To celebrate, the two groups recently got together in the studio to record a gritty cover of the <a href=\"https:\/\/ultimateclassicrock.com\/tags\/rolling-stones\/\">Rolling Stones&#8217;<\/a> &#8220;Star Star,&#8221; which you can watch and hear below.<\/p>\n<p>The combined forces offer a musical hint of what fans can look forward to at the upcoming concerts on the massive <em>Southern Hospitality<\/em> tour, which launches May 17 in Austin. They faithfully channel every inch of the swagger and attitude of the original (which appeared as the closing track on the Stones&#8217; 1973 album <a href=\"https:\/\/ultimateclassicrock.com\/rolling-stones-goats-head-soup\/\"><em>Goats Head Soup<\/em><\/a>], while digging deep into the song&#8217;s barroom jamming vibe and audible decadence.<\/p>\n<p>But their take is also infused with a certain vibe that gives it the feeling of being a lost Southern rock jam.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align:center\">Watch Black Crowes and Whiskey Myers Perform &#8216;Star Star&#8217;<\/h3>\n<h3>What to Expect From the Black Crowes and Whiskey Myers Summer Tour<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re excited. It&#8217;s a big year. We feel that we have a lot of momentum from <a href=\"https:\/\/ultimateclassicrock.com\/black-crowes-happiness-bastards-album-review\/\"><em>Happiness Bastards<\/em><\/a> and everything going on,&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/ultimateclassicrock.com\/tags\/chris-robinson\/\">Chris Robinson<\/a> shares with UCR. &#8220;To have this [new] record, [<em><a href=\"https:\/\/ultimateclassicrock.com\/black-crowes-a-pound-of-feathers\/\">A Pound of Feathers<\/a><\/em>], and to get to interject some of these new songs [as part of the tour] gives us a lot of energy.\u00a0I think the summer is going to be super fun, man. These kids in Whiskey Myers are super cool. We just got to hang with them recently.&#8221; [<em>Editor&#8217;s note: They&#8217;ve got the song above to prove it!<\/em>]<\/p>\n<div class=\"single-post-image \">\n<figure class=\"img-tag has-sizer aligncenter\" style=\"max-width:1600px\">\n<p><span class=\"visually-hidden\">The Black Crowes<\/span><\/p><figcaption>Photo Credit: Errol Colandro<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>&#8220;For the tour, we&#8217;re discussing bringing back some old things that we used to do, that people haven&#8217;t heard in a long time, which is exciting,&#8221; he says. &#8220;We love that our music still means something&#8230;enough to people to come be a part of it and feel it &#8212; and jump up and down.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>The Crowes Embraced the Unpredictable Moments On Their New Album<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;Typically, I&#8217;ll send Chris more finished songs and then we&#8217;ll get together and kind of work out smaller arrangement things, but It&#8217;s kind of a little bit more done than normal,&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/ultimateclassicrock.com\/tags\/rich-robinson\/\">Rich Robinson<\/a> tells UCR in a separate interview. &#8220;But on this record, we wanted to use the studio [as a tool].&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I had songs [that weren&#8217;t as far along], you know, verses and choruses, maybe a couple of bridges, just a general idea of what it was going to be,&#8221; he explained. &#8220;Chris would hear a chorus as a verse and a verse as a chorus, and we would try that out. Sometimes it works, sometimes it didn&#8217;t.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Get Ready for a Lot of Good &#8216;Racket&#8217; on the Road<\/h3>\n<div class=\"single-post-image \">\n<figure class=\"img-tag has-sizer aligncenter\" style=\"max-width:1600px\">\n<p><span class=\"visually-hidden\">Whiskey Myers<\/span><\/p><figcaption>Photo Credit: Jay Blakesberg<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>With over 40 tour dates on tap, it will be a busy summer for the Black Crowes and Whiskey Myers. The <em>Southern Hospitality<\/em> tour will take them from Austin to many other markets, including Nashville, New York, Detroit, Toronto and St. Louis.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s changed a lot. Of course, our audience has changed. I think people&#8217;s attitudes at concerts have changed,&#8221; Chris says of the live experience. &#8220;But ultimately, to get out there and to make a racket and to get the energy flowing, and to know that people are involved in these songs in their lives, in the same way that they&#8217;re intertwined in our experiences, [is really great].&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Doing a full tour in 2026 is incredible. You know what I mean? Like that people care that we have this level of success and that people still enjoy it, and that these songs are in their lives. They&#8217;re part of my life, and they&#8217;re a part of your life. And I think that&#8217;s always been really important to us.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>READ MORE:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/ultimateclassicrock.com\/black-crowes-2026-tour-dates\/\" target=\"_blank\">The Black Crowes Announce 2026 Summer Tour<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"photogallery-wrapper blog-photogallery \">\n<h2 class=\"photogallery-title\">2026&#8217;s Biggest Rock Tours<\/h2>\n<div class=\"photogallery-description\">\n<p>Rock reunions are creating some of the biggest headlines for 2026 \u2013 but there are lots of other huge shows on the way.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"photogallery-credit\">Gallery Credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/ultimateclassicrock.com\/author\/nickderiso\/\" target=\"_blank\">Nick DeRiso<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script src=\"https:\/\/ultimateclassicrock.com\/rest\/carbon\/api\/scripts.js?mver=164&#038;gver=10&#038;bid=295&#038;urls[]=https%3A%2F%2Fbtloader.com%2Ftag%3Fo%3D5642230212591616%26upapi%3Dtrue&#038;urls[]=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.p-n.io%2Fpushly-sdk.min.js%3Fdomain_key%3DmxuuNIMSzp6MHphJEoAGlLFQ3qmwQguzkGZl&#038;urls[]=https%3A%2F%2Ftownsquare.media%2Fpublic%2Fresources%2Fjs%2Fpubcid.min.js&#038;urls[]=https%3A%2F%2Fplatform.twitter.com%2Fwidgets.js&#038;urls[]=https%3A%2F%2Fapis.google.com%2Fjs%2Fplatform.js&#038;urls[]=https%3A%2F%2Fconnect.facebook.net%2Fen_US%2Fsdk.js&#038;urls[]=https%3A%2F%2Fassets.pinterest.com%2Fjs%2Fpinit.js\" type=\"text\/javascript\" async defer data-osano=\"ESSENTIAL\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/ultimateclassicrock.com\/black-crowes-whiskey-myers-rolling-stones-star-star\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Black Crowes are tuning up for their summer tour dates, which will find them sharing the stage with country rockers Whiskey Myers.
