Black Crowes Expand Tour, Reveal Lineup

As expected, the Black Crowes reunion has grown into a full-blown tour, and the band has finally unveiled details of the musicians who will back founding sibling duo Chris and Rich Robinson at the band's first gigs since October 2001.

Guitarist Marc Ford is back in the fold for the first time since 1997, while Bill Dobrow, who played with Rich Robinson in the short-lived band Hookah Brown, will take over for Steve Gorman on drums.

Bassist Sven Pipien returns for the first time since his less-than-amicable departure in 2000, while longtime keyboardist Eddie Hawyrsch will round out the group.

Great news! I hope that they'll make a kick-ass album, too!

Cool!  : ok:

I Love the black Crowes. They released two of the best records from the 90's.

Hopefully they will be adding some european dates soon there as well...

Which ones would they be, i plan to get some of their stuff but don't know which ones to get.

The Southern Harmony And Musical Companion AND Amorica are my favourites.

Great band... GO OUT AND SUPPORT TO BRING REAL ROCK BACK  : ok:

-BP

Amorica is an amazing record, but if I was you I'd first get my hands on Shake your money maker and The Southern Company and musical companion. Once The Crowes sound has grown into you, get Amorica then.

From Shake your money maker, check out the songs: Twice as hard, Sister Luck, Could I've been so blind, She Talks to angels ( beautiful acoustic)...damn this album is so good.

From The Southern... Remedy, Sting me, Sometimes Salvation ( IMO the best Black Crowes song tied with Wiser Time from the " Amorica") Bad Luck Blue Eyes ( Amazing finale)


Fun fact for you Izzy...guess who they toured with in America about 3 or 4 years ago? Oasis. That must've been a hell of a tour. Noel is a hard core fun of the Crowes.

yea its a crime how bands get forced to pair up.   ;D   

great band, have only heard shake your money maker right through, real rock and roll, worth the price of an album for sure... 

I would start off with shake your money maker then pick up amorica I don't think you'll be disappointed. great fucking band.

For a while, GNR and Black Crowes were the only Rock and Roll bands around outside of grunge.  Silvertide's first album is a heavy Shake your Money Maker.  In other news, Brother Cane is getting back together for atleast one show in B'ham.  Maybe they will do a tour as well.  They are awesome!

i'd agree that Southern Harmony and Amorica are their best cds but i'd pick up Shaky your Money maker first if you're a new fan.

also if anyone's interested i have a pretty good Black Crowes website here:

http://qfg.info/crowesnest.html

I picked up 1990-1999 A tribute to a work in progress....so good. I am going to pick up Amorica today.


This is pure rock n' roll. No frills, no synths, no stadium tours, its bar room rock n roll...like a shot of Jack Daniels and a hard drag on a Malboro Red.

hehe....I might just head down to Montgomery for ubilee Fest this year.

you won't be disappointed!!!

I just purchased two used Black Crowes cds marked with an original issue sticker. The titles are Shake Your Money Maker and Amorica(black backround). Anyone have an idea if these are worth anything or will be worth anything in the future? Also does anyone know how someone could tell if its an original issue or not?

Thanks,
-Chris

i think the original issue of Amorica was in a carboard type cover.  you'd have to go by catalog numbers to see though for sure.
i dont think they are really worth a lot though, personally.

p.s. i hope you also got southern harmony.

p.p.s. if you want to find out a ton more Crowes info check out my site:
http://qfg.info/crowesnest.html

Amorica had the Hustler photo as it's original cover, then was pulled from some places like K-Mart and a new cover issued after. I suppose the CD could be an original, but the artwork isn't, so I'd assume it's worth nothing.

Yeah i didnt think they'd be worth much since the store was aware that they were original issues, btw nice site.

Crowes Emerge From 'Fog' On Live DVD

The live footage shot by the Black Crowes during a multiple-night August 2005 stand at San Francisco's Fillmore Auditorium will finally see the light of day this spring. Due March 21 via Eagle Vision, the DVD "Freak 'N' Roll ... Into the Fog" rounds up 19 tracks from those shows, four of which were previously released in their entirety by Instant Live.

