"We find the musical verses of Wilson's song to be such an obvious example of copyright infringement that I expect all parties to reach a relatively quick resolution to avoid litigation," reports Pete Angelus, longtime manager of the Black Crowes.
There is no response yet from Wilson's camp. She has filmed a video for the song, which is being shown in an advertisement on TNT, TBS, truTV and in Regal Cinemas. (Watch it here.)

I guess they have the same Melody ... SO WHAT! .... is this going to cost the Crowes any money? ... NO! ... Do you think someone will go to I-Tunes to buy "Jealous Again" ... and then change their mind and buy her record? ... NO! ... it's the He's so Fine/My Sweet Lord BS ... every song sounds like some other song. The Crowes are Washed up ... this makes them "someone again" Hey! I'm gonna write a song now!

Gretchen does not have to steal from anyone much less the crows. I listened to both and there is no comparison

The Black Crowes stole their guitar riff for "Twice As Hard" from Led Zepplin's "Travelin' Riverside Blues".

Everybody gets artistic ideas from listening to everybody elses's musice. At what point can you scream "Copyright Infringement"? I mean, when is it emulation, and when is it blatant rip-off?? I've listened to both; IMHO, the Crowes are being a little too picky on this one...

If you listen to the two, the likeness is stiking. What a rip off. Gretchen Wilson took my favorite rift and ruined it.

i don't know where you've been hiding to think the black crowes are all washed up! they still rock! so does gretchen. she's probably a fan of theirs since her song sounds so similar. the similarity is so obvious...she just should've got permission.

you are probably the only person on earth who is so tone deft that you could say that. By the way can you sing?

Daily Dose of Style is back in full swing and ready to tackle on new fashion dilemmas, season standouts and much more! Today, let's take on a personal issue of mine. The problem: I'm in a wardrobe rut and have been for the past several weeks. You ever have those periods of time where you hate everything in your closet, or absolutely bored of it? Ugh! And since I'm still recovering from my holiday spending (ahem, over-spending), I can't just splurge on new clothes to solve my apparel angst. The solution: Layering! Playing with layers can produce outfits for you that feel totally new. I have to admit I haven't mastered this form of art yet. I need to schedule some playtime in my closet in fact. Look below. This is what I'm taking about. Topping your old dress with a cardigan, vest and scarf updates a once-drab dress... and makes the outfit all the more interesting! How do you layer? Tell me below! Stay tuned by the way for voguetouch Shopping's Guide to Layering coming in February!
