"Basically, it's just for anyone over 40 then? I mean, I'm far older than that. I find it weird looking back. Rock and roll is different from pop music. They're like, I have a billion streams and now I have my own chicken restaurant. Oh my God, I can't wait until the next album. They must be so busy with biscuit recipes. Or, This is my new energy drink and this is a credit card commercial. Hey, man, it's capitalism. I dig it."
"Robinson, together with his brother, Rich, have been the two continuous Black Crowes members throughout their turbulent history - unapologetic stewards who carried the tradition of American rock music during a transitional period for the genre. Now they're having another big year. The band's tenth album, A Pound of Feathers, was released earlier this March, and they've been nominated a second time for the Rock Hall among a particularly stacked ballot of contenders."
"Robinson promises, above all else, that the Black Crowes remain one of the best visceral experiences you can find in music. Perfection, he says, has never been what we're looking for around here."
Chris Robinson reflects on the Black Crowes' 36-year career and eligibility for Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction, expressing bemusement at legacy musician classifications. He contrasts rock and roll with contemporary pop music, critiquing modern artists' focus on commercial ventures like restaurants and energy drinks rather than artistic dedication. The Robinson brothers have remained the band's continuous members throughout their turbulent history, serving as stewards of American rock during a transitional period for the genre. The Black Crowes released their tenth album, A Pound of Feathers, in March and received a second Rock Hall nomination. The band maintains an extensive touring schedule and emphasizes delivering powerful live performances, with Chris stating that perfection has never been their primary goal.
