Ready for a Pound of Feathers
January 11th, 2026 by Traci Turner
Rock legends The Black Crowes have big plans for 2026 that include a brand new album, “A Pound of Feathers,” due out March 13th. The boys have already given us a tease with singles “Profane Prophecy” and “Pharmacy Chronicles.”
The highly anticipated new studio album “pushes their iconic blend of blues, soul and rock into electrifying new terrain.”
“We made this record in eight to ten days,” says frontman and co-founder, Chris Robinson. “Bringing the high and inspiration from ‘Happiness Bastards’ into this album, it was a natural progression. We experimented more, we wrote on instinct and how we were feeling in the moment. Rich brought a spontaneity to the record that I can’t describe, but it’s the best shit he’s ever done.”
Band co-founder and guitarist – and of course, Chris’ brother – Rich Robinson explained further, “This album feels transformative to us. Going back to our roots, we felt that spark in the studio and how we work together. Lighting a fire that hits harder, more jagged but is still true to our musical essence.”
“A Pound of Feathers” aims to marry “the rugged swagger of their early classics with fresh perspectives and dynamic, hard-hitting rhythmic textures.” The brothers wrote the record together, then recorded the new album in Nashville with Grammy-winning producer, Jay Joyce.
As for the released singles, “Profane Prophecy” “sets the trajectory for the whole album” as the lead off track, while “Pharmacy Chronicles” urges “people to face their vices, as freedom comes with recognition.”
The band’s last album, 2024’s “Happiness Bastards,” was nominated for Best Rock Album at the 2025 Grammy Awards, while they also earned a nomination for the 2025 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame class.
A new album will surely bring about a tour, and no doubt they will give us the classics we love like “She Talks to Angels,” “Hard to Handle,” “Jealous Again,” “Remedy,” “Thorn in My Pride,” “Twice as Hard,” and “Black Moon Creeping.”
They have dates in Australia, Japan, and Europe listed. And just added, the Southern Hospitality Tour is coming to the Hollywood Bowl on August 17th!
