    I can't believe this guy doesn't get as much attention as his brother. If you have the chance during the remaining dates on the tour...GO SEE RICH ROBINSON!
    Just saw him last night in a sold out venue that couldn't have held more than 150 people (which was great for those of us that were there, but it's a shame that more people aren't seeing this guy give a clinic on how to play guitar). The 30 minute encore was worth the entire price of admission. He pulled out "Vibeka" and "War Drums" by War and absolutely blew everyone in the building away. Here's the setlist with a couple pics

    Setlist:
    I Don' Hear The Sound of You
    It's Not Easy
    Station Man (Fleetwood Mac)
    Lost & Found
    Look Through My Window
    Winter (The Rolling Stones)
    What Goes On (The Velvet Underground)
    Falling Again
    Standing On The Surface Of The Sun
    By The Light Of The Sunset Moon
    Slide Jam
    > What Is Home
    Gone Away

    ENCORE:
    Oh Sweet Nuthin (The Velvet Underground)
    Vibeka (WAR)
    War Drums (WAR)

    Read that the CR album will be 2 separate records. First will have 7 tracks and the second album will be released a few months later. The songs haven't been cut down for radio either, not that it was going to get spins either way.

    I seen rich in st.louis on Thursday. It was a great show. He's really came into his own on this record. Grown into a much better frontman since the hooka brown days. It is a shame he won't get the fan fare as Chris. Late last year they both played the same venue(the duck room) in st.lou, Chris sold out and rich had a fair showing at best. But anyway, glad they are both out on the road doing well.

    ... And a lovely lady named Amy Lavere is opening this leg of rich dates, damn good in my opinion.

    Very excited for the CRB records and more tour dates. The shows I got to attend last year were among my favorite shows of all time.

    Track Listing for Big Moon Ritual

    Tulsa Yesterday
    Rosalee
    Star Or Stone
    Tomorrow Blues
    Reflections On A Broken Mirror
    Beware, Oh Take Care
    One Hundred Days Of Rain

    I got to hear all of these except One Hundred Days of Rain live and can't wait to hear the studio versions.

    Tulsa Yesterday is a nice mid-tempo road song typical of the Black Crowes.

    Rosalee is a fun little Greatful Dead type jam.

    Star or Stone is an epic 10 minute anthem to what sounds to me like a love falling apary (think parting ways). I hope the keep the excellent a capella bridge and long, sad solo section. This is my favorite song by the CRB by far. It is fantastic.

    Tomorrow Blues is a pretty typical blues song. Nothing special but great if you like that.

    Reflections on a Broken Mirror has been around for several years. Chris used to do this one during his first solo go around.

    Beware, Oh Take Care is new but it was just called Beware on the tour. I got to hear it the first time it was played. Heartbreaking lyrics and soulful delivery make this one a standout. One of the best bridges he has ever written. And the coda is very powerful and moving. Another of my favorites by this new band and gets repeated listens from me.

    I am hoping the 2nd album has some of the newer songs that are missing here like Star Crossed Lonely Sailor (all though that isn't really new) and Vibration And Light Suite.

    Can't wait to hear these 8-) . Good info...didn't realize it's going to be two albums. Love that the songs are getting some good mileage live before officially laying them down in the studio. I purchased a couple of boots from the CRB tour and have enjoyed the heck out of 'em. Hopefully the space between releases will mean more touring :)

    Forgot it came out. I'll have to see how much a copy is at the record store. No doubt I'd love to hear it.

    The song "Rosalee" is a groovy first listen. :thumbup:

    That video made me a lot more anxious for July 15th to come.

    Love it. Great idea to just let them lose and play it they way they do live. Star or Stone is fantastic. I love the bridge and the solo section.

    Rosalee is so much fun live. Too bad they had to cut it down for Leno the other day.

    The new song 100 Days of Rain almost sounds like a Black Crowes song that didn't make the last record. It isn't as spacey as the others.

    I saw that "Big Moon Ritual" is on sale on iTunes for $5.99 or $5.49, can't remember whiche one.

    Good price if you're okay with only having digital files.
