The Black Crowes Song Title: Thorn's Progress TBC Original? Yes Written By: Chris and Rich Robinson Recording Session: Southern Harmony And Musical Companion Record: Other Live Debut: 06/09/1992 Shows: 91 times played live Related Song: Thorn In My Pride Notes: Instrumental song that serves as the intro to "Thorn In My Pride" when played The studio version was recorded at Kingsway Studios in New Orleans, LA on 10/11/1992. It released as a b-side to the "Bad Luck Blue Eyes Goodbye" promotional single in May, 1993. ---------------------------------------- The above information was taken from www.crowesbase.com Tuning: DGDGBD (Open G) with a capo at the 4th fret. This is best know to fans as a live song that preceeds Thorn In My Pride, but the Black did record a studio version of it, and that studio version is what I have tabbed out The live versions over the years feature the main portion of the studio version (1:12) are often of a similar structure (free form intro and outro, structured jam in the to the studio song, but often include a major riff that was not part of the studio song. That riff is at the very bottom of this tab, and is labeled "Bonus Riff".
