What a difference two decades make!

Event Details

Phil Leadbetter sent along a pair of photographs of J.D. Crowe & The New South, taken twenty years apart.

The first is a band promotional photo taken in 1995 when he was in the group with Crowe, Richard Bennett, Don Rigsby, and Curt Chapman. The guys are reassembling for select dates this season, going as the J.D. Crowe Flashback Band, as that is the title of the album they recorded together. The second photo is taken to promote that fact.

Can you see any differences between them?

J.D. Crowe & The New South circa 1995

J.D. Crowe & the Flashback Band, 2015

I’d say these boys held up pretty well.
