Page Says More Black Crowes Work May Be Coming

Jimmy Page told LAUNCH that he's certainly up for continuing his alliance with the The Black Crowes during an interview in New York City on Wednesday (March 1) to promote the new album Jimmy Page And The Black Crowes Live At The Greek. "We've discussed the possibility of maybe having a collaboration in the studio," Page said. "We've also discussed possibilities of maybe doing some more touring around everything, you know? It's all being discussed. There's so many different avenues that you can go down at the moment, and, you know, they're all very positive and good, and we'll see what comes out of it all." Jimmy Page And The Black Crowes Live At The Greek is only available on the Internet. The music is featured at www.musicmaker.com in three ways: the full 19-song, two-CD set, which costs $17.90; songs that are picked and sequenced by the buyers themselves, which costs $4.95 for the first five songs and $1 more for each additional song on a CD; or, single-song downloads to your computer, with each track going for $1. For more information or to make an order, go to www.musicmaker.com. Page was wondering what the demand would be for an Internet-only album. The former Led Zeppelin guitarist half-jokingly told LAUNCH that he was a little worried about how many people would actually go online to order the album. He needn't have been concerned -- so many people tried to get the music that the company was swamped. The servers at Musicmaker.com crashed last night, due to the overwhelming number of orders coming in to the site. While a final tally was unavailable at press time, Jimmy Page And The Black Crowes Live At The Greek is being hailed as the best-selling custom CD and paid download in the history of Internet music, according to a spokesman for the project.
