The Black Crowes: a sneak preview of their new DVD, Cabin Fever

The DVD includes footage of the magical recording sessions that ultimately became their critically acclaimed CD, Before the Frost...Until the Freeze, which was released this year.

The innovative technique of inviting fans into the studio to become part of the recording process was a rare experience and wisely, the band filmed the sessions. Before the Frost...Until the Freeze was recorded over a series of five nights in front of an intimate studio audience at Levon Helm Studios in Woodstock, NY.

The DVD of those sessions, Cabin Fever takes that experience one step further by allowing viewers to see behind the scenes footage of both the recording and song writing sessions, with lots of never before seen banter and interaction between the band and the audience. The DVD gives fans that weren't there the chance to experience the magic.

There's also the original Little Lizzie Mae as well as covers of Velvet Underground's Oh Sweet Nuthin & Fred Neil's Dolphins. The DVD will also include the tracks Aimless Peacock, Good Morning Captain, Appaloosa, and Been a Long Time (Waiting on Love) among others from Before the Frost...Until the Freeze.

Chris Robinson conceived the concept of both Before the Frost...Until the Freeze, and the DVD, Cabin Fever: "I think we fulfilled a musical commitment to continue on the golden road of artistic independence. Approaching 20 years into our careers, we still are ambitious enough to push ourselves to create something unique that we have never done before."
