Update (May 31): The Magpie Salute–the new 10-piece band that brings together Rich Robinson, Marc Ford and Sven Pipien of the Black Crowes with other musicians and singers from around the world–yesterday (5/30) premiered their music video for “Omission,” the lead single off the band’s self-titled debut album (out worldwide June 9 via Eagle Rock Entertainment). Scroll below to watch the video, which was directed by Matthew Sterling and shot in London. Rich Robinson says: “The overall idea was based on the light and dark aspects of the human psyche and taking a reference from the Magpie which has elements of the light and dark.”
Our original item on the Magpie Salute album and tour…
The new band called The Magpie Salute—which brings together Rich Robinson, Marc Ford and Sven Pipien of the Black Crowes—will release their self-titled debut album worldwide on June 9 via Eagle Rock Entertainment. Produced by Crowes guitarist and co-founder Robinson, the album was recorded live in the studio in front of an audience at Applehead Recording in Woodstock, N.Y., except for the full studio track “Omission.” The album carries special significance as it marks the last recorded work by Eddie Harsch, the late Black Crowes keyboardist.
Album pre-order is available here.

In advance of the album’s release, The Magpie Salute issued a 10-inch vinyl 45 single of “Comin’ Home” and “Glad and Sorry” on Record Store Day, April 22.

Great news. They sounded so good in the clips I saw from the NY shows. Really hoping they come back to NYC cause the 3 shows they played sold out quick.
