On Friday previous, I drove an hour up the road to London, Ontario to pick up my dear friend Blake. It was a great chance for me to catch up on some old favourites as I was trucking down the highway. What I didn't realize, is that I seem to have standardized driving music (which is a playlist entitled "Ass-Kickery," comprised of all my heavy metal favourites as to keep my awake on a boring drive on the 402).

Warpaint is the blues and southern rock at its best. After six years the Crowes haven't lost it at all.

Oh, and the Pulitzer goes to: "It's either an educated guess preview or no coverage at all, so in this case we chose the former." -Maxim editor via email, in response to a seemingly fraudulent album review of an album they did not possess. Brilliant. -J from www.blackcrowes.com MAXIM MAGAZIN... MORE
The Black Crowes will release their first album in seven years Warpaint independently on March 4th via the band’s own newly-formed Silver Arrow Records. Warpaint is the follow-up to the Black Crowes 2001's flop Lions which peaked at Number 20 in the US and sold less than any other Crowes album. During the seven year hiatus frontman Chris Robinson formed Chris Robinson & the New Earth Mud and released two albums: a self-titled album in 2002 and This Magnificent Distance in ... MORE
