The Crowes have always had this insane gift for making a song their own while still capturing and paying homage to the spirit of the original version. I saw Chris's side project recently do Sugaree and Tough Mama and it was the same story. I have alot of respect for a band that's able to keep their influences alive by introducing them to their audience.
@ginapotter25 what's wrong with covers? You don't have to write a song to sing it. Sinatra never wrote a song, but like Joe, he knew a good song when he heard and knew he could do it better. BTW, The Black Crowes were big time fans of Leon Russell and all the Cocker songs from Mad Dogs and Englishmen that the Crowes covered were note for note Leon's arrangements.

That was all right. I'll give 'em props for covering such a great song, one of my faves on "Mad Dogs And Englishmen." But com'on those two back up chicks ain't got shit on Claudia Lenear, Rita Coolidge, Pam Polland, or Donna Washburn! The Space Choir ruled! And did Chris really need to put that much thrust into the "Ahhh" refrain? Easy Chris...easy.
it would have been impossible to duplicate or match the mad dogs version, that concert was full of music legends and was pretty much spur of the moment, nothing will ever come close, i think the crowes did a damn good job all thing considered.
Wow! Didn't know they did such great covers of Joe's work. I felt like I was watching and listening to Mad Dogs all over again but with new energy! I'm a long-time fan of Joe so this is an unexpected surprise and very, very cool...
JC and the Black Crowes.
