[vietnow138]

Yeah they are bound to come up later on I think. I'm from LA and I heard that lake castic is about an hour away so I may go to that one?..

Yeah I just found out its near Six Flags Magic Mountain so I'll probably be attending that one too. Any word on ticket prices?

[Chief]

not that i know of yet. if i remember i will post that here

[Chief]

this came out this week and the quality is MUCH MUCH MUCH better than whats out there on Tall.  Amazing set of discs , check them out if you're a fan!!!

[MR.BROWNSTONE]

Thats cool they are doing that. I love it when a group makes a cd of never officially released songs and live. Great way to give back to the fans.

[Dr. Blutarsky]

Guess that is what happens when you run out of ideas. Sad, Crowes are an awesome band, can't come up with new killer stuff.........

[Chief]

I think its mainly a gift for the fans really.. they are working on a new album due out in 2007. They've been playing several of the new songs live recently too.  I still have high hopes that they can still come out with a great new album.

Guess that is what happens when you run out of ideas. Sad, Crowes are an awesome band, can't come up with new killer stuff.........

[justincrowe]

the "Band" disc is fucking killer... why they didn't release this back in the day is beyond me.

[Chief]

From what i read, the record company rejected it.. can you believe that crap?!?!
then they reworked some songs and made by your side which is far inferior, i think!

The Black Crowes begin recording new album

The Black Crowes are back in the studio to record their first album of new material for six years.

The as-yet-untitled LP is being penned in conjunction with producer and friend Paul Stacey in studios in New York and Los Angeles.

Chris and Rich Robinson reunited in 2005 after a four-year break, headlining the New Year's Eve show at Madison Square Garden in New York as well as playing sold-out gigs at venues including the Hammerstein Ballroom (also in New York) and the Henry Fonda Theatre in Los Angeles.

Further details of the release have not been confirmed, but it is expected that the album will be released later this year.

Hey ya'all -

I don't normally do this, but if you want - check out my Crowes fan board at http://amorica2.proboards83.com!

It started as an off-shoot to the official amorica board while it was down for around 2 months for maintenance. It's now pretty much a compliment to it. A lot of the same users are signed up there. Feel free to check it out!

CHRIS AND RICH ROBINSON OF THE BLACK CROWES TO RELEASE ?BROTHERS OF A FEATHER?
ACOUSTIC CD JULY 10 AND CD/DVD PACKAGE SEPTEMBER 4;



TWO PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED SONGS FEATURED;



SUMMER DATES FOR THE BLACK CROWES CONFIRMED





In April 2006 during a break in THE BLACK CROWES? touring schedule that ultimately encompassed 106 band shows, CHRIS and RICH ROBINSON performed a string of their first-ever full-length acoustic duo dates--in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Austin. Billed as ?Brothers Of A Feather: An Acoustic Evening with Chris & Rich Robinson of The Black Crowes,? the 12 concerts--all of which sold out in minutes--earned critical acclaim and were highlighted by three shows at The Roxy in Los Angeles. Those concerts were recorded and are now being officially released worldwide via Eagle Rock Entertainment in two configurations: BROTHERS OF A FEATHER will be available July 10 on CD with 14 tracks, while the CD/DVD package is due out September 4 and includes the live CD along with a 20-track DVD.



At these acoustic shows, Chris and Rich reached deep into their repertoire of Black Crowes favorites and also performed new songs (the previously unreleased ?Magic Rooster Blues,? ?Cold Boy Smile?) plus material from their respective solo albums (Chris? ?Someday Past The Sunset?; Rich?s ?Forgiven Song? and ?Leave It Alone?) and various covers. The mixes on the CD and DVD were done by Paul Stacey, who engineered with Kevin Harp.



These full-length acoustic shows gave Chris and Rich the opportunity, as singers and songwriters, to lend a new intimacy to their body of material as well as the cover songs that are an integral part of Black Crowes live performances.



Says CHRIS: ?The joy of our Brothers shows is the feeling that we are playing for friends?a place to open up and share something different from the archetypical mother earth rock ?n roll turn-on trip of The Black Crowes.?



