Rollingstone.com is reporting:
THE BLACK CROWES will record new, original material for an upcoming album during four sold-out concerts at Levon Helm Studios in Woodstock, New York, in February and March. This run of performances at the recording studio built decades ago by the 2008 Grammy winner and former drummer for the Band are being billed as Cabin Fever Winter 2009. The shows on February 21, 22, 28 and March 1 sold out in less than two days.
“We’re thrilled,” Helm, who’s not scheduled to perform, tells Rolling Stone. “It kind of shows me that we’re doing things right.” Over the last few years Helm has staged 'Midnight Ramble' house concerts at the studio — Saturday night performances Rolling Stone named Best Jam Session that feature special guests sitting in with the Levon Helm Band, including ELVIS COSTELLO, PHISH bassist Mike Gordon and Crowes frontman Chris Robinson. Prior to singing on 'Shake Your Money Maker' and 'The Weight' last August, Robinson milled about in the crowd throughout the evening.
