Yup, that sure sounds like the Crowes. I've always liked them, even when I thought they were just a Stones tribute act at first. I detected a hint of Grand Funk Railroad in this new song too. Pretty sure the Crowes were the loudest band I've ever heard live, and that was at an outdoor festival!
Here's one of my favorite tunes of theirs. I only stumbled upon it a couple years ago. Maybe some others don't know it either.
That would be the singing melody. should he ever forget the lyrics on the new one, he'd get away with the Jealous lyrics instead. The guitar intro, the B3 and that beat, later the background singing..... are something different & awesome. they seem to line up their most favourite musical toys and use them all at once. I dig it.
