The Black Crowes - A Pound Of Feathers

The Black Crowes — A Pound Of Feathers

180-gram vinyl LP

Fresh off the Grammy-nominated success of Happiness Bastards (2024), Chris and Rich Robinson wasted no time getting back to work. In early 2025, the brothers returned to Nashville to reunite with producer Jay Joyce and recapture the spark that powered their last record. This is the result.

Reflective of their mood and expression, The Black Crowes have created a rock record that's loose and funky, dark and heavy, sensuous and jagged — pushing their iconic blend of blues, soul and rock 'n' roll into electrifying new terrain. With a career spanning four decades, the band's new release stands as a towering testament to their enduring artistic fire and significance to rock history. 

"We made this record in eight to ten days," says 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."

Rich Robinson continues, "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."

A Pound of Feathers marks a bold creative evolution — marrying the rugged swagger of their early classics with fresh perspectives and dynamic, hard-hitting rhythmic textures. Recorded in Nashville with Grammy-winning producer Joyce and curated with visionary energy and deep musical empathy, the record showcases a fearless band operating at the height of their powers.

Drawing from a legacy of emotive songwriting, formidable musicianship, and true rock 'n' roll grit, the project-solely written by the brothers-moves effortlessly between the weightless beauty of A Pound of Feathers and the heavy truth of "a pound of lead," infusing all 11 tracks with an ambivalent depth and honest purity.
