Goodbye Daughters of the Revolution is definitely better than ANYTHING off the last piece of shit album.
honestly i didn't think i'd give 2 shits about this record after Marc Ford left yet again, but this track is pretty damn solid. Sure they've pretty much gone back to the formula that worked from Southern Harmony through By Your Side, but oh well.
Full Version: The Black Crowes - Warpaint
Thanks!
I hope they do a big summer tour again. These guys are so potent live.

I'm looking forward to this as well. They snagged Luther Dickenson from the North Missisipi Allstars as the guitarist replacing Mark Ford (who I loved), should be pretty good.

yeah, after I'd read that I wasn't as bummed about Marc's (second) departure
I saw 'em at the Taste this year...I had a good time....Thanks Solace..I appreciate the link...looking forward to hearing more of this new disc sounds pretty tight.

Well, that explains why no one's seen Luther around town, lately.
ugh.
this is the kind of song that's so bad that it makes you embarassed for ever liking them in the first place.
"don't you want to see the shit go down with me?"
he's not kidding. wow.

no, i just think it's an apt metaphor for the music.
That new song is too country for me, but I would imagine they'll have some rockers on the new album and frankly I'd be happy with 18 covers. Live, they're tough to beat. Paul Stacey did alright (i.e., great) replacing Marc on the last mini-tour, btw.
Has 'Warpaint' leaked yet?
It's due out March 4th.

thank you, but nope, that's a bunch of random files named after the tracks on the album.
Just came back here to post that, the motherfuckers!
However, nice touch having one of the decoy tracks be George Burns' take on "Fixing a Hole"

Maxim apologizes for Black Crowes review 26 minutes ago
NEW YORK - Maxim magazine has apologized for publishing a negative review of the Black Crowes' new album by a writer who hadn't listened to the whole CD.
The review in Maxim's March issue gives the Crowes' "Warpaint" a rating of two-and-a-half stars out of five. The band posted an exasperated statement on its Web site last week saying the Maxim writer hadn't heard the entire album because advance copies weren't available. The Crowes' manager, Pete Angelus, said the magazine explained that its review was an "educated guess."
Maxim editorial director James Kaminsky responded Tuesday with this statement: "It is Maxim's editorial policy to assign star ratings only to those albums that have been heard in their entirety. Unfortunately, that policy was not followed in the March 2008 issue of our magazine and we apologize to our readers."
A spokeswoman for the magazine contacted by The Associated Press declined to say whether the writer would face disciplinary action.
"Warpaint," the Black Crowes' first album in seven years, is set for release March 4. The blues-rock group, fronted by Chris Robinson, has released only one song from the disc, "Goodbye Daughters of the Revolution."
The band's hits include "Hard to Handle" and "She Talks to Angels."

^ This must happen ALL the time.
So, I hadn't heard most of the album and was less than thrilled with the down-tempo tracks I had heard, but it sounds pretty good live. They're playing it straight through on this leg, if anyone's going to see them. Luther from the NMA can play. Plus they did a killer version of Moby Grape's "Hey Grandma."
i could probably find it somewhere but just thought i'd ask you velocity.
who's in the lineup on tour?
who's in the lineup on tour?
Chris, Rich, a shaggy Sven Pipien on bass, Steve Gorman on marching drum, Luther Dickinson from the North Mississippi Allstars playing the hell outta the slide guitar, and uh, Adam MacDougall on keys who is neither as good as Eddie nor the guy they had right after Eddie left (I could do without most keys anyhow). And Mona Lisa & Charity singing backup.
Something I noticed last night was that Rich is taking a back seat to Luther, playing mostly rhythm guitar instead of trading leads like he did w/ Marc Ford and Paul Stacey. They did do some nice guitar duet/harmonies on a couple of songs, though.

Picked up Warpaint tonight. About seven tracks in and liking it so far. First Black Crowes record I've heard since Lions.
Warpaint is far and away the best Black Crowes since Amorica. 18 Snakes and One Dick, or whatever it was called, was half-good, half-what-the-fuck. By Your Side wanted to be a great record, but wasn't. Lions is so bad the masters should be destroyed.
But Warpaint, now... this is some shit. I find the idea "Goodbye Daughters..." is country to be bizarre... it's Rich Robinson cranking out more of those "What Keith song did he nick that from..." licks. ("Before They Make Me Run" I think.)
"Walk Believer Walk" and "There's Gold in Them Hills" are probably the only tracks that don't succeed, and not b/c they're bad songs - they just don't go anywhere. I've listened to this record at least once a day for the last six weeks or so and it's just getting better and deeper the longer I listen.
Not for the lyrics, though. I don't know that Chris Robinson has ever been more than an occasionally intriguing lyricist, and many of the better musical moments here, such as "Movin' On Down the Line" are marred by classic-rock cliche and moon-june-spoon rhyme schemes.
(That said, Amorica, initially loathed by critics, is some of his best writing - he's bitter and angry and rejected and the album is the better for it - "Descending" may be the best Crowes ballad no one knows.)
The most surprising moment in a record of almost nothing but surprising moments, however, has to be the gospel tune, "God's Got It" where Luther lets rip on the slide and the inherent connection between religious and sexual ecstasy is made clear once and for all. If you can get past the lyric, you could fuck all night to this song.
I fuckin' love this record.

Amorica is their best in my humblest of opinions.
Even it was just "Wiser Time" over and over for 14 tracks. Man that song rules.

That is my second favorite Crowes' tunes after "Thorn In My Pride."
I love Amorica but I am more partial to Southern Harmony & Musical Companion.
Damn I needs to hear some Crowes' music RIGHT NOW.

I thin most Crowes fans share that view. I've always been different. I think Unfogettable Fire is U2's best record.
