"Stone the Crow" is the debut single by heavy metal band Down off their 1995 debut album, NOLA. It peaked at #40 on the US Mainstream Rock Charts.[1] A video was also produced for the song.
Music video
In an interview Pepper Keenan was asked about the music video, he replied with the following:
| “ | "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
The song was released as the lead single for the band's debut album and became the band's first and only radio hit, reaching #40 on the US Mainstream Rock Tracks. The song is a staple at live shows and is regularly played as the second to last song.
