Black Crowes Return with New Album | Los Angeles News

The Black Crowes are back with a surprise new album, “A Pound of Feathers,” just one year after their triumphant return — and they’re hitting the road to celebrate. Lead singer Chris Robinson dives into the stories behind their biggest hits, from the Otis Redding cover “Hard to Handle” (whose solo was played by Brendan O’Brien) to the haunting “She Talks to Angels,” born from raw emotion not formula. He reveals how learning to read unlocked his songwriting, why “Remedy” was inspired by a dead bird outside a hotel, and how his vocal style leans into rhythm over melody. Even their protest songs like “Sting Me” reflect 90s social tension — and he contrasts that era’s relentless touring with today’s artists taking mental health breaks.
