The Black Crowes have released the official music video for “Wanting And Waiting”. The track is taken from the band’s upcoming album, “Happiness Bastards”, which will arrive on March 15. The band’s first full-length LP of new material in 15 years will be released via The Black Crowes‘ own record label, Silver Arrow Records.
The Black Crowes leaders Chris Robinson (lead vocals) and Rich Robinson (guitar) worked on the follow-up to 2009’s “Before The Frost… Until The Freeze” with producer Jay Joyce.
In a previous statement, Chris said: “‘Happiness Bastards’ is our love letter to rock ‘n’ roll. Rich and I are always writing and creating music; that has never stopped for us, and it is always where we find harmony together. This record represents that.”
Rich added: “This album is a continuation of our story as a band. Our years of experience writing and making music and touring the world are represented in this record, and we were brilliantly guided by one of the best producers in the business, Jay Joyce. I am incredibly proud of what we put together.”
“Happiness Bastards” contains 10 tracks, including a guest appearance by Lainey Wilson, a Grammy-nominated country singer, and songwriter who rose to prominence after her music was featured on the television drama “Yellowstone”. She was named the 2023 CMA Entertainer Of The Year.
