Enjoy the Black Crowes and Whiskey Myers’ Cover of Rolling Stones’ ‘Star Star’
The Black Crowes are gearing up for their upcoming summer tour alongside country rockers Whiskey Myers. To commemorate this exciting musical venture, the two bands joined forces in the studio to deliver a raw and unbridled rendition of the Rolling Stones’ classic tune “Star Star.” The track is a testament to the electrifying synergy between them and a sneak peek at what concert-goers can anticipate on the extensive Southern Hospitality tour, commencing on May 17 in Austin.
Their rendition stays true to the original track, the closing song from the Stones’ 1973 album “Goats Head Soup,” capturing its swagger, audacious charm, and gritty rock vibe. However, imbued with their signature Southern rock flair, this rendition also hints at a lost jam session teeming with raucous energy and unabashed decadence.
Chris Robinson, vocalist of The Black Crowes, expressed his excitement for the tour while crediting the newfound momentum from their recent work. Their latest album, “A Pound of Feathers,” coupled with the opportunity to incorporate fresh tracks into their live sets, has invigorated the band. The summer tour promises an engaging experience for fans, with Whiskey Myers joining the lineup and bringing their unique energy to the stage alongside The Black Crowes.
Taking a collaborative approach to their latest album, Rich Robinson mentioned utilizing the studio creatively in the recording process. By sharing song ideas in various stages of completion, they experimented with structures and arrangements, allowing for spontaneous musical evolution within their creative space.
The tour, spanning over 40 dates, will see both bands traverse numerous locations, including Nashville, New York, Detroit, Toronto, and St. Louis. Despite the evolving concert landscape, Chris Robinson highlighted the enduring role of music in connecting people’s life experiences. This shared connection and enthusiasm propel them to embark on this extensive tour in 2026.
As they gear up to hit the road, the anticipation for a summer filled with electrifying performances and captivating interactions with fans is palpable. With a rich discography and a vibrant live presence, The Black Crowes and Whiskey Myers are set to deliver an unforgettable live music experience that ignites the stage with their infectious energy and timeless rock aesthetic.
