it should be on every one of those "albums of the year"-lists.

BTW, out of my head, I didn't mean to steal the Before The Frost-topic from you and find it quite funny you started another one. But why not if this one covers all future TBC-posting.

THE BLACK CROWES ANNOUNCE RELEASE OF NEW CD
AND GIVE FANS A FREE SECOND ALBUM

‘BEFORE THE FROST…UNTIL THE FREEZE’ DUE IN STORES SEPTEMBER 01, 2009

A LIMITED EDITION VINYL AVAILABLE


THE BLACK CROWES will release their new studio CD, Before the Frost... on September 1, 2009.

A second album, titled …Until The Freeze, will be given away for free exclusively through a unique download code which is included in Before The Frost… as a “thank you” to their fans for two decades of continued support.

Before the Frost..., and its corresponding free album …Until The Freeze, were recorded over a series of five nights at Levon Helm Studios in Woodstock, NY. Although both are studio albums, all the new material was performed and recorded in front of an intimate audience of the band’s fans, making them a part of The Black Crowes musical history.

The innovative technique of inviting fans into the studio as part of the process during recording is a rare experience.

Before the Frost... features eleven new and previously unreleased Black Crowes songs including Good Morning Captain, I Ain’t Hiding, Been a Long Time (Waiting on Love), and other original songs that will serve to spotlight the bands ability to make emotional connections through their music. The free album …Until The Freeze is a nine-song collection featuring eight new original Black Crowes songs plus a cover version of the Stephen Stills classic So Many Times.

A limited edition vinyl release of Before The Frost…Until The Freeze, featuring all 20 tracks, will also be available on September 1, 2009.

Chris Robinson conceived the concept of Before the Frost...Until The Freeze.
“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.”

As The Black Crowes approach the upcoming 20th anniversary of their release of one of rock’s most influential records, Shake Your Money Maker, which produced such hits as Jealous Again, She Talks To Angels and Hard to Handle, they are time and again hailed as one of Rock and Roll’s best live acts.

Know that, but it's my fav. BC pic.....

Very short review Uncut:

[www.uncut.co.uk]

After my very first listening... interesting ! I'm a huge fan and I liked how it sounds.

give something about 10 years before even bothering to call it a masterpiece - haven't heard this one yet, but it's been out for what? about 3 minutes?

Great album.both volumes!

And only $3.99 to download the whole thing at Amazon!

Very intriguing approach of recording.
looking forward to hear the new stuff.

it would be mindblowin' if the Stones did that.

Just one listening and... I love it!!!

Why don't you just start a Black Crappy Crowes forum?

It's waiting at my doorstep today when I come home. Can't wait.

You should be sleeping by now young man! Hush hush, back to bed!

For those who care, they're on Letterman tonight. I'm not a huge fan but I might check it out.

while there are still plenty of new albums to be released this year the crowes just knocked cheap trick off my number 1 spot. this album is brilliant. these guys are on fire right now

Saw them this year in A'dam - great gig. Kind of Exile on Main Street feeling. Wished the Stones would rock like they do
