Drummer Bill Dobrow was Rich Robinson's bandmate in Hookah Brown.



Dobrow took over for Black Crowes drummer Steve Gorman after the latter had left the band in 2001.



Both teamed up in 2005 for The Black Crowes' reunion tour, though the band claimed to have hired Jeff Sipe as session drummer. The Crowes, led by brothers Chris and Rich Robinson, had not performed live since Halloween of 2001.
