Shuffle Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 (edited) So the Black Crowes have announced their new album will be out March 4th and they've also announced tour dates in the US and Australia, and one each in New Zealand, England and Holland. Hopefully they'll come to Sweden later when the "real" tour begins They've already released the first single to the radio called "Goodbye Daughters of the Revolution" and you can listen to it on their homepage: http://www.blackcrowes.comPress release for the album and tour: http://www.blackcrowes.com/Release2008Tour.htmlI think the new single sounds great, not one of their best but still good. I'm really looking forward to the album Edited January 10, 2008 by izzystradlin' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JKKDARK Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 And I thought their sound was dated before only because this sound is not popular anymore? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pain cake Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 And I thought their sound was dated before only because this sound is not popular anymore?Generic riffs and lyrics which are all designed to sound like Aerosmith/Rolling Stones... yeah it's not exactly down with the kids Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCGNR Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 I'm looking forward to this. I was a big fan of their first few albums, but then I did kinda get sick of them. It's been awhile and I'm glad they're back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drops_of_jupiter Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 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 March 2 and wrapping March 20, fans will experience "Warpaint" — the group's first album of all new studio material in seven years, due out March 4 — in its entirety onstage, after which the band will perform songs from their catalog and selected surprises. A listing of these seven one-time-only tour dates is below, with the on-sale info. In the midst of this trek, the band will headline Stubbs March 15 at SXSW in Austin. THE BLACK CROWES launch their overseas tour March 24 when they headline the East Coast Blues & Roots Festival in Australia. They'll continue their Down Under trek — their first since 1991 — through April 5, and conclude with exclusive performances in London, UK at Brixton Academy April 9 and The Amsterdam Music Hall April 11. A major market multiple night U.S. tour will begin in May, with cities and venues to be announced in the near future. "Warpaint" marks the recording debut of two new band members — second guitarist Luther Dickerson, formerly of NORTH MISSISSIPPI ALLSTARS, and keyboardist Adam MacDougall — who join Chris and Rich and drummer Steve Gorman and bassist Sven Pipien. The album — which is being independently released on the band's own newly-formed Silver Arrow Records, distributed through Megaforce/Sony Red BMG — builds compellingly on the band's trademark adventurous brew of rock, blues, country, soul and gospel. 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. "Goodbye Daughters of the Revolution" is set as the album's first single and video; the song will arrive at radio on Monday, January 7. "One Night Only" tour dates: Mar. 02 - Sayreville, NJ - Starland Ballroom Mar. 04 - New York, NY - The Fillmore @ Irving Plaza Mar. 05 - Boston, MA - Somerville Theatre Mar. 07 - Chicago, IL - Park West Mar. 09 - Atlanta, GA - The Tabernacle Mar. 15 - Austin, TX - SXSW @ Stubb's BBQ (not part of the "One Night Only" shows) Mar. 19 - San Francisco, CA - The Fillmore Mar. 20 - Los Angeles, CA - The AvalonAlso: Australian Tour: Mar. 24 - Byron Bay, Australia - East Coast Blues & Roots Festival Mar. 26 - Perth, Australia - Challenge Stadium Mar. 28 - Adelaide, Australia - The Barton Theatre Mar. 29 - Melbourne, Australia - Palais Theatre Mar. 30 - Sydney, Australia - Hordern Pavilion Apr. 01 - Wollongong, Australia - Win Entertainment Centre Apr. 02 - Canberra, Australia - Royal Theatre Apr. 03 - New Castle, Australia - Civic Theatre Apr. 05 - Auckland, New Zealand - Logan Campbell Centre London and Amsterdam: Apr. 09 - London, England - Brixton Academy Apr. 11 - Amsterdam, Holland - Amsterdam Music HallHopefully I'll get tickets to the Brixton gig.

DirtyDeeds Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 I hope this album is more like their first couple albums. The band got boring as time went on. It was lame when they became a jam band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other ones aren't worth it.They have their merits. Even Live at the Greek. By Your Side is quality. Amorica and Three Snakes great as well. Also they did this acoustic session with Ry Cooder, if you can get a version of Boomer's Story its amazing.Definitely getting this album. Warpaint sounds like a Cult record title.

wasted Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 I saw them open for the Stones. They were quite relaxed at that point. I guess they'll be firing on all cylinders on this new tour. Firing on all cylinders? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuffle Posted January 15, 2008 Author Share Posted January 15, 2008 Now you can watch the video for Goodbye Daugthers of the Revolution on their website. The video is nothing special, just a bunch of pictures of the band... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shuffle Posted March 5, 2008 Author Share Posted March 5, 2008 So now it's been released It's great, a really good record. It's not their best but it's got a really nice laid back feeling and they keep their own sound but evolving and it's imo their best since the mid-90's... Recommended. I've only listened to it twice so maybe I'll be a bit more detailed when I've listened to it more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
