The Black Crowes to show 'Warpaint' on spring tour

The Black Crowes will familiarize audiences with their new studio album, "Warpaint," by performing the disc in its entirety during a run of "one night only" dates in March.

The first "Warpaint" show comes March 2 in Sayreville, NJ, just two days before the album's March 4 release date. The other six dates take place in major metropolitan areas, with the brief run winding down March 20 in Los Angeles. Dates are below.

In addition to the full-album performances (which will be followed by a set of classic Crowes material, according to a press release), the band will play a March 15 show in Austin, TX, as part of the SXSW music conference. Following the March outing, the group will head overseas for an Australian tour; those dates can be found at the band's official website.

"Warpaint," the Crowes' first new full-length album since 2001's "Lions," will be released on the band's newly created Silver Arrow Records imprint and distributed through Megaforce/Red/SonyBMG. The record was produced by the band's temporary guitarist, Paul Stacey, who stepped aside during the recording process to make way for new guitarist Luther Dickinson.

Dickinson is one of two new members of the Crowes who make an appearance on the disc, joining new keyboardist Adam MacDougall. The band's core duo of brothers Chris and Rich Robinson, along with drummer Steve Gorman and bassist Sven Pipien, fill out the lineup that appears on "Warpaint."
