Black Crowes drummer and cofounder Steve Gorman shares the band's inside story in this behind-the-scenes biography, from their supernova stardom in the '90s to exhilarating encounters with industry legends.For more than two decades, the Black Crowes topped the charts and reigned supreme over the radio waves, even as hair bands, grunge, and hip-hop threatened to dethrone them. With hits like "Hard to Handle," "She Talks to Angels," and "Remedy," their massive success launched them to stardom in the early '90s, earning them a place among rock royalty. They were on the cover of Rolling Stone, MTV played their videos 24/7, and Generation X rediscovered the power of classic rock and blues by digging into multi-platinum classics like Shake Your Money Maker and The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion.
But stardom can be fleeting. For the Black Crowes, success slowly dwindled as the band members got caught up in the rock star world and lost sight of their musical ambition. Despite the drinking, drugs, and incessant fighting between Chris and Rich Robinson -- the angriest brothers in rock and roll, with all due respect to Oasis and the Kinks -- the band continued to tour until 2013. On any given night, they could be the best band you ever saw (or the most combative). Then, one last rift caused by Chris Robinson proved insurmountable for the band to survive. After that, the Black Crowes would fly no more.
Founding member Steve Gorman was there for all of it -- the coke- and weed-fueled tours; the tumultuous recording sessions; the backstage hangs with legends like Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, and the Rolling Stones. As the band's drummer and voice of reason, he tried to keep the Black Crowes together musically and emotionally. In Hard To Handle -- the first account of this great American rock band's beginning, middle, and end -- Gorman explains just how impossible that job was with great insight, candor, and humor. They don't make bands like the Black Crowes anymore: crazy, brilliant, self-destructive, inspiring, and, ultimately, not built to last. But, man, what a ride it was while it lasted.

Pretty and practical clutch
Color: Champagne Gold
Love this adorable clutch. It is so pretty and well made. It is a really small size. Its not very versatile and can only be used for dinners or events because you can't fit very much in it, especially if you put your phone in it. The strap is optional. The price is appropriate for an off brand fancy clutch. All in all, I'm happy with this as it looks nice, holds an ID, and looks nice with pretty much any dress.

Wish it were wider…
Color: Champagne Gold
Attractive but too slim to hold my small phone wallet. If your phone has a very thin case it would probably work for you. I wish it were just slightly wider. So I would highly recommend you get exact measurement of what you want to carry in this bag.

Casual dress shirt
Size: Medium, Color: Powder Blue Vertical Stripe
I purchased a shirt for my fiancé for vacation wearing to church and just upscale casual wear around town and he loves it. He washed it and dried it and it looks good as new. He also thinks that it runs true to size and is comfortable to wear. The only note is that the fabric is a bit more thick than the other dress shirts that Amazon offers so it’s not optimal if the weather is very hot, otherwise the look is great

Very nice
Size: Medium, Color: Pale Pink
Fits great, looks great and feels great. The material is much softer and structured than it appears.
