The Black Crowes' Happiness Bastards album has been voted the best of 2024 in Classic Rock magazine's annual end-of-year writers poll. The full countdown, featuring the 50 best albums of the year, is featured in the new issue of Classic Rock, which hits UK stores today.
Classic Rock writer Pat Carty's review of Happiness Bastards describes the album as "a rock’n’roll record that’s funkier than a tramp’s kacks, more soulful than a gospel convention, warmer than a mother’s love and groovier than the Grand Canyon", while the new issue of Classic Rock calls it "a genuine return to form in an age when many releases described as such are nothing of the sort."
