Hard to Handle
This week’s instalment of Music Monday is Hard to Handle by Otis Redding from his 1968 album, The Immortal Otis Redding. The Black Crowes version is from their 1990 album, Shake Your Money Maker.
Redding recorded the song in 1967 shortly before his death, and it appeared in 1968 as the B-side to Amen. The Black Crowes turned it into a swaggering Southern rock stomp for their debut. It stalled at number 45 on first release, then climbed to number 26 in 1991 after She Talks to Angels broke through, becoming their highest charting single.
