Dry bread on the table
Burn the mill, salt the paper

And it's easy pick-ins on Locust Street
There's no place to hide
And you can't find love on Locust Street
But you can hear the sunrise crying
Can't you hear the sunrise crying
A song for you alone

Sad eyes, weeping willow
Black cat blues, blacked out window

And it's easy pick-ins on Locust Street
There's no place to hide
And you can't find love on Locust Street
But you can hear the sunrise crying
Can't you hear the sunrise crying
A song for you alone

Just a glimpse of what love could be
Once a dream that I owned
What of many lonely longing souls
At least I'm not alone
Well at least I'm not alone

Ripe off the vine now lay rotten
Like a dead end street forever forgotten

And it's easy pick-ins on Locust Street
There's no place to hide
And you can't find love on Locust Street
But you can hear the sunrise crying
Can't you hear the sunrise crying
Can't you hear the sunrise crying
A song for you alone
A song for you alone

Love how this came after Drake. RP is amazing!
What happened to this guy's voice? He used to have a very distinctive, somewhat annoying voice. He doesn't sound like himself any more. Or am I thinking of someone else?

The Crowes have definitely become a lot more rootsy on their recent CDs.  Part of this is the addition of Luther Dickensen, of North Mississippi Allstars fame, to the lineup.  He brings a mean blues and slide guitar to the band.

You simply can't go wrong with the Crowes but if as someone asks below this is the only track on RP then somebody badly needs to send Bill the album "Southern Harmony and Musical Melody Maker"  which is quite simply godlike from start to finish.  Also agree with the live comment these guys are spectacular live.  Miss them to your own detriment.  Next time they come will be my 4th Crowes gig.

Agreed, and it feels quite different from a lot of the other RP stuff.  Works for me.
very nice rootsy sound.

Yep, an American version of the pissed-up gravel-voiced gravedigger, right enough. That's not a good thing in my book, sadly. 2 from the Nottingham jury.

These guys put on an excellent live show.  The venues are usually small which makes it really nice.

Is this the first Black Crowes song in the RP catalog?

DAMN! beat to the punch...

Nice.

Different for them.