Songs are drawn from all the Crowes' six studio releases, from hits like "Remedy," "Hard To Handle," "She Talks to Angels" and "Sting Me" to more obscure fare like "Let Me Share the Ride," "Sunday Night Buttermilk Waltz" and opener "(Only) Halfway to Everywhere." The show ends with a cover of the Band's "The Night They Drove Ol' Dixie Down."

The Crowes have been off the road since their New Year's Eve show at New York's Madison Square Garden, but will return to live duty Jan. 29 in Orlando, Fla. The group will then pause until a March 12 appearance at the Langerado Music Festival in Sunrise, Fla., ahead of a five-date swing through London (March 18-19) and Amsterdam (March 22-24).

Here is the track list for "Freak 'N' Roll ... Into the Fog":

"(Only) Halfway to Everywhere"
"Sting Me"
"No Speak No Slave"
"Soul Singing"
"Welcome to the Goodtimes"
"Jealous Again"
"Space Captain"
"My Morning Song"
"Sunday Night Buttermilk Waltz"
"Cursed Diamond"
"She Talks to Angels"
"Wiser Time"
"Non Fiction"
"Seeing Things"
"Hard To Handle"
"Let Me Share the Ride"
"Mellow Down Easy"
"Remedy"
"The Night They Drove Ol' Dixie Down"

Great!

My favorite songs are there, Wiser time, Curse Diamond, Remedy...I will be buying this thing when it comes out.

I didn't know they played MSG on New Years. What's the current status of the band? Do they have any intentions of recording again?

I know they are playing a festival down here in Sunrise, FL in March with Ben Harper, Wilco, and a bunch of other bands.

I know they have been working on new songs. Supposedly they will be going into the studio sometime later this year, but nothing concrete on that yet....

 They should release a DVD of their late 1990/eary 91 performance on MTV Unplugged. It was one of the best performances from that series.

Nice, have always liked TBC & have been to several of their concerts. Things got pretty stale for them in the late 90's, hopefully they can produce something inspired once again. I always thought they were somewhat held back by not having a monster lead guitar player, cause they certainly had everything else!

Yes, i do also hope they release some older video/performances on dvd but this show is pretty sweet!

and btw, they do have a Monster Guitar player, his name is Marc Ford.  you can hear him ripping up solos on several albums (esp. the 2nd one, Southern Harmony) and all over the last tour!!
he's not in your face like many hard rock guys but this dude can PLAY!

Good thing I checked their website. They are playing at the Hard Rock in Orlando tomorrow night : ok:

Oh yeah, i definitely know all about Marc Ford & SH&MC is a classic album & TBC best IMO. Maybe it because the brothers controlled things or whatever, but after Amorica, I thought they kind of sucked. It seems like they almost regressed in a way & they never put out that Freebird, end of show type song where the guitars take over & bring it home. But whatever, I still luv'm.

yeah i kinda agree with you there. they had a Ton of problems in the band including heavy drug usage, ego conflicts and so on.. luckily they were able to get past that, do some solo stuff in between and reunite, even if it was to make some more money as part of the deal.

Around And Around (1st time played)

The Black Crowes played for an hour and a half, what passes for a full show for most bands now-adays, but they werent done yet. After a fifteen minute break, they came out for another hour and a half. Picking which set was better is like picking which of your kids you like better, cant be done.

Chris was in great voice all night, and put on an extremely energetic show. The man doesn't stop moving/dancing. He even remained on stage for all the extended jam sessions (and there were quite a few) just dancing around and urging the crowd on. Marc Ford was a revelation and easily the star of the night. The person who mentioned before that they dont have a "monster lead guitar player" needs to check them out now.

The only thing that was missing was no piano/keyboard player. Alot of the die-hards that were in the audience seemed bothered by it, but also had to admit that it didnt take that much from the show by the end of the evening. If nothing else it probably brought alittle bit more out of Marc Ford's guitar playing inorder to fill some spots where there would normally be a piano or keyboard playing.

A great night. I cant wait to get this DVD and to see them again in March.

I guess I said that becuase I only attended shows in the later 90's & they always had some white afro guy who seemed to play second fiddle to Rich.  The shows were still great (how could they not be), but I don't think Marc Ford was playing with them then? Maybe he was, cause i was always pretty stoned.

Also, what happened to eddie harsch? Wasn't he way older than the rest of the band?

