Bio

The Black Crowes est un groupe américain de rock, originaire d'Atlanta, en Géorgie. Il est formé en 1989 et dissout en 2015. Le groupe s'est reformé en 2020.

Leur rock sudiste est très fortement influencé par des pionniers tels que The Allman Brothers Band et Lynyrd Skynyrd, mais aussi largement ancré dans la musique des Faces, de groupes des années 1960-1970 tels que les Rolling Stones (période Mick Taylor) ou bien encore Led Zeppelin. Leurs influences se dirigent aussi vers les The Velvet Underground dont ils feront quelques reprises comme celle de la chanson Oh! Sweet Nuthin, mais qui se rapprochera malgré tout encore une fois du style sudiste.

En 1990, les lecteurs de Rolling Stone les nomment « meilleur nouveau groupe américain ». Le groupe se place 92e de la liste des « 100 meilleurs groupes de hard rock » établie par VH1. Ils comptent plus de 30 millions d'albums vendus à travers le monde et sont qualifiés par Melody Maker de « plus grand groupe de rock 'n' roll du monde ».

The Black Crowes are an American rock band formed in Atlanta, Georgia in 1984. Their discography includes ten studio albums, four live albums, and several charting singles. The band was signed to Def American Recordings in 1989 by producer George Drakoulias and released their debut album, Shake Your Money Maker, the following year. Their follow-up, The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion, reached the top of the Billboard 200 in 1992. The albums Amorica (1994), Three Snakes and One Charm (1996), By Your Side (1999), and Lions (2001) followed, with each showing moderate popularity but failing to capture the chart successes of the band's first two albums. After a hiatus from 2002 to 2005, the band regrouped and toured for several years before releasing Warpaint in 2008, which reached number 5 on the Billboard chart.

Following the release of their greatest hits/acoustic double album Croweology in August 2010, the band started a 20th anniversary tour that was followed by a second hiatus. After touring in 2013, the band announced another breakup in 2015, reforming in late 2019 to announce a 2020 tour in support of the 30th anniversary of Shake Your Money Maker. By this point the band had none of its original line-up left except for Chris and Rich Robinson, the only two constant members of the band over its entire history.

The Black Crowes have sold more than 30 million albums, and are listed at number 92 on VH1's 100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock. They were labeled by Melody Maker as "The Most Rock 'n' Roll Rock 'n' Roll Band in the World" and the readers of Rolling Stone voted them 'Best New American Band' in 1990. Their ninth studio album, Happiness Bastards, was released in March 2024 and nominated for the Best Rock Album Grammy later that year. In 2025 and 2026, the band was nominated for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
