Fresh off the release of his third solo album The Ceaseless Sight, Rich Robinson (best known as the founder/guitarist/songwriter of The Black Crowes) will release a live in the studio recording, entitled Woodstock Sessions, Vol. 3 this Tuesday, November 18th.  The album was recorded in Woodstock, NY at Applehead Studios in May 2014, the same studio where Robinson self-produced The Ceaseless Sight.  It was taped in front of a live audience of guests who were lucky enough to get one of the 200 tickets available for the 2-night event; they were treated to hours of acoustic and electric performance sets, and tons of great stories about Rich’s experiences in the studio and on the road.
