The Black Crowes love America. The band has decided to postpone its next album and its world tour in favor of a U.S. summer tour. Haha, screw you, rest of the world!
The Crowes album is now expected to be pushed back into early 2008. That will make seven years between albums for the band, whose last release was Lions in 2001. A world tour should coincide with the new album's release.
