And even though there’s no way Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch would put out a country album this or any other year, another man who caught a break in 1989 has undergone a musical makeover and come out on the other side shiny as a new penny. This man, of course, is Chris Robinson, lead singer for the Black Crowes, who are officially on infinite hiatus; that growling swagger of a rock group that gave us “Hard to Handle” and “Jealous Again.” Robinson was practically the antithesis of grunge in the ’90s. He was Southern, lean, sexy and completely different than Kurt Cobain. How extraordinary it is to see him now, more than 20 years later with his latest group the Chris Robinson Brotherhood, all relaxed smiles and California sunshine. Like a phoenix rising, Robinson has shed his vintage (and dare I say Rod Stewart-esque) rocker chic strut for a groovy, psychedelic shuffle. After a solid year of touring, the Brotherhood holed up in California’s Topanga Canyon to record back-to-back albums, Big Moon Ritual and The Magic Door, released in June and September 2012, respectively. The combined 14 tracks are, according to Robinson, “classic California space boogie.” Translation: a trippy jaunt with Robinson calling “All aboard the groove train!” This is music to listen to on a sunny afternoon while twirling aimlessly around the living room. And for the most part, it feels authentic and exuberant. Walk through that magic door with Robinson, Adam MacDougall, George Sluppick, Mark “Muddy” Dutton and Neal Casal when they play 9 pm Tuesday, Nov. 27, at WOW Hall; $15 adv., $18 door. — Jackie Varriano C O N T I N U E D CORVALLIS, ETC LASELLS STEWART CENTER TU Oregon State Wind Ensemble’s “And the Mountains Rising Nowhere—7:30pm DEXTER LAKE CLUB 39128 Dexter Rd., Dexter • 937-4050 DIABLO’S/DOWNTOWN LOUNGE 959 Pearl • 343-2346 DIXIE CREEK SALOON 32994 Hwy. 99E, Tangent • 926-2767 DOC’S PAD 710 Willamette • 343-0224 DOWNTOWN ATHLETIC CLUB 999 Willamette St. DRIFTWOOD BAR & GRILL 5094 Main, Spfd • 988-4384 DUCK INN 1795 W. 6th • 302-9206 ELDORADO 3000 W. 11th • 683-4580 THE EMBERS 1811 Hwy 99 W. • 688-6564 EUGENE CITY BREWERY 844 Olive • 345-4155 EUGENE EAGLES 1375 Irving • 688-9471 EUGENE HILTON 66 E. 6th EXCELSIOR BISTRO 754 E. 13th • 342-6963 FALL CREEK TAVERN 40144 Big Fall Creek • 937-2962 FIRST UNITED METHODIST 1376 Olive FRIENDLY ST.
