The Black Crowes - lost and found

The 'Lost Crowes' finally land on CD!

The Black Crowes recorded two albums that never saw the light of day, until now. 'Tall' (in 1993,) and 'Band' (recorded in 1997,) have been remixed into a deluxe double disc set titled 'The Lost Crowes.' The compilation will be available August 29th.

At the same time Rhino Home Video will release
'Who Killed That Bird Out On Your Window Sill.'
It's a remastered and expanded version of the video on DVD that features live performances, interviews, backstage and studio footage, videos from the group’s first two albums, and additional bonus features.

The 'Band' sessions feature ten songs including an alternate version of the B-side "Peace Anyway," plus "If It Ever Stops Raining," the title-track to the 1999 album 'By Your Side.' After the band came off the road headlining the Furthur Festival, they went into a Nashville studio to record songs for a planned follow-up to 1996’s acclaimed 'Three Snakes & One Charm.'

The 'Tall' Sessions contain a total of sixteen unreleased tracks from the band's emotional L.A. days. Vocalist Chris Robinson, guitarists Rich Robinson and Marc Ford, drummer Steve Gorman, bassist Johnny Colt, and keyboardist Ed Harsch were working on the follow-up to 'Southern Harmony And Musical Companion' in the fall of 1993, when they recorded more than thirty songs at Conway Studios in Los Angeles. That creative period turned into the 1994 album, 'Amorica.'

Paul Stacey has remixed all of the music on 'The Lost Crowes,' which also includes liner notes spotlighting the stories behind these legendary lost sessions as told by the brothers Robinson.
