Roots Of The Black Crowes / Various - Roots Of The Black Crowes / Various - Music CD

2009 collection containing tracks that inspired the young Robinson brothers before they formed the world-conquering Black Crowes. Chris Robinson was just 23 when the Black Crowes broke big. Weaned on Blues records and turned onto even more by the cavalcade of Rock legends he met, he has eclectic taste and can spin a good bluesy yarn. This collection of music includes many of the recordings Chris enthused about on the clandestine evening when both he and the future Mojo Magazine helmsman Phil Alexander, ended up prostrate on the hotel floor in Newcastle after sampling the local brown ale and discussing their Blues roots till dawn. 20 tracks including cuts from John Lee Hooker, Son House, Slim Harpo, Jimmie Rodgers, Skip James and many others. Complete.
