Fresh out of the excesses of glam metal and disco, the music lovers needed to be reminded of how good a simple blues rock band could be. The Black Crowes arrived just in time for that with their 1990 hit cover of Otis Redding’s Hard To Handle. The crunchy slide and open G riffs of Rich Robinson and Marc Ford gave rock ‘n’ roll a new found sense of urgency and earthliness.
