The Black Crowes

At the time of this live recording from the Forecastle Festival in Louisville on July 11, 2009, The Black Crowes were in a vibrant phase of their career, having just released their album 'Warpaint' in 2008. This studio album marked a significant return to form, showcasing their bluesy rock roots and camaraderie among band members. Interestingly, 'I Ain't Hiding,' performed in this live set, dives into themes of resilience and authenticity, mirroring the band's own journey through the music industry. By this point, The Black Crowes had already built a reputation as stalwart rockers since their formation in 1984, and their energetic presence at the festival highlighted their enduring appeal. Notably, the band embraced live recordings as a vital way to connect with fans, and this performance exemplified their magnetism during the 2000s revival of classic rock sounds.
