Happiness Bastards

The Black Crowes

A lean, high-voltage return to form. Gritty guitar riffs and soulful swagger delivered with the punchy clarity of modern production.

The Robinson brothers finally stopped fighting and remembered how to write a three-minute rock anthem.

A high-spirited and defiant celebration of classic rock fundamentals delivered with modern punch.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The explosive opening riff of Bedside Manners that signals the band's return to high-voltage form.

The gospel-tinged backing vocals on Wanting and Waiting that elevate the chorus into a classic soul-rock anthem.

The sudden shift into a swampy, acoustic-led groove during the bridge of Cross Your Fingers.
