The Black Crowes - Goodbye Daughters of the Revolution

I have The Black Crowes's Goodbye Daughters of the Revolution 1-track radio promo here. There's really not a whole lot to write about when you're just given one song to listen to.

The good news is that if you like old The Black Crowes, this song sounds exactly like what they sounded like on their quadtriple southern blues/rock album, Shake Your Moneymaker - which is not a bad thing at all if you dislike change.

The Black Crowes - Hard to Handle Otis Redding - Hard To Handle

"Goodbye Daughters of the Revolution" seems slightly too long to be radio friendly, but it's actually perfect, clocking just over 4 minutes. Maybe it's the repetitive "Doncha wanna see the ship go down with me" at the end that stretches it out too long for me.

It's hard to talk about this song without going back to reflect on their massive hit single, "Hard to Handle" from 1990. Which I don't think people knew it was a cover of an Otis Redding song.

What I think made the song such a big hit was more or less their rock interpretaton.

I absolutely love it when the song slightly pause and these lines are sung:

Hey little thing, let me light your candle
Cause mama I'm sure hard to handle

Goodbye Daughters of the Revolution is the lead-single from The Black Crowes's much-anticipated album, Warpaint with a street date of March 4, 2008.
