It's hard to believe that over three decades have passed since the Black Crowes burst onto the music scene with their debut album, Shake Your Moneymaker, which spawned the #1 hits "Hard to Handle" and "She Talks to Angels" (not to mention plenty of other classic tunes). Since then, the Crowes have made plenty of other amazing albums (in between breaking up and getting back together), so fans were thrilled when the band announced a new album scheduled for release this March.

The new album, A Pound of Feathers, will be released on March 13, 2026, according to a recent Instagram post from the band. Not only that, but two singles — “Profane Prophecy” and “Pharmacy Chronicles” — are already out now.

Commenters were thrilled to hear the new tunes.

"Cannot wait for the full album! Both singles are bangers but Pharmacy Chronicles is next level," one person wrote.

"Watched you play in London on the Happiness Bastards Tour with Jimmy Page and Steve Tyler in attendance, fantastic show, the vocals were outstanding, as was everything else, beautiful old school rock and roll, no samples or backing track vocals, bring it on," declared a second fan.

"Absolutely fantastic and a nice hark back to the era of an album every 2 years. Hope we get a UK tour announcement soon," added someone else.

"We made this record in eight to ten days," Black Crowes frontman Chris Robinson said in a statement shared with Ultimate Classic Rock. “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 s—t he's ever done."

"This album feels transformative to us," Rich Robinson said in the same statement. "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."

Chris and Rich Robinson grew up in a musical household

Considering they grew up to form one of the most successful rock bands around, it probably won't surprise fans to learn that Chris and Rich Robinson grew up surrounded by music. As Chris told Classic Rock in 2024, his first vivid memories include his father "playing guitar and music."

"That would be the one thing different from having breakfast or playing in the yard," he explained. "Music made the space around me different. My dad traveled for a living. He’d given up his folk career by then, so when he came home at weekends he’d play records. Saturday morning would start off with folk records and move into Crosby, Stills and Nash and Joe Cocker’s Mad Dogs and Englishmen. Then Sly and the Family Stone and dancing around. That was like heaven."

"Dad had one of those console stereos in our living room," Rich recalled. "It was wooden and you opened it up. The turntable was in there, and built-in speakers. He loved 'Carry On' from Déjà Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. Even back then, that sound hit me. The resonance and the vibration of the harmony. The beauty of it."

Now, fans feel the same way about the music made by the Robinson brothers and their bandmates.
