#THEBLACKCROWES new album “#HappinessBastards” is coming out independently on Silver Arrow Records, after 15 years and after the long awaited reunion, on March 15th 2024: is this definitely the new beginning of another long journey? Which other album its genesis and mood is comparable to? Yours truly BARBARA CASERTA got the rare chance to go deepen in its naturally complex creative process, spirit, inspiration, making and production (by Jay Joyce), with Mr #RICHROBINSON himself, the guitarist and the sound of The Most Rock'n'Roll Rock'n'Roll Band... and is this new group a team like it used to be in the early days? On January 23rd 2024 we amiably talked past, present and future (including the upcoming tour setlists, opening “the vaults” of reissues, The Magpie Salute and his quick lap in Bad Company), via Zoom from Atlanta, for LINEA ROCK. And by the way, who in the end made “that” call?! Here comes the full chat... Thanks Duff Press and Thanks Rich!

    There are hardly any interviews with just Rich, so this was really cool! I saw The Black Crowes for the first time this past February and the setlist was great! They played the typical hits, but they also played deep cuts like "Gone" and "Paint an 8," which was really cool! I love that they change up the setlist often to keep things fresh. The new album sounds great, by the way!

    Artificial music is “antithetical to humanity” - great perspective
  • This interview was a year ago. Misleading its says 2 months. Old news
  • I just don't understand why such amazing musicians and fans of music the brothers are - why oh why have they picked such leaden and soul less drummers in place of Steve Gorman. Obviously Gorman is a hard act to follow, but Jesus, surely they can hear how unsuitable the new drummer is /have been?! I love the new record. I thinks the drumming works. - as it is basically a straight-out / AC/DC record. But when you hear either of the guys (on record or tour) they sound SO out of place/leaden with most of the older tunes. Like I say - I love the new album and I'm glad they're back, but please, c'mon boys, 'sort it out'!! 🙂

    Rich is a riff master and excellent songwriter. One of my favorites. That being said him and his brother are cold blooded, narcissist pricks. Read the Gorman book. He won’t be getting sued, because it’s all true with many witnesses. Now it’s about playing the game and cashing in. They didn’t for decades. They had their middle fingers firmly in the air…..now? Not so much. It’s why they have an average drummer, lead guitar, keyboards…because real quality costs a little more.
