The Black Crowes are back with new music. The band just announced they’ll release their 10th studio album Happiness Bastards on March 15, with brothers Chris and Rich Robinson telling fans they were “Leaving the bullsh** in the past…”
“Happiness Bastards is our love letter to rock n’ roll,” Chris shares. “Rich and I are always writing and creating music; that has never stopped for us, and it is always where we find harmony together. This record represents that.”
Rich adds, “This album is a continuation of our story as a band. Our years of experience writing and making music and touring the world are represented in this record … I am incredibly proud of what we put together.”
The release is the first album of new music in 15 years from the band, who are giving fans a first taste of the record with their new single “Wanting and Waiting.”
You can listen to “Wanting and Waiting” now via digital outlets or on YouTube.
