Chris Robinson Brotherhood - Live @ The Pour House- Charleston, SC Nov. 10, 2011

I'm quite fond of this band. It's the kind of band I'd love to be a part of... they remind me of a tougher, leaner Grateful Dead.  Chris Robinson's vision of a travelling musical commune bringing music to the folks, on their own terms, without regard for making money, is a rather altruistic ideal not often found anymore. Especially
considering Robinson's history with the Black Crowes. I dig the the Crowes but this band appeals to me even more. You can just feel how
much they enjoy what they do. Yes, the jams are sometimes long and loose, but the energy from the band for what they are playing is definitely palpable. Covers? Originals? It's all good. To quote Robinson from a recent Uncut interview that accompanied the review for their fantastic new album, Big Moon Ritual: "Will CRB tour the UK?" Robinson: "We'd like to. It's hard. People ask us, why do you play so many dates in California? Well, because you can drive around with a pound of weed and not get in trouble. Let's face it, we have priorities as a band." 


'Nuff said, Chris. Keep on keepin' on...

Enjoy. Or not.
