The Black Crowes on their ‘Happiness Bastards’ Grammy nod: ‘That feels good’

The Black Crowes are nominated for a Grammy for their latest album Happiness Bastards, and they certainly feel honored by the recognition.

The album, the group’s first collection of new material in 15 years, is nominated for Best Rock Album, and will compete with The Rolling Stones’ Hackney Diamonds, Green Day’s Saviors, Pearl Jam’s Dark Matter, Jack White’s No Name, Fontaines D.C.’s Romance and Idles’ Tangk.

“To be nominated with the Rolling Stones? I mean, that’s pretty cool,” Rich Robinson tells Forbes.

“For me, to be recognized in the industry that we have somehow kept at bay for 35 years? That feels good,” Chris Robinson adds. “And to be included with the Stones and Pearl Jam and Jack White and Green Day? And the younger bands! IDLES is such a f****** strong group. To be included with all of those bands makes me feel really good.”

He adds, “And, yeah – it’s something that I’m not used to.”

The Grammys will take place Feb. 2 in LA, and will air live on CBS and will stream live on Paramount+.
