Notes: This song was recorded in July, 2007 at Allaire Studios, Shokan, NY. It was
by Paul Stacey and The Black Crowes.
“It's probably the song I'm most proud of on this album. The last verse sums up a lot
too late to play it safe/So let's let it all ride’]. That's our attitude. There's no
for anybody here to ever hold back. We're doing this full bore, and it's gonna be open.
always thought our best writing was our ballads. People want to identify the Black
as
guitar band–which we are–but I think ‘Oh Josephine’ is the quintessential Black Crowes
and the coda at the end says, ‘We know who we are.’ It's one of those songs you can put
at 5:30 in the morning and decide whether you're going to keep going or put it
down for the night.” - Chris Robinson
