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.

The addition of the more technically gifted guitarist Marc Ford and a full-time organist gives the Black Crowes room to stretch out on 'The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion', perhaps the band's finest moment. Using Rich Robinson's descending chord progressions as a base, the band grooves its way through a remarkably fresh-sounding collection of Faces-like rockers and ballads, tearing into the material with flair and confidence and really coming into its own as a top-notch rock and roll outfit. But while the focus is undeniably on the band's musical chemistry, 'Southern Harmony' also boasts a strong collection of songs, striking a perfect balance between the concise 'Shake Your Money Maker' and their later, more jam-oriented records. While there aren't as many obvious singles as on their debut album, 'The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion' is the best expression of the Crowes' ability to take a classic, tried-and-true sound and make it their own.