I'm not too good with the Black Crowes history, but you are correct, Marc Ford wasnt with the band then. From what some people at the show were saying, it appears Eddie is no longer with the band.

i was reading up about this, and Eddie the keyboardist wasn't at the show for some reason that isn't known at this point. I'm thinking it was a personal thing or family emergency, hopefully nothing serious happened!

as for Marc Ford - he was in the band from 92-97 and was kicked out due to drug problems.  From 98-01 Audley Freed replaced him and then they went on hiatus until March 2005 when they reunited with Ford, which I honestly thought would never happen so i was and am still really excited!!!
one of the coolest things i've ever seen was at 2 nights in a row last year, they played the shows and didn't repeat a single song!!!

Thanks for the history lesson : ok:

I just knew Marc Ford wasn't the guitarist when I saw them open for Aerosmith in 90.
I was really impressed that they only played about 3 songs that were big radio hits. Most of the time after each song, they would huddle up and discuss what they wanted to play next. This show had the feel of an unscripted jam session.

that is awesome!!! wish i had got into them back then... 

as an aside, if anyone is interested, check out my Crowes website here:

http://qfg.info/crowesnest.html

A little bit of trivia for you guys...

Mark Ford played with Ben Harper a while back. I saw Ben playing in Madrid in May/04. Marc Ford was his guitarist. I haven't seen many guitar players as skilled as this guy.

I don't know if he is still involved with Harper (Ben's site still says so) though. Speaking of which, new album "Both sides of the gun" is coming out March 21st.

I've seen him with Ben harper also.. great stuff, he is really talented. he also has a solo album which is pretty good, worth checking out:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0001HN57W/sr=1-1/qid=1138827991/ref=pd_bbs_1/002-4438151-7936826?%5Fencoding=UTF8

http://www.marcford.net


I don't think he is doing much with Harper at this point but he did appear on 2 DVDs of Ben Harper plus the album he did with the Blind Boys of Alabama a little while back called There Will be a Light.

Bump!!! came out this week.. great stuff on this thing people, it kicks ass!!!!

Looks like I know what my next DVD purchase will be.  Thanks for the reminder!

THE BLACK CROWES
WITH SPECIAL GUESTS
ROBERT RANDOLPH & THE FAMILY BAND
AND
DRIVE-BY TRUCKERS;
NINE-WEEK TREK ROLLS OUT JUNE 10 IN SEATTLE

On the heels of CHRIS and RICH ROBINSON's three
sold-out nights of acoustic performances in New York
City to ecstatic fans and lengthy standing ovations,
THE BLACK CROWEShave announced a major summer
headlining tour with their special guests Robert
Randolph & The Family Band and Drive-By Truckers.
Launching June 10 in Seattle, the nine-week trek will
visit mostly sheds--including Jones Beach (New York),
PNC Bank (New Jersey), Shoreline (San Francisco),
Tweeter Center (Boston) and Cynthia Woods
(Houston)--as it criss-crosses the U.S. into
mid-August.

Each night of CHRIS and RICH's ?Brothers Of A Feather:
An Acoustic Evening With Chris & Rich Robinson of The
Black Crowes? has sold out within minutes after going
on sale. The two-week trek--which marks the first time
the brothers have ever performed full-length acoustic
sets in their 16-year career--concludes April 26 in
Los Angeles after a three-night stand at The Roxy.
While in New York, CHRIS and RICH performed at three
different venues: Warsaw, Rose Theater @ Jazz at
Lincoln Center and Town Hall.

"'Brothers of a Feather' is certainly a sight to
behold and a sound to endear. Although there are only
eleven dates booked for the tour, if Friday's show is
any indication, they will go down in rock and roll
history as some of the greatest performances ever
played," reports the Stony Brook Independent (4/15/06)
about the brothers' show at Rose Theater @ Jazz at
Lincoln Center.

Meanwhile, the band's first-ever DVD FREAK 'N'
ROLL...INTO THE FOG roared out of the box, debuting at
#2 on Billboard's Music Video chart. A film crew
captured THE BLACK CROWES performing five sold-out
nights at San Francisco's historic Fillmore Auditorium
in August 2005. Writing in the SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE
about one of the shows, Joel Selvin noted that "The
Black Crowes never sounded better than it did Saturday
at the Fillmore Auditorium, the peak performance of a
sold-out five-night run...(the band) definitely staked
a claim in these Fillmore shows as one of the last of
the classic rock bands? (8/8/05).

