Not much time for music for pleasure this week what with the hacking enquiry, the test match, the Oslo outrage and making a living. I have found some time for marking the latest Black Crowes "hiatus" with a bit of a Robinson brothers binge. The blend of the Stones, Sly Stone, Funkadelic, the Dead, Traffic, The Band and Gram Parsons is, for me at least, pretty irresistible. The six half-live-half-electric Fillmore sets and the "Croweology" album that spawned them are especially fab. Brixton Academy from '08 is probably my favourite all-electric Crowes show.
So ....
