The Black Crowes are leaving the bullshit in the past. 15 years after their last album of original music, the Robinson Brothers present Happiness Bastards- their 10th studio album. Some may say the project has been several tumultuous years in the making, but we argue it's arriving at just the right time. Call it brotherly love or music destiny that brought them back together, the highly anticipated record consecrating the reunion of this legendary band just may be the thing that saves rock & roll. In a time where the art form is buried beneath the corporate sheen of its successors, The Black Crowes are biting back with the angst of words left unsaid penned on paper and electrified by guitar strings, revealing stripped, bare-boned rock & roll. No gloss, no glitter, just rhythm and blues at it's very best - gritty, loud, and in your face.\u2028
It's finally here - Happiness Bastards is out March 15, 2024.
I fell in love with the Black Crowes thanks to Kelly Bundy. During the time that Married With Children was on the air, Christina Applegate was asked by an interviewer if she, like Kelly Bundy, was into glam metal. She said that she wasn't and that she preferred the music of the Black Crowes. Well, the next day I went out and bought their first album. I've been a fan ever since.