Since reuniting and re-connecting with their loyal
fans last year, THE BLACK CROWES have been performing
what some called "the best shows of their career."
While they achieved a career watermark by headlining
their New Year's Eve show at Madison Square Garden,
the band--Chris (vocals), Rich (guitars), Marc Ford
(guitars), Eddie Hawrysch (keyboards), Sven Pipien
(bass) and Steve Gorman (drums)--also played seven
sold-out shows at New York City's Hammerstein
Ballroom, performed five-nights at the Henry Fonda
Theatre in Los Angeles and were headliners at three of
the most prestigious festivals in America (New Orleans
Jazz and Heritage Festival, Bonnaroo, and Austin City
Limits Festival). Summing up the allure of THE BLACK
CROWES' concert experience, Mikael Wood of The Village
Voice (12/28/05) said the band "remain one of rock's
best live acts, as hard-grooving as during their
heyday and caked with an extra layer of rambling-man
soulfulness."

THE BLACK CROWES GO INTO THE VAULT FOR THE LOST CROWES


Two-Disc Collection Features Sessions for
Two Unreleased Black Crowes Albums Tall and Band
Plus the DVD Debut of the Band?s 1992 Home Video

Available August 29 From Rhino

LOS ANGELES ? Twice The Black Crowes have recorded albums that were never officially released: Tall in 1993 and Band in 1997. While a few songs from these lost albums were rerecorded and released on studio albums, many have emerged only through the band?s legendary live shows. The Black Crowes recently went into the vault, collecting the best moments from those abandoned sessions for a special treat for their longtime fans. Titled THE LOST CROWES, it is a two-disc set of unreleased music that has been remixed for its public debut on Rhino. The compilation will be available August 29 at all retail outlets and at www.rhino.com for a suggested retail price of $24.98. The same day, the band?s 1992 home video, WHO KILLED THAT BIRD OUT ON YOUR WINDOW SILL, will make its DVD debut on Rhino Home Video for a suggested retail price of $14.99.

In fall of 1993 vocalist Chris Robinson, guitarists Rich Robinson and Marc Ford, drummer Steve Gorman, bassist Johnny Colt, and keyboardist Ed Harsch recorded more than 30 songs at Conway Studios in Los Angeles. Working on the follow-up to Southern Harmony And Musical Companion, the band descended into an emotional, startlingly heavy creative patch that became a stepping-stone to the 1994 album, amorica.

Named after an old jazz term for getting high, the Tall sessions contain a total of 16 unreleased tracks that offer an unflinching glimpse into rough and beautiful music born from turmoil and tension. THE LOST CROWES includes early versions of seven amorica songs such as ?A Conspiracy,? ?Descending,? ?Wiser Time? and ?Cursed Diamond.? The collection also features the undiscovered classics ?Tied Up And Swallowed,? ?Feathers,? ?Thunderstorm 654? and ?Lowdown,? a sad lost anthem that became ?Ballad In Urgency.?

Four years later, the band came off the road after headlining the Furthur Festival and went into a Nashville studio to record songs for a planned follow-up to 1996?s acclaimed Three Snakes & One Charm. Where Tall thrives on the mayhem of their young Los Angeles days, Band confidently probes some of The Black Crowes? most mature, thoughtful work.

The Band sessions contain 10 songs including a different version of the B-side ?Peace Anyway,? plus ?If It Ever Stops Raining,? a song that would become the title-track to the 1999 album By Your Side. The compilation also spotlights the taut riff rock of ?Paint An 8,? the windblown ache of ?Wyoming & Me? along with the freaky-longhaired-Mother Earth grooves of ?Another Roadside Tragedy,? ?Grinnin? and ?Life Vest.?

Paul Stacey has remixed all of the music on THE LOST CROWES, which also includes liner notes spotlighting the stories behind these legendary lost sessions as told by the Robinsons.

The Black Crowes released its first home video, WHO KILLED THAT BIRD OUT ON YOUR WINDOW SILL, in 1992 while touring for the band?s sophomore album. Rhino Home Video will release a remastered and expanded version of the video on DVD that features live performances, interviews, backstage and studio footage, videos from the group?s first two albums, and additional bonus features.

