Songs from Black Mountain, the seventh studio album by York, Pennsylvania's Live, came out in April 2006, their one and only release on Epic Records. It turned out to be a last stand: the final studio record by the original four of Ed Kowalczyk, Chad Taylor, Patrick Dahlheimer and Chad Gracey, and the last with Kowalczyk out front before he left in 2009.
A dozen years after the churning intensity of Throwing Copper, the band sounds calmer and warmer here, trading the tortured howl for big, open-hearted choruses and chiming guitars. Lead single "The River" sets the mood, a sturdy, big-hearted anthem that Kowalczyk sings with real conviction. The record topped the chart in the Netherlands, but at home it peaked at number 52 on the Billboard 200 and gave them their lowest US sales since Mental Jewelry.
