According to information provided about The Black Crowes: "15 years after their last album of original music, the Robinson Brothers present Happiness Bastards– their 10th studio album. Some may say the project has been several tumultuous years in the making, but we argue it's arriving at just the right time. Call it brotherly love or music destiny that brought them back together, the highly anticipated record consecrating the reunion of this legendary band just may be the thing that saves rock & roll. In a time where the art form is buried beneath the corporate sheen of its successors, The Black Crowes are biting back with the angst of words left unsaid penned on paper and electrified by guitar strings, revealing stripped, bare-boned rock & roll. No gloss, no glitter, just rhythm and blues at its very best – gritty, loud, and in your face."

The band's recent history includes reuniting in 2019 after several years apart and performing over 150 shows across 20 countries as part of their tour celebrating Shake Your Money Maker’s anniversary. After returning from touring, members Chris Robinson and Rich Robinson along with bassist Sven Pipien recorded new material with producer Jay Joyce in early 2023.