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!!!

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.

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.........

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.

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

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.

2007 is looking pretty good. cant wait to see what happens with this. thanks for the news!

yeah!!!

? ?too bad the album will be finnished after 13 years of recording

  c-ya in 2020 (look at how crazy that looks 2020!!)

listening to some stuff by them now, its great, feels like 60s anti war music, its great!

its got soullll and jessuuusss

I just read that their album is now due in 2008 and this year they will be touring sporadically as well as preparing a release of a cd and dvd of just Chris and Rich playing acoustic.

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!  :peace:

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 Brothers Of A Feather CD track listing is as follows:



1. Horsehead (Chris Robinson/Rich Robinson)

2. Cursed Diamond (Chris Robinson/Rich Robinson)

3. Over The Hill (John Martyn)

4. Magic Rooster Blues (new Chris Robinson/Rich Robinson)

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. Catch up with the band at www.blackcrowes.com

Chief, meet me at The Avalon!  I saw Chris Cornell there, and it's a fantastic venue!

I can't wait!  I've been having withdrawals since October!

Can't fucking wait. Love the crowes. i gotta make sure to catch em at starland here in Jersey. Only seen em live once before.

Got my ticket.  Will be front row for this baby.  ;D

Damn, I went to box office at noon when tickets went on sale (irving plaza) and there was a huge line and about 10 people to go, and it sold out!  So, try to line up early folks.

Why didn't you try Ticketmaster?

Unless it was a box office only sale.

Because I'm a dumbass....and because I live right near the box office and thought it would be easier. When I bought my ticket to see them at Central park summerstage last summer, I was able to go up to box office and buy ticket no problem.  I'll still go, I'll just get my tick on craig's list closer to show.

Craig's List is the best!  Hope you don't have to fork over too much for your tickets!

These shows are going to be amazing.

AMERICAN RECORDINGS CATALOG WILL BE AVAILABLE DIGITALLY

FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER





Tickets for the THE BLACK CROWES? special ?One Night Only? shows in New York, New Jersey, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Boston and Atlanta all sold out within minutes, with some of the venues reporting record sell-outs.



For the first time in their 18-year career, THE BLACK CROWES are performing an album of theirs in its entirety. On a special run of these ?One Night Only? shows beginning March 2 and wrapping March 20, fans will experience WARPAINT--the group?s first album of all new studio material in seven years--in its entirety onstage, after which the band will perform songs from their catalog and selected surprises.

March 4 is not only the day that WARPAINT hits stores; it?s the day when THE BLACK CROWES? prized American Recordings catalog will be available digitally for the first time ever via iTunes. The catalog includes their first five studio albums beginning with 1990?s six-million selling SHAKE YOUR MONEY MAKER, a pivotal work that kick-started an authentic style of rock and roll in America, with the U.K.?s Melody Maker promptly hailing them as ?The Most Rock n? Roll Rock ?n? Roll Band In the World.? The catalog also encompasses SOUTHERN HARMONY AND MUSICAL COMPANION, AMORICA, THREE SNAKES AND ONE CHARM, BY YOUR SIDE and the 1998 box set SHO? NUFF, which included a 5-song live EP, plus last year?s previously unreleased double disc THE LOST CROWES.



In a BLACK CROWES cover story in the new issue of Relix magazine, Anthony DeCurtis hails WARPAINT as ?The group's most confident and instantly appealing album since the raw, raucous Shake Your Money Maker first brought the group national attention in 1990."



WARPAINT marks the recording debut of two new band members--second guitarist Luther Dickinson, of North Mississippi Allstars, and keyboardist Adam MacDougall--who join CHRIS and RICH and drummer Steve Gorman and bassist Sven Pipien--and builds compellingly on the band?s trademark adventurous brew of rock, blues, country, soul and gospel.

Here's a very good article from jambase:

http://www.jambase.com/Articles/Story.aspx?StoryID=13015

the band have launched a huge internet marketing campaign.

and have created there own official myspace.
 http://www.myspace.com/theblackcrowes

I think thats a new song on the top of the songs list you can stream?

sounds good to me, very laidback though.

