Once called “The Most Rock & Roll Rock & Roll Band in the World,” The Black Crowes are an all-American hit-making rock group from Atlanta Georgia. The band was formed by brothers, Rich and Chris Robinson while attending high school in the 1980s. Originally, the band was named “Mr. Crowe’s Garden” after the children’s book, Johnny Crow’s Garden by Leonard Leslie Brookes. The Black Crowes found early success, with many of their biggest hits coming from their 1990 debut album, Shake Your Money Maker.

Over the course of their career together, The Black Crowes have published chart-topping albums and songs alike. Notably, their second studio album, The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion spent a week at No. 1 on Billboards Hot 200 after four of its singles became album rock No. 1 hits. This was a record number of top album rock hits at the time.

In this blog, we’ll be highlighting some of The Black Crowes’ top hits you can learn on guitar using JamPlay’s song learning system. Let’s get rockin’!
