The Black Crowes enter new era

The Black Crowes reunited earlier this year for the first time since 2001 for several shows and are set to continue touring this summer in America. Although the US rockers are not yet signed to a label, that soon may change. It is reported the band are being courted by a number of major and independent record labels following the success of their current reunion tour.

The manager of the band, Pete Angelus said, "This is a new era for The Black Crowes. It would be premature to focus on anything other than their phenomenal live shows at this point in time. They're doing what they want to do; they’re playing what they want to play - all on their own terms.

The Black Crowes, Led by brothers Chris and Rich Robinson, will hit the road again this summer with supporting acts from Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.