Maxim Apologizes for Black Crowes Review

NEW YORK (AP) ? Maxim magazine has apologized for publishing a negative review of the Black Crowes' new album by a writer who hadn't listened to the whole CD.

Full story: http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5hHOAjk5E7X13mmzngI4wUdwCZZJQD8V25PNG1 (http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5hHOAjk5E7X13mmzngI4wUdwCZZJQD8V25PNG1)

 :no:




/jarmo

For shame.  Most journalists shouldn't even be allowed to pick up a pen.

No ones posted what they think of the BC new track yet, thoughts people?

I like it, but i hope the rest of the album isnt as trippy and laid back as that. On there earlier albums they balanced it well, laid back trippy songs and some great blues rocker tracks.  So i hope WARPAINT is like it, and not like that Three Snakes And One Charm album, way way too much weed smoked during those sessions i think.

Goodbye Daughters of the Revolution?

I like it a lot.  It's very catchy and is a well balanced track.

Everything on 3 snakes is very hit or miss with me. Still some of my favorite black crowes songs ever tho. "Under a Mountain" and "Girl From A Pawnshop" are amazing. My bloods starting to itch as we get closer to warpaints release.

Just finished listening to Warpaint for the first time. Fucking fantastic. how dare Maxim even pretend this album is bad. Sets the bar high for any thing else coming out this year, might be the best thing we get if CD doesn't come out.

Gonna go get Wapaint after my doctors appointment.  :smoking:

I just picked this up too and I'm LOVING it...


Some stunning bluesy/rock stuff on there. 

I just finished it. Damn good. It might not hit with those that were looking for a total return to their Shake Your Money Maker sound, but its solid start to finish. It actually reminds me of Chris' last solo album The Magnificent Distance. By the way, I love the crow logo in the fold out. That might be my next tattoo.

They will never return to the shake your moneymaker sound.   It was their first album, a very different era and they were a lot younger, plus the fact that it was a different band lineup.
Plus, from album to album there have always been some stylistic changes in their music.

And thats just fine with me. I just always hear people complaining that they want them to make another album like that one. Move on people.  Hmmmmm, sounds familiar ::)

yup, i'm with you on that one.. i hate rehashing the same thing over and over.  i think taking risks is the only way to expand and be great.

by wanting them to sound like there earlier days (first 3 albums) i mean the more upbeat faster rocky songs. Rather than an album of stoned out slow blues tracks.

I dunno if it's cause I have been listening to it for so long but I actually think SYMM is a little boring compared to their other work. Great album and all but I wouldn't want them to ever try to make it again. Very happy with warpaint.


I don't think Warpaint sounds like that tho. It actually reminds me of Sticky Fingers Era stones.

i dont think it sounds like that though either because i havent heard it lol.

im just saying, i hope it doesnt sound really boring.

Fuck no dude, you will really enjoy it!

I'm still having a hard time picking my favorite song!

EDIT: I think I am going to have to go with Evergreen for now.  ;)

Evergreen is reeeeal fuckin good. I actually am big on God's got it right now.

I haven't skipped one track yet after giving the album multiple spins.

The bassline during the chorus of Walk Believer Walk is the coolest I have heard in years.

Same with me. I've listened 5 times start to finish, not skipping a track.

I am leaning towards Wounded Bird as my favorite at the moment.

listening to it atm. only on third track. so far its what i didnt want it to be. Too laid back. I hope it picks up a little bit.


-------------------
much further in. Too much pot guys, too much pot.  I think Chris n co walked into a haze of ganja smoke and never came back out on this one. The songs are good, but a whole album of this pace can be quite tiresome. :no:

----------
further edit. Kinda not to do with the new album, who else loves the song "peace anyway" i think its a unreleased one. I think its a great song.

Just wanted to post a few updates.

The L.A. show has been moved from The Avalon to The Wiltern due to overwhelming demand for tickets.

And...

http://www.blackcrowes.com/liveblackcrowes.html

And a question.

Has anyone seen them on this tour so far?

24 hours until the show!

What an amazing weekend.

I was front row in front of Rich at the Wiltern, an amazing concert!

I saw them on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.

And on Saturday, I saw ex-guitarist Marc Ford at my local blues bar down the street.

Wow.  :drool:

I cant believe you're not deaf after standing in front of Rich!