Says RICH: ?It?s great to present these songs the way Chris and I wrote most of them almost twenty years ago. To have our fans sitting in on such intimate musical moments was an honor.?



Writing in Daily Variety about a New York show, Rich Nieciecki noted: ?The brothers meshed most intriguingly on the set?s passel of covers, which crossed genre lines with surprising grace, attesting to both their shared depth of historical knowledge and the fluidity with which they?re capable of shifting gears (4/18/06).? The shows were also embraced by a college publication like the Stony Brook Independent (emblematic of the band?s growing college audience): "?Brothers of a Feather? is certainly a sight to behold and a sound to endear?if Friday's show is any indication, they will go down in rock and roll history as some of the greatest performances ever played (4/15/06).?



As the Black Crowes tour America this summer (see dates below), fans who attend concerts in August through October will be presented with a coupon enabling them to purchase a discount copy of just the Brothers Of A Feather DVD.

THE BLACK CROWES TO RELEASE ?WARPAINT?

FIRST STUDIO ALBUM OF ALL NEW MATERIAL IN SEVEN YEARS

DUE OUT MARCH 4 ON THEIR OWN SILVER ARROW RECORDS LABEL,

DISTRIBUTED BY MEGAFORCE/SONY RED BMG

BAND TO PERFORM ?WARPAINT? IN ITS ENTIRETY ON LIMITED

?ONE NIGHT ONLY? SWING

From the beginning, THE BLACK CROWES have done things their own way. And it?s good to know that some things don?t change.

WARPAINT?the band?s first album of all-new studio material in seven years, due out March 4 worldwide?will be independently released on the band?s own newly formed Silver Arrow Records and distributed through Megaforce/Sony Red BMG. It?s their first studio release since the acclaimed LIONS album in 2001 (on V2).

Produced and mixed by Paul Stacey at Allaire Studios, Woodstock, NY, the album features 11 songs, all of which were written by CHRIS and RICH ROBINSON, except ?God?s Got It? by the Reverend Charlie Jackson. The album builds compellingly on the band?s trademark adventurous brew of rock, blues, country, soul and gospel.

WARPAINT marks the recording debut of two new band members?guitarist Luther Dickinson and keyboardist Adam MacDougall--who join CHRIS and RICH and drummer Steve Gorman and bassist Sven Pipien. Dickinson, of North Mississippi Allstars, officially steps in to replace producer/guitarist Paul Stacey, whose position with the band was always intended to be temporary. THE BLACK CROWES are deeply appreciative that Stacey committed his genuine talent and time to the band and their performances for most of 2007.

The album?s complete track listing is: ?Goodbye Daughters of the Revolution,? ?Walk Believer Walk,? ?O, Josephine,? ?Evergreen,? ?We Who See The Deep,? ?Locust Street,? ?Movin? On Down The Line,? ?Wounded Bird,? ?God?s Got It,? ?There?s Gold In Them Hills,? and ?Whoa Mule.?

CHRIS says the album?s title signifies ?the revolution that could take place in all our souls.?

Meanwhile, for the first time in their 18-year career, THE BLACK CROWES will perform an album of theirs in its entirety. On a special run of ?One Night Only? shows beginning on March 4, fans will experience WARPAINT performed in its entirety, after which the band will play songs from their catalog and selected surprises. Dates TBA.

THE BLACK CROWES will begin their world tour March 24 by headlining the Byron Bay Festival in Australia. They?ll continue their down under trek?their first since 1991?through April 5 before playing special engagements in Tokyo, Amsterdam and London, and concluding with shows in Hamburg and Cologne, Germany (dates TBA).

THE BLACK CROWES have sold over 20 million albums and are known as one of rock?s best live acts. They have been called ?The Most Rock n? Roll Rock ?n? Roll Band In the World? and a ?thoroughbred American rock ?n? freakin? roll band?; their panoramic live shows feature alternating set lists and signature incendiary musical explorations.
