Chris Robinson has canceled plans for a fall tour with his band New Earth Mud, amid growing speculation that he may re-team with his brother Rich under the Black Crowes moniker. As previously reported, the siblings have met recently with former manager Pete Angelus to discuss a potential reunion.
Angelus declined to comment, other than to say, “Keep your resin-covered fingers crossed.”
Rich Robinson is prepping for the Aug. 24 release of his solo debut, “Paper,” via his own Key Hole imprint. There’s no word yet if he will tour in support of the set, in the wake of recently completed pre-release residencies in New York, Philadelphia and Boston.
Also foreshadowing a reunion is the recent reactivation of the Black Crowes’ Web site, which has been largely dormant since the group announced a hiatus in 2002. The site hosts animation of two crow heads with lit joints in their mouths, as live Black Crowes audio clips play in the background.
