On Friday (Jan. 9), Rich Robinson<\/a> joined Loudwire Nights<\/a><\/em> to celebrate two new songs from the Black Crowes<\/a> as well as the announcement of their next album, A Pound of Feathers<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n Listen to the full conversation in the player near the end of this article.<\/p>\n “Everything is kind of a continuation, you know what I mean,” Robinson said to Loudwire Nights<\/em> host Chuck Armstrong<\/a> about the follow-up to the Black Crowes’ 2024 album, Happiness Bastards<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n “This record was done differently because it was really just me and Chris [Robinson]<\/a> and Cully [Symington] … I had a bunch of pieces and some songs ready to go, but a lot of times the way Chris and I work is I’ll send him the foundation of a song and then he’ll get it and then he’ll hear something that he likes or he’ll hear something different.”<\/p>\n During that process, Robinson said he and his brother work together on the arrangement. They followed that idea as they created the songs that would become A Pound of Feathers<\/em>.<\/p>\n “We kind of went in with these basic things, but\u00a0used the studio more as a writing tool instead of having everything more pre-planned,” he explained.<\/p>\n “The recording process was a lot different. Because of that, everything seems a little more kind of exciting and new. It’s like we get in and nothing has kind of been floating around. It’s all like, ‘Let’s try this, let’s try this, let’s try this.'”<\/p>\n No matter how different the experience might have been, though, fans can hear the legacy of the Black Crowes saturating their two new songs, “Profane Prophecy” and “Pharmacy Chronicles.”<\/p>\n READ MORE:\u00a0Alter Bridge’s Myles Kennedy Says New Album Captures ‘What We’ve Been Known For’<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n “What’s cool about the sort of musical journey that we’ve been on our whole lives, it’s always kind of sounded like us, but every record has kind of been different,” Robinson shared.<\/p>\n “We do bring in a lot of different influences and a lot of things that have always affected us in our lives \u2014 but it always still kind of sounds like us.”<\/p>\n Rich Robinson\u00a0joined\u00a0<\/em>Loudwire Nights on Friday, Jan. 9;\u00a0the show replays online here<\/a>, and you can tune in live every weeknight at 7PM ET<\/a> or on the Loudwire app<\/a>; you can also see if the show is available on your local radio station<\/a>\u00a0and listen to interviews on-demand<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n These are the biggest rock and metal tours happening in 2026 so far, including Metallica, Iron Maiden, My Chemical Romance and more.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Gallery Credit: Lauryn Schaffner<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nWhat Else Did the Black Crowes’ Rich Robinson Discuss on Loudwire Nights<\/em>?<\/h3>\n
