Black Crowes Accuse Country Songstress of Copyright Breach

"We find the musical verses of Wilson's song to be such an obvious example of copyright infringement that I expect all parties to reach a relatively quick resolution to avoid litigation," reports Pete Angelus, longtime manager of the Black Crowes.
There is no response yet from Wilson's camp. She has filmed a video for the song, which is being shown in an advertisement on TNT, TBS, truTV and in Regal Cinemas. (Watch it here.)

I guess they have the same Melody ... SO WHAT! .... is this going to cost the Crowes any money? ... NO! ... Do you think someone will go to I-Tunes to buy "Jealous Again" ... and then change their mind and buy her record? ... NO! ... it's the He's so Fine/My Sweet Lord BS ... every song sounds like some other song. The Crowes are Washed up ... this makes them "someone again" Hey! I'm gonna write a song now!

Gretchen does not have to steal from anyone much less the crows. I listened to both and there is no comparison

The Black Crowes stole their guitar riff for "Twice As Hard" from Led Zepplin's "Travelin' Riverside Blues".

If you listen to the two, the likeness is stiking. What a rip off. Gretchen Wilson took my favorite rift and ruined it.

i don't know where you've been hiding to think the black crowes are all washed up! they still rock! so does gretchen. she's probably a fan of theirs since her song sounds so similar. the similarity is so obvious...she just should've got permission.

you are probably the only person on earth who is so tone deft that you could say that. By the way can you sing?
