Chris said of the reunion: "I'm thrilled & blessed to be playing with my brother celebrating the music we've made and bringing our lives together full circle. Long live rock ‘n' roll and The Black Crowes!"
Rich added: "First and foremost, I'm really happy to have my brother back in my life. To be able to play music again together and celebrate the first record we made as kids, is a gift. To have these songs stand up after 30 years is something I could've never fathomed."
Shake Your Money Maker was fuelled by singles Jealous Again, Twice As Hard, She Talks To Angels, and the rollicking cover of Otis Redding's Hard To Handle. The Black Crowes immediately took the rock world by storm, topping Rolling Stone's Best New American Band Readers Poll in late 1990.
