Black Crowes-Wiser for the Time (live album) Has anyone heard this? It is not quite a new release (it was released in March) but I only found out about it recently. So far it is only available as a four album set or as a download. This was taken from five shows that they played in New York in October/November, 2010. I quite like the setlist and the performances but the sound is a little off. I think they could have cleaned it up just a little bit. There are a few semi-rareities ("Smile," "Darling of the Underground Press." "Exit," "Title Song," "Waiting Guilty") and some interesting covers ("Hot Burrito #1," "Hot Burrito #2," "Oh the Rain," "Tonight I'll be Staying Here with You," "Willin'") to make it a bit different from their previous live albums. I am hoping for an ecentual release on CD.
There's not a lot of talk about the Black Crowes here so I thought that I would get some started.

I was just listening to the Black Crowes the other day. I love Chris's voice. Desiigner "Panda" LES TWINS x YAK FILMS | Laurent ft Skitzo & Boom Squad Inglewood  (part 1)

Their second and third albums are fucken amazing. Other than "Josephine", Rich Robinson has run outta good/interesting musical ideas. | |

This is wrong on so many levels. "Before the Frost Until the Freeze" proves this dead wrong.

* Nope. Robinson's approach to songwriting hasn't changed much since Amorica. | |

Funny you mention them I listened to their 2nd CD yesterday. I've seen them twice In concert and he never disapoints, although stoned as hell he sounds great. Just Music-No Categories-Enjoy It! |

Some fans think that everything they did after Amorica/Three Snakes and One Charm is garbage. I am not one of them. I thought that Warpaint and Before the Frost/Until the Freeze were good-great albums and a nice "comeback." They are definitely a bit mellower now and I sometimes miss the harder/faster rock sound of The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion and, sure, I wish that Marc Ford was still with them but I have really enjoyed the last two albums. Others have said that they are now more Grateful Dead/The Band rather than The Rolling Stones/The Faces and I think that is a pretty good way to describe their current sound. | |

i haven't heard the new live album yet, but you can count me among their faithful. while there are albums that i prefer over others, i don't think they've made a bad album. i think i've nearly worn out sides 2 & 3 of croweology....i'd agree they're mellowing, but not necessarily in a bad way. before the frost... is great. i do hope that if the record any more new material, they rock the fuck out a bit more, though. i'd like more stuff with luther dickinson. he's a great fit. hopefully chris is getting his jam bandiness out of his system with the chris robinson brotherhood (whose 2 albums are also pretty darn good, if you're into the jam bandiness kind of thing). |
