It seemed as though Magpie Salute (which featured the reunion of Marc and fellow guitarist Rich Robinson – former Black Crowemates) was headed for good things, but when the band came off the road in February of 2019, everybody was feeling pretty beat up.
They’d basically been touring for two years, but there was more to it than that, says Marc: “The band was great, but it’s discouraging when you throw everything you have at it and for whatever reason it isn’t working. Certain people knew things a lot earlier than anyone else did, but we were all sensitive to it ... it was going bad and you could feel it.”
Marc and the rest of the Magpies were told the band wouldn’t be touring for the rest of the year, which was no surprise, he says. “Rich and I still talked on the phone about things now and then ... but little by little we talked less and less. Then one day I tried to call him and the number had changed.”
Shortly after that, Marc and his bandmates found out – along with the rest of the world – that Rich had reunited with brother Chris Robinson to fire the Black Crowes back up ... with a completely new set of musicians backing them

Nice one!
Magpie Salute is a fantastic band - their live album is great. Wasn't quite so keen on Chris Robinson's Brotherhood - sad that Neal Casal from that band committed suicide too
I like it, good that they are together, but I'd rather see Marc Ford involved and new material. Perhaps the latter will happen, these are really good songs but I'm more interested in new music.
Seriously though I think him back with the Crowes is a recipe for relapse. Ace the chap from Earthless is playing with them as he happily rips 15min long pentatonic solos any day of the week!
