The Magpie Salute
The Black Crowes' splintering has had one positive for fans: new bands to follow, the latest being The Magpie Salute. Debuting in January 2017, the group reunites guitarist Rich Robinson with axe-slinger Marc Ford -- the guitar team for the Crowes' mid-'90s classics -- as well as fellow former Crowes bassist Sven Pipien, several Rich Robinson Band members and lead singer John Hogg, who played with Robinson in Hookah Brown. The group's self-titled debut ranges from muscular, melodic southern rock to jazzy workouts with equal aplomb.
