Notorious blues rockers THE BLACK CROWES (1984–2002, 2005–2015, 2019–present)
with brothers Chris and Rich Robinson as prominent members, started their sonic odyssey in Atlanta, Georgia, in 1984.
Their 10th full-length, called A POUND OF FEATHERS is out now.
Chris: “We made this record in eight to ten days. Bringing the high and inspiration
from our previous LP ‘Happiness Bastards’ into this album, it was a natural progression.
We experimented more, we wrote on instinct and how we were feeling in the moment. Rich brought a spontaneity to the record that I can’t describe, but it’s the best shit he’s ever done.”
Rich: “This album feels transformative to us. Going back to our roots, we felt that spark
in the studio and how we work together. Lighting a fire that hits harder, more jagged but
is still true to our musical essence.”

TUTV: The Black Crowes are one of those rawk ‘n raw roll bands I dig the most when
they’re on stage. Some of their records are pretty good (their first ones), but just like AC/DC, they use the same formula over and over again. So as a fan you know what to expect.
A salvo of rough riff- rippers, a couple of power ballads and Chris Robinson singing his heart out. Yep, TBC by numbers, but wait, some of them are red-hot enough to get you out of your lazy couch and play air guitar, like Prophane Prophecy, Cruel Streak, Do The Parasite!, and You Call This A Good Time. But at the end of the day, it’s just another Crowes album.
