The Black Crowes to release two albums this autumn

They're giving one away for free

The Black Crowes are releasing two new albums. 'Before The Frost…' and its companion free album '…Until The Freeze' are due out in the US on September 1. The band will give away '…Until The Freeze' via a download code, which is included in the album 'Before The Frost…'.

Every band will release an album or two that doesn't live up to expectations when they've been around for 25 years....see the band live...it explains why they have been able to withstand the tests of time.
