The Black Crowes have today released their new single titled ‘It’s Like That’, from their upcoming album ‘A Pound of Feathers’, dropping March 13th via Silver Arrow Records.
There’s a certain authority that comes with longevity, and The Black Crowes wear it without apology on ‘It’s Like That’. This isn’t a band reaching backward for relevance or polishing old trophies for display. Instead, the song arrives with the confidence of artists who’ve already earned their place in rock history and now operate free of expectation. The groove is unhurried but deliberate, rooted in blues and Southern grit, carrying the unmistakable DNA that has followed the band from smoky clubs to arena stages. What stands out immediately is the absence of desperation—this track doesn’t ask for attention, it assumes it.
Musically, ‘It’s Like That’ thrives in restraint. The guitars don’t scream for dominance; they converse, circling the rhythm with a loose, lived-in feel. There’s a sense of space here that modern rock often forgets—room for breath, for swagger, for the kind of subtle tension that only reveals itself over repeat listens. Vocally, the delivery feels seasoned rather than strained, as if the song is less a performance and more a statement of fact. The Black Crowes aren’t explaining themselves anymore; they’re reporting from experience.
What gives the track its real weight, though, is how effortlessly it fits into the band’s larger narrative. Since emerging at the tail end of the ’80s, The Black Crowes have stood as one of the last great American rock bands to bridge eras—pulling from blues, gospel, and classic rock while still sounding unmistakably of their time. Their catalog helped keep roots-driven rock alive during periods when trends leaned synthetic or disposable. ‘It’s Like That’ feels like a continuation of that mission, not as nostalgia, but as proof of durability. In a genre that often burns bright and fades fast, The Black Crowes endure by staying honest, and this song quietly reinforces why their voice still matters.
About ‘A Pound of Feathers’ & Tour
Fresh off a career-spanning resurgence that included a 2025 GRAMMY nod for Best Rock Album (Happiness Bastards) and their first nomination into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the iconic band The Black Crowes will release their unfiltered, heart-pounding new album, ‘A Pound of Feathers’, March 13, before hitting the road, where they’ll continue to deliver the same lawless and swaggering sound that made them one of the most explosive live acts of our generation.
With fellow trailblazing renegades Whiskey Myers co-headlining the bill, the multi-Platinum independent band’s live show will showcase fan favorites from their robust catalog alongside their latest record, ‘Whomp Whack Thunder’. The critically acclaimed album further sharpens the lyrical focus and raw edge that have long defined the band, reinforcing their reputation as one of the most uncompromising bands in music today.

About The Black Crowes
Founded by brothers Chris and Rich Robinson, The Black Crowes make music for the mavericks, playing rock ‘n’ roll that’s hip-swinging and heavy, dirty and debonaire, bluesy and ballsy, ecstatic and electrifying, and soulful and soaring. They don’t fall in line, and they never cared to either. Instead, they’re right at home with the outsiders, the drifters, the lost souls, the hustlers, and the hellraisers who inhabit timeless tunes like “She Talks To Angels,” “Hard To Handle,” “Wiser Time,” “Twice As Hard,” and “Black Moon Creeping.”
No matter where culture went, the multiplatinum GRAMMY® Award-nominated group fearlessly charted their own course, taking flight with the 5x-Platinum Shake Your Money Maker and never coming back down. Their path twisted and turned from seminal records a la the 2x-Platinum Billboard 200 #1 LP The Southern Harmony And Musical Companion and Gold-certified follow-up Amorica to a once-in-a-lifetime jaunt with Jimmy Page and accompanying Gold-certified live record: Live at the Greek.
The band’s lore expanded with the chart-shaking Warpaint and Before the Frost…Until the Freeze. Another generation fell under their spell as they launched their biggest headline tour yet to celebrate Shake Your Money Maker’s 30th birthday. They lit up the next chapter with 2024’s Happiness Bastards—which garnered a 2025 GRAMMY® Award nod for Best Rock Album. Between widespread critical praise, they even picked up a 2025 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame® nomination. Rather than rest on their laurels, Chris and Rich will embark on their Southern Hospitality Tour this summer, following the release of their tenth full-length offering, A Pound of Feathers, out March 13. Promising uncompromising, urgent, and undeniable rock ‘n’ roll, it’s the sound of unrepentant creative spirits in harmony. It’s the sound of The Black Crowes.
From thunderous drums, blistering guitar work, and lyrics that don’t flinch, fans can expect a roaring setlist stacked with classics, deep cuts, and the kind of onstage band chemistry and electrifying stage presence that can’t be replicated.
Career-defining anthems to crowd-roaring singalongs, every night promises to be a full-throttle reminder that rock-n-roll is alive and well and best served up loud, outrageous and a little dangerous.
