Gretchen Wilson lawsuit

On July 30, 2008, the Black Crowes filed a lawsuit against country singer Gretchen Wilson, claiming that she infringed upon their copyright for the song "Jealous Again". The suit also included claims against her label, her publisher, and TNT, who is using the song in promotional commercials. They claim that Wilson copied the Crowes hit when she recorded "Work Hard, Play Harder". The lawsuit was eventually settled out of court for an undisclosed sum^[3] and Black Crowes members Chris and Rich Robinson were given songwriting credits on "Work Hard, Play Harder."^[4]
