"Going back to our roots, we felt that spark in the studio and how we work together": The Black Crowes announce new single and massive co-headline tour with Whiskey Myers
It's Like That is the third song to emerge from the Black Crowes upcoming album A Pound Of Feathers
The Black Crowes have released a second single from their upcoming album A Pound of Feathers and announced a massive co-headline tour with fellow southerners Whiskey Myers.
New song It's Like That is the follow-up to Profane Prophecy and Pharmacy Chronicles, which were released earlier this month when the band broke the news of the album's release, the follow-up to 2024's Happiness Bastards.
"We made this record in eight to ten days,” says frontman Chris Robinson. “Bringing the high and inspiration from 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."
"This album feels transformative to us," adds guitarist Rich Robinson. "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."
The Black Crowes have also announced an extensive run of North American tour dates with Whiskey Myers. The Southern Hospitality Tour kicks off on May 17 at the Moody Center in Austin TX, and finishes up at the Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, CA, on August 20. The run of dates also includes a triple-header at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles on August 17, when Tedeschi Trucks Band will join the bill.
An artist presale begins on Tuesday February 3 at 12pm local time, with the general sale kicking off on Friday, February 6 at 10am local. Full dates below.
