The Black Crowes
"Pass me a bottle, Mr. Jones." The Black Crowes have sold over 20 million records chalked full of gimmicky rock n' roll songs with an occasional catchy tune. The lead singer has made his own noise outside of the studio dating well known Hollywood actresses. Wait, that was the Counting Crows. Let me try this again.
"She says she talks to Angels." The Black Crowes have sold over 20 million records chalked full of gimmicky rock n' roll songs with an occasional catchy tune. The lead singer has made his own noise outside of the studio dating well known Hollywood actresses. Wait a second?
Similarities aside, the Black Crowes first album, Shake Your Money Maker, is still a good listen. They named this tour, "Say Goodnight to the Bad Guys," because this is definitely a group you don't want to meet alone in a dark alley. They sued country star Gretchen Wilson after all.

Dead Confederate/Alberta Cross
I don't get why Alberta Cross is opening for Dead Confederate for $13? AC's 2007 debut EP, Thief and Heartbreaker, has five songs that could have made my top 20 for the year, and they sound great live. Their lead singer even looks and acts like a rock star (even if he sounds a bit like a choir girl). They latched onto the Dave Matthews Band fall tour, opening for Dave and Ben Harper, so it's obvious some people like them (even if I would prefer Dave Matthews and Ben Harper not like me). One would think that break would vault them to popularity. It still remains to be seen.
