===Changing lineup and renewed success: 2006–2009=== In fall 2006, Eddie Harsch and Marc Ford left the band. Replacing Harsch and Ford were [[Rob Clores]] and [[Paul Stacey]], respectively. In August 2007, the band replaced Clores with [[Adam MacDougall (keyboardist)|Adam MacDougall]]. Stacey's tenure was never intended to be permanent and when the band invited guitar player [[Luther Dickinson]] from [[North Mississippi Allstars]] to perform on their upcoming record, entitled ''[[Warpaint (Black Crowes album)|Warpaint]]'' Dickinson officially replaced Stacey as guitarist. Stacey continued to work with the band, however, as producer of ''Warpaint''. A live album entitled ''Live at the Roxy'', culled from the 2006 Brothers of a Feather performances (featuring Chris and Rich Robinson performing mostly acoustic sets) was released on July 10, 2007. The album featured performances of old and new Black Crowes material mixed with covers, taken from a three-night run at The Roxy in Los Angeles in early 2006. The Black Crowes' first album since reforming, ''[[Warpaint (The Black Crowes album)|Warpaint]]'' was released on March 3, 2008. ''Warpaint'' was critically acclaimed and the album landed at number 5 on the ''Billboard'' 200, the band's best debut since ''[[The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion]]'' topped the charts.<ref name="billboard1"/> The band launched an international tour March 24 when they played the [[East Coast Blues & Roots Music Festival]] in Australia. The band continued its Australia and New Zealand tour—the first since 1992—through April 5, before departing for a European trek. A US tour began in May and concluded in December with another five-night stand at The Fillmore in San Francisco. Also that year, the Black Crowes filed a [[lawsuit]] against country singer [[Gretchen Wilson]], claiming that she infringed upon their [[copyright]] for the song "Jealous Again".<ref name=crowes-caw>{{cite news | last=Serpe |first=Gina | title=Black Crowes Caw Out Gretchen Wilson for Alleged Song Stealing |url=http://www.eonline.com/uberblog/b148496_black_crowes_caw_gretchen_wilson.html | publisher=E!

The first disc consists of the ''Warpaint'' album played in its entirety, while the second disc is made up of catalog classics and cover selections. The entire performance contained on the set was recorded on March 20, 2008, at the Wiltern Theater in Los Angeles. A DVD of the same performance was released on June 30, 2009.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.mercurystudios.co/|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20130610150450/http://www.eagle-rock.com/eaglerockUSA/media_detail.php?media_id=1026|url-status=dead|title=Home|archivedate=June 10, 2013|website=Mercury Studios|access-date=July 15, 2021}}</ref> The band released its eighth studio album, ''[[Before the Frost...Until the Freeze]]'', later that year. A CD purchase of the album is accompanied with a download code to receive the album's companion release, ''...Until the Freeze''.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://blackcrowes.com/090810.html |title="BEFORE THE FROST...UNTIL THE FREEZE" OUT AUGUST 31 |publisher=Blackcrowes.com |access-date=April 7, 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090813095853/http://www.blackcrowes.com/090810.html |archive-date=August 13, 2009 }}</ref> The vinyl version is a double album that includes all of the songs but in a different running order. These albums resulted from five days of recording at [[Levon Helm]]s Studio in [[Woodstock, New York|Woodstock]], and present a combination of new material and a few new cover songs recorded live in front of an audience. Continuing the trend set with ''Warpaint'', the Crowes incorporated more of their [[Country music|country]] and [[Bluegrass music|bluegrass]] [[roots rock|roots]] in these recordings as well as venturing into new avenues such as disco in the song "I Ain't Hidin'". A DVD of these sessions, including some interview and backstage segments, was released named ''[[Before the Frost...Until the Freeze#Cabin Fever|Cabin Fever]]''.
