The Black Crowes Deliver With Before The Frost...Until The Freeze



The Black Crowes are back with another new record filled with tunes that will blow you away. Their songwriting has matured and working up in New York with Levon Helm has had a positive effect on the Robinson boys and their crew.

The album was recorded live at Levon's studios in Woodstock with a few of the Crowe's closet fans in attendance. What I would have given to be a part of that audience.

Before the Frost is an 11 song disc with all new songs that totally kick ass. From the start with "Good Morning Captain" to the last track "Last Place That Love Lies" this album is some of the best work they have done since The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion album. The highlight of the whole thing may be the 7+ minute long jam fest "Been A Long Time (Waiting On Love)"

OHHH but the Crowes are not through there. There is a second disc that will be available for free download, Until The Freeze. This offers another 9 songs, 8 originals and a sweet Stephen Stills cover, "So Many Times".

This is definitely a must have when it hits stores this Monday, August 31st.
