The Black Crowes’ comeback is a rock ’n’ roll miracle. For a time, at least from the outside looking in, the very idea of brothers Chris and Rich Robinson in the studio working together sounded ill-advised, like putting two piranhas in the tank together.
But whatever their differences in the past, this, their third reunion by most people’s reckoning, is real, and it has bore fruit, successfully celebrating the 30th anniversary of their debut album, Shake Your Money Maker, with a tour in 2020, and with an all-new studio album, Happiness Bastards, shepherded onto tape by producer Jay Joyce, and out now via Silver Arrow.
