Warren Haynes recently stopped by The Black Crowes co-founding member Steve Gorman’s Fox Sports radio program Steve Gorman SPORTS! where he sat for an interview. Haynes punctuated the appearance by performing his song, “Is It Me Or You,” the opening track from his collaborative album with Railroad Earth, Ashes & Dust.
Haynes talked with Gorman about recording the LP which comes out July 24 on Concord Records, as well as the time he struck out baseball great Cal Ripken Jr. Watch the solo acoustic performance of “Is It Me Or You” below:
As teased above, Haynes told Gorman “I had quite a little curveball for a 13-year-old” about his baseball skills. Warren detailed his story about pitching against a 12-year-old Ripken Jr. and the way Haynes likes to remember it -he struck out.
