The Black Crowes- WARPAINT- CD- 2008- Silver Arrow Records, Inc./Angelus Entertainment- 020286112723- 400 grn
WARPAINT is the seventh studio album by American rock band The Black Crowes. Released on 3rd March 2008, it was the band's seventh studio album and first studio album in almost seven years, and its first with new members Luther Dickinson and Adam MacDougall, as well as the first to be released on the band's own Silver Arrow Records label. The Black Crows have always been out of fashion. When grunge was in they were country rock. When beating a tribal war drum was hip they were country rock. When serialism and the Vienna School was rad they were country rock. When country rock was bangin’ they were on a break. They just don’t give a shit. They produce the kind of mellow Americana that felt like a new dawn in the early 1970s before punk rock ruined everything. So it’s all twanging slide guitar, beautiful soulful grooves and Hammond organs. Never in their twenty four years of existence have they either changed their tune or sounded contrived, and they’re getting better all the time in their dependably unfashionable way.
PERSONNEL: Chris Robinson – vocals, harmonica, percussion; Rich Robinson – guitars; Luther Dickinson – guitar, mandolin; Steve Gorman – drums; Adam MacDougall – keyboards; Sven Pipien – bass guitar; Paul Stacey – twelve string guitar.
Looking back, it seems inevitable that The Black Crowes would suffer a rocky middle age. After they mapped out the furthest reaches of their world on 1994's Amorica album they slowly spun their tires, turning out records both respectable and tired, before internal tensions slowly tore the brothers Robinson apart, leading to a split in 2002. A few years of solo wanderings led The Crowes to a reunion in 2005, but they had to go through a few more lineup changes, including the addition of North Mississippi Allstar Luther Dickinson as the replacement for guitarist Marc Ford, before they buckled down to record their seventh album, 2008's WARPAINT. All that turmoil and trouble are felt on album. WARPAINT shows that the decade of hard struggle gave The Crowes soul and chops, turning them into the band they've always wanted to be. The Black Crowes haven't changed their basic sound, but the feel of the band has changed, as The Crowes have turned from reckless ruffians into seasoned veterans, with the group feeling lived-in and genuine. There's depth here, highlighted by an instrumental suppleness that slightly recalls an evolution that could only be earned during those years on the road, building the band through nightly jams and a slow cycle of membership turnovers. This is a suppleness that has grit, thanks especially to Dickinson's glass slide runs that give this music some welcome grease. What may much praise is how The Crowes write compellingly within their standard sound, as they do here. From there, WARPAINT continues to gain momentum, as this album is not only their strongest set of songs since Amorica, it has a depth and presence that is rare for a digital age creation and, best of all, the album has a true narrative thrust, making it feel like a true classic rock album. What The Black Crowes have done here is what true journeymen do - they don't renounce their past, they build upon it, finding hidden depths within it, shaping tradition after their own image to make it sound fresh. They're old-fashioned, but in the best sense. They're in it for the long haul, which the superb WARPAINT proves beyond a shadow of a doubt.
