The Black Crowes
The Black Crowes perform Hard to Handle Live at Hangout Music Festival
At the time of the live recording on May 18, 2013, The Black Crowes had just released their album 'Croweology' in 2010, which was an acoustic retrospective featuring reimagined versions of their classic hits. This period marked a pivotal point in their career, as they were on what they dubbed the 'meat and potatoes' tour, playing fan favorites while still demonstrating their signature blend of Southern rock and blues. Interestingly, this performance at the Hangout Music Festival came during a brief reunion phase, reflecting their ongoing relationship with the festival scene and their dedication to live music. The energy of 'Hard to Handle' in this setting really captures the raw, palpable excitement that The Black Crowes consistently deliver, even years after their debut.
