The Black Crowes
In late 1987, Gorman joined Chris Robinson, Rich Robinson, and Jeff Cease in the rock band Mr. Crowe's Garden. The group later added Johnny Colt and changed its name to the Black Crowes. In 1990, the Black Crowes released their debut studio album, "Shake Your Money Maker," which reached number four on the Billboard 200 and spawned the hit singles "Hard to Handle" and "She Talks to Angels." Cease left the band after recording the album, and was replaced by Marc Ford.
The Black Crowes released their second album, "The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion," in 1992. It reached number one on the Billboard 200 and number two on the UK Albums Chart. The band's next album was 1994's "Amorica," which was not quite as commercially successful. Following that was 1996's "Three Snakes and One Charm." Closing out the decade, the Black Crowes released "By Your Side," the first album with new bassist Sven Pipien. The band released one more album, 2001's "Lions," before going on a hiatus in 2002.
The Black Crowes reunited in 2005 without Gorman. He eventually returned, recording the band's 2008 studio album "Warpaint." Featuring new members Luther Dickinson and Adam MacDougall, the album debuted at number five on the Billboard 200. The Black Crowes subsequently released "Before the Frost…Until the Freeze" in 2009; it also debuted at number five on the Billboard 200. A couple of years after that album, Gorman, Dickinson, and MacDougall left the band. Gorman would return in 2012, playing with the band until its alleged "final" breakup in 2015.