Black Crowes mulling next album

http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/news/the-black-crowes-mulling-next-album-1003917006.story

looks like the Crowes will be recording soon according to this!!

http://www.rollingstone.com/rockdaily/index.php/2008/12/29/levon-helm-thrilled-black-crowes-will-record-new-lp-at-his-ramble-studio/

Sorry to bump, but I just snagged the "Warpaint" album and I think it is a very solid effort.  Too bad the back LP's are selling for crazy amounts on ebay otherwise I'd take a trip down memory lane with those too.

Glad you like it.  I really hope they build on Warpaint and make the next one even better.

The Crowes have a new live release coming also!

Sat-Nov-28
   

Los Angeles, CA
   

Club Nokia @ LA Live

yup.. I'm not sure about S.D. yet but it's very possible!!!

Wasn't crazy about Warpaint, so I hope they take this in a different direction.

Really?  What was it you didn't like?  I still play Warpaint every once in awhile and enjoy it.

Well, I can't really answer that, because I haven't played it in a while.  I'm sure i"ll give it another try at some point.

OK!  See ya!

The new album is definitely in a different direction.. first of all they recorded it live and it has for the most part a country/folky inclination to it.

NICE! yeah, i think there are still tickets because the show is so far off and it wasn't really advertised much at all!  it will probably sell out in due time.
get san diego too, that is a pretty small venue from what i hear!

My friend just told me it came out today! they made it earlier by 1 day for some reason!  just picked up the new album and looking forward to hearing it!!!

Also, FYI in case anyone missed this:


If you buy the CD, you also get a download code to get the 2nd album, Until the Freeze, for free!
i just downloaded the flac version!    :beer:

edit :  apparently the amazon deal is over now.

But, here's a clip from letterman!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZK99JCK69Ss

How's this for good publicity?

 (CNN) -- Kate Hudson's ex, Black Crowes rocker Chris Robinson, is going to be a dad again, a representative for the band confirmed in a statement Tuesday.
Chris Robinson and girlfriend Allison Bridges will be having a child in early 2010.


Robinson and girlfriend Allison Bridges, who have been dating for two years, are expecting their first child in early 2010, the statement said.

The baby will be the 42-year-old frontman's second child --? he and Hudson have a 5 1/2-year-old son, Ryder Russell, together.

Hudson and Robinson were married for six years and their divorce was finalized in October 2006. They were granted joint custody of their son.

Robinson and his brother Rich formed the band that would eventually become the Black Crowes in the 1980s.

The Crowes' new album, "Before the Frost . . . Until the Freeze," is in stores now.

Here is a new feature on Jambase -

http://www.jambase.com/Articles/19707/The-Black-Crowes-Shine-Along

Press Release 10/28/09 - New York

THE BLACK CROWES will release their new DVD,  Cabin Fever on November 24,
2009 on the bands own label, Silver Arrow.  The DVD includes footage
from the recording sessions that ultimately became their critically
acclaimed new CD, Before the Frost?Until the Freeze.  The innovative
technique of inviting fans into the studio to become part of the
process during recording is a rare experience and prudently, the band
filmed the sessions.  Before the Frost?Until the Freeze  was recorded
over a series of five nights in front of an intimate studio audience at
Levon Helm Studios in Woodstock, NY.  The DVD of those sessions, Cabin
Fever takes that experience one step further by allowing viewers to see
behind the scenes footage of both the recording and songwriting
sessions along with interaction between the band and the audience. The
DVD gives fans that didn?t have the opportunity to attend the ability
to feel the experience firsthand.  EXCLUSIVELY on the DVD will be THE
ORIGINAL Little Lizzie Mae as well as COVERS of Velvet Underground?s Oh
Sweet Nuthin & Fred Neil?s Dolphins.  The DVD will also include
the tracks  Aimless Peacock, Good Morning Captain, Appaloosa, and Been
a Long Time (Waiting on Love) among others from Before the Frost?Until
the Freeze,  Chris Robinson conceived the concept of both Before the
Frost?Until the Freeze, and the DVD, Cabin Fever:  ?I think we
fulfilled a musical commitment to continue on the golden road of
artistic independence. Approaching 20 years into our careers, we still
are ambitious enough to push ourselves to create something unique that
we have never done before.?
