Official Discussion: DLC Week of 12/4 - The Black Crowes 3 Pack!

[Doc_SoCal]

Hey gang,

The Black Crowes rocketed to success in the ‘90s with a blues-rock sound and throwback vibe that was a revival of some of the biggest rock acts of the’ 70s. With a string of successful mainstream singles and awards, The Black Crowes have cemented themselves in rock history among the legendary acts that have influenced their trademark sounds.

“The Black Crowes Pack 01” kicks off December’s Rock Band downloadable tracks with three hits that helped jumpstart the band to success early in their career. “She Talks to Angels” is the fourth single from the band’s critically acclaimed debut record, 1990’s Shake Your Money Maker. “Remedy,” from the group’s second record, 1992’s The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion, reached #1 on the Billboard Album Rock track charts, and stayed there for 11 weeks! The final single off of The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion, “Sometimes Salvation” rounds out the three-pack.

Wow, people actually guessed these.

But: uh oh, our first December 3-pack in five years.

I'm not a big fan of the Black Crowes, but I might pick them up anyways. Congrats to everyone who is super excited for this!

[MrPerson]

[VolTRH]

Slightly disappointed, but whatever. I'm not too familiar with this band's work.

I'll give them a listen.
