The Black Crowes

The Black Crowes formed in Atlanta, Georgia back in 1984,  but their smash debut album didn’t come out until 1990.  Chris (vocals) and Rich Robinson (guitar) were infamous for not getting along with each other but nonetheless, the brothers formed the core of the band that featured that Stonesy swagger and the Faces’ boogie.  The first single from their debut “Shake Your Money Maker” was a song called “Jealous Again”, but it was their cover of “Hard to Handle” that set the group on its way to multiple platinum success.

For 100 free Jack Nation points, answer the following rock trivia question correctly:

Who did the original version of “Hard To Handle”?

Leave your answer under “comments” and I’ll leave you a bonus code that won’t be too hard to handle as it’s worth 100 points in your Jack Nation account.

Good luck y’all.
