"Twice As Hard" is a blues-influenced hard rock song by the American southern rock band The Black Crowes. From on their first album, Shake Your Money Maker, the song was released as a single in 1990 and reached the 11th position in the Mainstream Rock charts.
A music video directed by Pete Angelus was shot in 1990 to promote the single. It features the band, dressed in their classic vintage style, playing the song by night in some sort of mansion. The band is also shown having a daytime lunch during the guitar solo.[1]
In addition to being the first track on Shake Your Money Maker, "Twice As Hard" is also included on the Crowes' Greatest Hits 1990–1999: A Tribute to a Work in Progress greatest hits compilation.
