The Black Crowes to mark 'Shake Your Money Maker' 30th Anniversary with deluxe box set and tour

A version of this press release from PRNewswire and UME arrived today...


The Black Crowes' Shake Your Money Maker, its multi-platinum debut, is being reissued in multi-formats sets on Feb. 26 through UMe/American Recordings.

Band founders, brothers Chris and Rich Robinson, with original producer George Drakoulias, oversaw the creation of the re-release. The 4LP and 3CD Super Deluxe versions include the original album, remastered; three never-before-heard studio recordings; two unreleased demos from the band's early incarnation as Mr. Crowe's Garden; B-sides; a 14-song unreleased concert recorded in their hometown of Atlanta, GA in December 1990; reproductions of an early Mr. Crowe's Garden show flyer, setlist and tour laminate; a 4" Crowes patch; and a 20-page book with liner notes by David Fricke.

One of the previously unheard studio songs, "Charming Mess," which was originally slated to be the band's first single, but was ultimately left off of the album entirely, is available now.

A 2CD Deluxe version has the remastered album along with the unreleased studio songs, demos, and b-sides. There are also standard 1CD and 1LP versions that are the mastered version of the original.

Shake Your Money Maker was released originally in 1990 and spawned hit rock radio singles "Jealous Again," "Twice As Hard," "She Talks To Angels," and a cover of Otis Redding's "Hard To Handle." The band sold over 5 million records and topped Rolling Stone's "Best New American Band Readers Poll" in late 1990.

The Black Crowes plan to hit the road this summer and will be playing Shake Your Money Maker in its entirety, plus all of their hits. Tickets are on sale now. Go to theblackcrowes.com for more info.
