UPDATE – August 28, 2009 – So I’ve had the privilege of listening to the first disc of the new Black Crowes effort Before the Frost a few days before it’s release.  Let me tell you that this blows their last album Warpaint (which I did enjoy) out of the water.  The album starts of with some great ol’ timey piano and you’re thinking “okay, this is going to be different” but then it changes right into this nasty hard rock riff and after you’re done listening to the first cut Good Morning Captain you can already tell that this album is going to be phenomenal… and it is.  I won’t write a review on it because I think music is one of those things where everyone should form their own opinions and it doesn’t really matter what anyone else thinks, but after 4 listens through the disc it has already bumped it’s way up to my 3rd favourite out of the Crowes albums (only Southern Harmony and Amorica are ahead of it in my opinion).  I can’t wait for Until the Freeze to be released on Monday.  Do yourself a favour and go pick up Before the Frost… Until the Freeze on August 31st.

Read the original post below.

A quick update to my post about The Black Crowes double album Before the Frost… Until the Freeze.  The Crowes have released their first single today and it’s called I Ain’t Hiding.   I’ll let you be the judge for yourself on what you think but the ever evolving Black Crowes have gone out on a limb with this one…  It’s a disco tune.  And after listening to it about 10 times today I kind of dig it.  I also think it’s cool that they’ve let you download it for free just to tide you over until the album is released on September 1st, 2009, although I’d hurry because I’m sure they will take it down once the album comes out.

Now I know for a fact that the remaining 19 songs on the double album are nothing like this and that the first disc Before the Frost is straight up Black Crowes rock… with one disco song of course, and the second disc (which is actually a free 9 song download) Until the Freeze has a bit more of a country twang to it.  So if the I Ain’t Hiding single throws you off a bit… just have a little patience for the rest of the goods.

Cheers!
