Less than a year after their last appearance at Clearwater's stately Ruth Eckerd Hall, New York-based blues rockers The Black Crowes return for another round on Wednesday, October 7, with Truth & Salvage Co. to open. Tickets are $40.50 and $68, and sales begin at noon this Friday, July 24.
The tour will come after the release of the band's eighth studio effort, Before the Frost…Until the Freeze, a different sort of double album out September 1. The first album, Before the Frost…, features 11 new unreleased Crowes' studio songs distributed via the band's own Silver Arrow label and Megaforce Records. The second album, …Until The Freeze, includes 8 original Crowes' songs and a cover of Stephen Stills' classic "So Many Times," and it's given away via a download code included with Before The Frost… Limited-edition vinyl copies of Before The Frost…Until The Freeze with all 20 tracks will also be available.
