Fri 9 January 2026 12:11, UK

The Black Crowes have revealed that their new studio album, A Pound of Feathers, will be released on March 13th, 2026, via Silver Arrow Records.

As promised in a press release, the new album promises to “push their iconic blend of blues, soul and rock into electrifying new terrain.“

Commenting on the new project, lead singer and frontman Chris Robinson revealed that they made the entire album in eight to ten days.

Robinson went on, “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.”

Rick Robinson agreed, stating that the album feels “transformative” for the pair, adding, “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.”

Their last album, Happiness Bastards, was released in 2024. Subsequently, it was nominated ‘Best Rock Album’ at the 2025 Grammy Awards. However, The Rolling Stones ended up taking home the award for their project, Hackney Diamonds.

With ‘Profane Prophecy’, the band opens with fun, funky lyricism: “My pedigree and debauchery is my claim to fame / the profane prophecy has got me in its sweet embrace.”

‘Profane Prophecy’, the album opener, and ‘Pharmacy Chronicles’, from the upcoming album, are available to stream now. See the full tracklisting below.
