"Rich brought a spontaneity to the record that I can't describe, but it's the best s*** he's ever done": The Black Crowes announce new album - listen to the first two tracks now

Southern rock icons the Black Crowes have announced a new album, A Pound Of Feathers. The album, which will be released via Silver Arrow Records on March 13, is the follow-up to Happiness Bastards, which was named the best album of 2024 by Classic Rock magazine.

"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."

Two new songs accompany news of the album's release, the strutting Profane Prophecy and the more relaxed, country gospel of Pharmacy Chronicles. Like the rest of the band's tenth album, the singles were recorded in Nashville with producer Jay Joyce, who also worked on Happiness Bastards and picked up a Grammy award in 2024 for his work on Lainey Wilson's Bell Bottom Country.

Full tracklist below. A Pound Of Feathers is available to pre-order now.

The Black Crowes have a series of Pacific Rim tour dates lined up in Australia and Japan in April, before a short run of European festival shows in June and July. They're also scheduled to play four shows with Guns N' Roses on their 2026 World Tour. Full dates below.
