The Black Crowes Release 'A Pound of Feathers,' A Darker, Looser Turn

Overview

• The album is out now, led by the opening single "Profane Prophecy," which sets the record’s unruly tone.
• Chris and Rich Robinson wrote and tracked the songs at Jay Joyce’s Nashville studio in 10 days to capture instinctive performances.
• The band characterizes the music as darker, funkier and looser, with reviews noting a mix of raucous rockers and more cinematic, brooding tracks.
• Promotion centers on the co-headlining Southern Hospitality tour with Whiskey Myers beginning May 17 in Austin, with stops including Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena, Forest Hills Stadium in Queens and the Hollywood Bowl.
• Later in the year, the group will serve as main support on a run of stadium dates headlined by Guns N’ Roses, with touring contributors Cully Symington, Erik Deutsch, Leslie Grant and Mackenzie Adams in the lineup.
