The Black Crowes is a US blues rock band from Atlanta, Georgia. They were formed in 1989 and experienced a three-year hiatus between 2002 and 2005. Disbanded in January 2015 due to a dispute, the band reformed in late 2019 after the brothers Robinson resolved their differences. With an all-new band behind them, they are planning an exciting tour throughout 2021.

Chris Robinson has been the lead vocalist of The Black Crowes since its formation in 1989. Rich Robinson, on the other hand, has been handling guitar duties alongside Chris since the beginning as well.

The current lineup of The Black Crowes includes Isiah Mitchell and Tim Lefebvre on guitars and bass respectively. Joel Robinow takes care of keyboards while Raj Ojha handles drumming responsibilities for the band.

to truly appreciate a black crowes cd, one must immerse oneself fully in the band's down-and-dirty milieu. throw any and all sensitivity to current musical trends out the window and step into a timeless realm of rootsy, southern-tinged blues-rock that carefully straddles the dividing line between zeppelin-ish riffing and neo-soul. foregoing luxurious studio surroundings, the band transplanted itself to a renovated vaudeville theater in new york city for the recording of 'lions'. the results don't offer as many memorable hooks as 'by your side', but make total sense in the context of albums such as 'amorica' and 'three snakes and one charm'. with 'lions' the atlanta natives tread on some familiar territory while adding some fresh sonic footprints to their legacy. gone is the punchy, poppier approach that producer kevin shirley influenced on preceding works, as control room legend don was (who along with guitarist rich robinson tackled bass chores in the absence of sven pipien) takes the helm for a warmer, if not retro vibe.
