Hard to Handle: The Life and Death of the Black Crowes is a memoir by drummer Steve Gorman about his time in The Black Crowes, co-written by music critic Steven Hyden. The book describes the formation and success of the Black Crowes from Gorman's point of view as well as its eventual break-up. [1]

Background

The book covers Gorman's time performing in bands with the Robinson brothers, from 1987 to 2013.[2] Pete Angelus' management and promotion of the Crowes is a major part of the focus of the memoir, as is the rivalry between brothers Chris Robinson and Rich Robinson.[3] The book primarily deals with the history of the band, and Gorman's explanation as to why it eventually fell apart.[4]

Gorman co-wrote the book with Steven Hyden, and it was published by Da Capo Press.[5]

Reception

The book was positively received by critics.[6] [7] The Black Crowes were reformed a month after release of the book, which gave it added publicity.[8]
