Black Crowes drummer and cofounder Steve Gorman shares the band’s inside story in this behind-the-scenes biography, from their supernova stardom in the ’90s to exhilarating encounters with industry legends.

“I couldn’t put the book down-absolutely unbelievable read!”-JOHN MCENROE, New York Times bestselling author of But Seriously and You Cannot Be Serious

“I honestly couldn’t put [this book] down. Made me nostalgic, sad, and happy too.”-CHRIS SHIFLETT, lead guitarist of Foo Fighters

“Essential reading for rock fans everywhere.” -BRIAN KOPPELMAN, co-creator and showrunner of Billions

For more than two decades, The Black Crowes topped the charts, graced the cover of Rolling Stone, and reigned supreme over MTV and radio waves alike with hits like “Hard to Handle,” “She Talks to Angels,” and “Remedy.” But as the old cliché goes, stardom can be fleeting, and the group’s success slowly dwindled as the band members got caught up in the rock star world and lost sight of their musical ambition. On any given night, they could be the best band you ever saw-or the most combative. Then, one last rift in 2013 proved insurmountable for the band to survive. After that, The Black Crowes would fly no more.

Founding member Steve Gorman was there for all of it-the coke- and weed-fueled tours; the tumultuous recording sessions; the incessant fighting between brothers Chris and Rich Robinson; the backstage hangs with legends like Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, and the Rolling Stones. As the band’s drummer and voice of reason, he tried to keep The Black Crowes together musically and emotionally. In Hard ToHandle-the first account of this great American rock band’s beginning, middle, and end-Gorman explains just how impossible that job was with great insight, candor, and humor. They don’t make bands like The Black Crowes anymore: crazy, brilliant, self-destructive, inspiring, and, ultimately, not built to last. But, man, what a ride it was while it lasted.
