Lawyers for the Black Crowes have served copyright infringement notices to Gretchen Wilson, TNT, Sony BMG and publishing company J Money Music over the band's 1991 hit "Jealous Again."
The Crowes claim Wilson exploited the track for her own song, "Work Hard, Play Harder," which TNT in turn then used in ads for its show "Saving Grace."
"Work Hard, Play Harder" is slated to appear on Wilson's next studio album, due before the end of the year.
"We find the musical verses of Wilson's song to be such an obvious example of copyright infringement that I expect all parties to reach a relatively quick resolution to avoid litigation," Crowes manager Pete Angelus says in a statement.
A spokesperson for Wilson had no comment on the development.
