June 10, 2009 - (NEW YORK) THE BLACK CROWES will release their new studio CD, Before the Frost... on August 31, 2009.

A free album, titled …Until The Freeze, will be available 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 sold-out nights at Levon Helm Studios in Woodstock, NY.  Although both are studio albums, all the new material was performed and recorded live in front of an intimate audience of the band’s fans, making them a part of The Black Crowes musical history.

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 for the recording of Before the Frost...Until The Freeze.
