"Stone the Crow" is a song by American heavy metal band Down and a single from their 1995 debut album, NOLA. It peaked at No. 40 on the US Mainstream Rock charts.[1] A video was also produced for the song.

Music video

[edit]

In an interview, guitarist Pepper Keenan was asked about the music video:

"We recorded that at a bar in Des Allemands, Louisiana. It was at a little bar and a place they called the shrimp boat graveyard. That was a trip doing that guitar solo on top of a half sunken shrimp boat. But yeah, we recorded that record at Ultrasonic Studio. Its a shame that that place is gone now. Anyway, it was the year we had the May flood. There's a picture of us in there with all our guitars on and water up to our knees. Yeah, that was a whole other story. I remember that Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown was recording there at the same time we were, and I helped him load his gear into the studio. He had a 45 strapped on his side, and he was smoking a pipe, and let me tell you it was not tobacco. That was kicks."[2]

Release and reception

[edit]

The song was released as the second single for the band's debut album and became their first and only radio hit, reaching No. 40 on the US Mainstream Rock Tracks.[1] The song is a staple at live shows and is regularly played as the second to last song.

Acoustic Version

[edit]

In 2002 the band recorded an acoustic version of "Stone the Crow" that was never officially released although it can be heard on YouTube.[3][4]
