Former Black Crowes Drummer Steve Gorman Sues Chris and Rich Robinson Over Unpaid Back Royalties
Former Black Crowes drummer Steve Gorman is suing fellow founding members Chris and Rich Robinson as part of a long-running dispute over his request to examine documentation to confirm the accuracy of his royalty payments and share in income as part of The Black Crowes Partnership.

Here are some of the most worthy entries in the reissue world. Black SabbathVol. 4 Deluxe Edition (Rhino)Heaven and Hell Deluxe Edition (Rhino)Mob Rules Deluxe Edition (Rhino) What we have here are three essential Black Sabbath albums from two distinctly different periods in the band’s timeline. 1972’s Vol. 4 is renowned mostly for the hedonism and drug use that went down during the album’s creation in Los Angeles. But nearly 50 years later, it stands as the creative pinnacle of the Ozzy era. By bringing the production duties in-house, the original lineup of Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bi...
It’s Only Rock ’n’ Roll: Our 1991 The Black Crowes Feature
This article originally appeared in the May 1991 issue of SPIN. Chris Robinson, the Black Crowes’ very skinny lead singer, is standing in the band’s tour bus outside the Market Square Arena in Indianapolis.

When the band completes this tour in May, it’ll have been on the road for almost 16 months, and they’re beginning to look a little road weary. Drummer Steve Gorman has been complaining all day that he’s coming down with something; he even threatened to pass out during the after-show meet-and-greet session with Indianapolis’s radio dudes and dudettes. Chris Robinson is still hurting from the last three nights in Chicago, which included a visit from his girlfriend and late-night jam sessions with ...
