Chris Robinson wasn’t above toying with fans before the song. After asking the crowd if they wanted to hear something by The Beatles, the band tore into “Bitch,” which is, of course, not a Beatles song.

The crowd seemed to get the joke and the band tore into the song, with both the audience and band having a great time.

The Black Crowes are playing all across the country this summer alongside Whiskey Myers as part of their “Southern Hospitality” tour.

The Black Crowes and country rock band Whiskey Myers will be crossing the US this summer as part of their “Southern Hospitality” tour. Prior to hitting the road on May 17th, the two bands joined together in the studio to cover a pretty infamous Rolling Stones song.

With singers Chris Robinson and Cody Cannon leading the charge, the two groups offer up a loud, rollicking and fun version of the Stones’ 1973 album closer “Star Star.” The new version has the same feeling of singing something inappropriate and absolutely relishing the opportunity. While it will never make a list of the best Stones songs ever, there’s something enjoyable about singing along to this one; even if some of the sentiments have aged terribly. Continue reading »
