The Black Crowes have premiered a 4K remastered version of their “High Head Blues” music video to celebrate the 30th anniversary deluxe edition of ‘Amorica’, released November 14th via UMe. “To celebrate the Amorica reissue,” the band announces, “we’ve just released the 4K remastered version of the ‘High Head Blues’ music video. FIRST TIME ever seen on YouTube!!” The Atlanta rockers’ third studio album followed the commercial triumphs of 1990’s ‘Shake Your Money Maker’ and 1992’s ‘The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion’, delivering tracks like “A Conspiracy” and “Wiser Time.”
“Amorica was about breaking free and doing things on our own terms,” Chris Robinson reflects. “It wasn’t about fitting into what was happening in music at the time. It was about trusting our instincts – and 30 years later, that’s still who we are.” Guitarist Rich Robinson adds depth to that sentiment: “The bond between us, even when tested, always came back to the music. That’s what Amorica represents – our belief in ourselves and in this band.”
The deluxe box set arrived as both a 5LP and 3CD edition. The package includes ‘Tallest’, a studio album featuring 9 newly mixed songs from the ‘Tall’ sessions. The legendary unreleased ‘Tall’ album, recorded before ‘Amorica’, was initially scrapped by Chris and Rich to inject fresh creative energy into the ‘Amorica’ sessions.
