Abafana banezithombe kuwo wonke amagumbi omhlaba, ngakho-ke umnikelo we-Black Crowes ekuthuthukiseni idwala lasekhaya awukwazi ukubukelwa phansi.
Umlando nokuqanjwa kwe-Black Crowes
Emsuka weqembu kukhona izelamani zakwaRobinson - uChris noRich. Izingane kusukela ebuntwaneni zaqala ukuhileleka emculweni. Ngomunye uKhisimusi, inhloko yomndeni yethula isiginci sakudala nesiginci se-bass njengesipho. Kusukela lapho, eqinisweni, uChris noRich abazange bayeke ithuluzi, sebenqume uhlobo lomsebenzi wabo.
Ekuqaleni, abaculi bacula ngaphansi kwegama lokuqamba elithi Mr. Ingadi kaCrowe. Ngaleso sikhathi, ukwakheka kwakushintsha njalo futhi kwakungazinzile. Isimo sashintsha ngasekupheleni kwawo-1980, iqembu labe selibuyekeza igama leqembu. Laba baculi bazibiza ngeziNkomo Ezimnyama.
Lesi sikhathi sanele ukuthi abaculi beqembu elisha bathole isitayela sabo sokwethula izinto zomculo. Umsebenzi weqembu wathonywa kakhulu umsebenzi kaBob Dylan kanye neRolling Stones.

Impumelelo ye-albhamu yokuqala yayisobala. Iqhaza elibalulekile ekwamukelweni okufudumele kwadlalwa eyodwa enenguqulo yekhava ye-Otis Redding Hard to Handle. UMignon ungene ku-US Top 40, evula indlela yokuqoqwa kwabayishumi abahamba phambili.
Ngo-1992, i-discography yeqembu yaphinde yagcwaliswa nge-disc entsha, i-Southern Harmony ne-Musical Companion. I-albhamu entsha iphinde impumelelo ye-albhamu yokuqala. Iphezulu kumashadi omculo waseMelika.
Ngaphambi kokwethulwa ngokusemthethweni kwe-albhamu yabo yesibili yesitudiyo, i-Black Crowes yadlala phambi kwezinkulungwane zezethameli zaseRussia emcimbini odumile we-Monsters of Rock. Abantu baseRussia babazisa ubuhlakani beqembu.
Ukuqanjwa komculo i-Southern Harmony, okufakwe ku-albhamu yesibili, kuthathe indawo yokuqala kumashadi aseMelika. Esigabeni sokuqopha iqoqo, iqembu lashiya iSiz, futhi indawo yakhe yathathwa nguMark Ford Burningtree.
Ngesikhathi kukhishwa i-albhamu yesibili, ukuthandwa kweqembu kwase kukhuphuke kakhulu. Ngakho, ekusekeleni i-Southern Harmony and Musical Companion, abaculi banquma ukunikeza ikhonsathi eMelika. Amathikithi ale khonsathi asedayiswe aphela. Ngo-1992, i-keyboardist enekhono u-Eddie Hersh wajoyina ibhendi.

Ngokushesha abalandeli base bejabulela i-albhamu yesithathu ye-Amorica. Irekhodi lithathe indawo ye-11 ehloniphekile eshadini lomculo laseMelika. Ngaphezu kwakho konke, abalandeli abazange bamangale ngokuqukethwe, kodwa ngokukhanya kwekhava ye-Amorica.
Ikhava yeqoqo ibonise umzimba wesifazane kanokusho ogoqwe ngebhikini enezingcezu zefulegi lase-US. Kusukela ezindaweni ezinkulu, iqembu lathuthela emaqenjini amancane, futhi uhlu lwalo lwanda lwaba ngu-septet, njengoba umculi womculo uChris Trujillo ebonakala eqenjini.
I-albhamu yesine yaba "ukwehluleka" kwangempela kweqembu. Abaculi abambalwa bashiye iqembu ngesikhathi esisodwa. UColt noFord abanekhono balishiya leli qembu. Ngokushesha i-bassist yathathelwa indawo ngu-Sven Peipen, futhi isiginci sanikezwa u-Audley Fried.
Ngasekupheleni kweminyaka yo-1990, ibhendi yaphinde yakhipha ama-albhamu amane okuqala njengesethi yebhokisi elilinganiselwe, elihlanganisa amathrekhi amasha amaningana, kanye nokurekhodwa kwe-albhamu ebukhoma ethandwayo.

Futhi, kubonakala sengathi, ikusasa elijabulisayo lomculo lilindele abaculi. Kodwa izintatheli zaqaphela ukuthi "izinkanuko zase-Italy" zangempela zenzeka ngaphakathi kweqembu.
Ukuhlukana Kwezimpungushe Ezimnyama
Okokuqala, umculi wesigubhu uSteve Gorman washiya iqembu. Ngemva kwesikhashana, uChris Robinson naye wathi "chao" eqenjini, enquma ukuzama inhlanhla njengomculi oyedwa. Ngenxa yezingxabano, abanye abaculi bamemezela ngo-2002 ukuthi i-Black Crowes ayisekho.
