The Black Crowes Discuss New Album

Besides heading out on the road, the Black Crowes celebrated the release of their newest album Happiness Bastards back in March. Their first album in nearly 15 years, Chris Robinson explained, “Happiness Bastards is our love letter to rock ‘n’ roll. Rich and I are always writing and creating music; that has never stopped for us, and it is always where we find harmony together. This record represents that.”

His brother, Rich Robison, added his thoughts, noting, “This album is a continuation of our story as a band. Our years of experience writing and making music and touring the world are represented in this record, and we were brilliantly guided by one of the best producers in the business, Jay Joyce. I am incredibly proud of what we put together.”
