The copyright infringement notices allege that Gretchen Wilson and her songwriters have wrongfully exploited Chris and Rich Robinson's original composition of their hit song "Jealous Again" for her song entitled "Work Hard Play Harder". TNT has further exploited the use of the composition by using Wilson's song in video advertisement and promotion for the show "Saving Grace". "Jealous Again" was the lead single released in 1991 on The Black Crowes multi platinum debut album "Shake Your Money Maker".
Pete Angelus, longtime manager of The Black Crowes, had this to say: "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."
The Black Crowes are currently on tour in support of their album Warpaint.
