The legendary Black Crowes, GRAMMY-nominated rock icons with over 30 years of electrifying stages and defying expectations, have just dropped their tenth
studio album, A Pound of Feathers, out now through their own Silver Arrow Records. Produced by the acclaimed Jay Joyce (a GRAMMY winner himself) and recorded swiftly in Nashville, the release arrives at a perfect moment—as the band earns their second consecutive nomination for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2026—reaffirming their lasting impact on rock music.
Building on the momentum of their 2024 comeback triumph Happiness Bastards (which scored a Best Rock Album nod at the 2025 GRAMMYs), A Pound of Feathers showcases the brothers Chris and Rich Robinson fully in command. The 11-track collection includes standout singles like “Profane Prophecy,” “Pharmacy Chronicles,” and “It’s Like That” (featured in ESPN on ABC’s NHL campaign). You can stream or grab it right now HERE.
This album represents a fearless step forward, blending the band’s signature gritty, soulful swagger—rooted in their classic Southern rock influences—with inventive energy, raw spontaneity, and punchy new rhythmic layers. Entirely penned by the Robinson brothers, it shifts seamlessly from soaring, almost ethereal moments to gritty, weighty declarations, capturing that classic contrast of something as light as “a pound of feathers” versus the crushing reality of “a pound of lead.” Every song pulses with authentic emotion, unfiltered honesty, and the kind of musicianship that’s earned them legions of devoted fans. Critics have been effusive, hailing it as a powerful continuation of their revival.
Chris Robinson reflected on the process: “We carried that same fire and creative high from Happiness Bastards straight into this one—it just flowed naturally. We leaned into experimentation, trusting our instincts and whatever we were feeling right then. Rich injected this incredible, indescribable spontaneity; honestly, it’s some of the finest work he’s ever laid down.”
Rich added: “For us, this record feels like a real turning point. Returning to our core while reigniting that brotherly chemistry in the studio—it sparked something fiercer, rougher around the edges, but still completely true to who we are musically.”
A Pound of Feathers solidifies the Black Crowes as one of rock’s most vital and enduring forces today. Their rebellious spirit, explosive live reputation, and unwavering commitment to real rock ’n’ roll shine through louder than ever. Fresh off the critical and fan acclaim for Happiness Bastards, this new chapter proves they’re not just surviving—they’re thriving.

I grew up in a household full of rock music, studied journalism in college, and then became a scientist.Although my science career has served me well, music has always played a major role in my life. I grew up reading "Creem" magazine; I play several musical instruments as a "hobby";and it seems a camera has always been in my hand. Now, I am combining what I love the most--music and photography--serving as editor of Rock At Night. I travel between the US and UK seeking my dream! My motto: life is short...no regrets. Chyrisse
