The deluxe reissue, which can be pre-ordered now<\/a>, includes a new remaster of the original 11-track album and three B-sides. It also contains the newly created studio album Tallest, featuring nine newly mixed songs from The Black Crowes\u2019 Tall sessions. Tall is an unreleased album the band recorded before Amorica that Chris and Rich Robinson decided to scrap because they were unhappy with the energy of the tracks.<\/p>\n

In addition, the Amorica box set features a disc called The Marie Laveau Sessions, boasting seven previously unreleased studio tracks recorded by the Robinson brothers in October 1992 in New Orleans. Chris and Rich had written the songs during a soundcheck while on The Black Crowes\u2019 High High the Moon Tour, and recorded them during an off day on the trek.<\/p>\n

Rounding out the box set is a disc featuring the band performing four Amorica songs recorded live during a worldwide radio broadcast celebrating the album\u2019s release. The performance took place at AIR Studios in London on October 25, 1994.<\/p>\n

The Tallest album includes three previously unreleased recordings\u2014\u201cBitter, Bitter You,\u201d \u201cTitle Song,\u201d and \u201cParis Song.\u201d \u201cParis Song\u201d is an instrumental that evolved into the Amorica track \u201cCursed Diamond.\u201d \u201cBitter, Bitter You\u201d has been made available as the first advance track from the Amorica box set.<\/p>\n

The Robinson Brothers\u2019 Statements About Amorica<\/p>\n

A press release about the new reissue describes Amorica as \u201ca raw, psychedelic love letter to freedom, brotherhood, and the uncompromising pursuit of art without permission.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a statement, Chris Robinson said, \u201cAmorica was about breaking free and doing things on our own terms. It wasn\u2019t about fitting into what was happening in music at the time. It was about trusting our instincts\u2014and 30 years later, that\u2019s still who we are.\u201d<\/p>\n

Added Rich Robinson, \u201cThe bond between us, even when tested, always came back to the music. That\u2019s what Amorica represents\u2014our belief in ourselves and in this band.\u201d<\/p>\n
