Rock ’n’ roll legends, The Black Crowes, were on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon last night promoting their new album, Happiness Bastards. The band performed the single, "Wanting And Waiting", and frontman Chris Robinson sat down with Fallon to talk about releasing new material 15 years later, him and his brother getting into fights while in the band, getting "fired" from a ZZ Top tour, and his wife painting the Happiness Bastards album cover. Watch the footage below:

2024 marks 40 years since the inception of The Black Crowes, and the Robinson Brothers are claiming this momentous year as their own. A salute to their past and a celebration of the present and future, Happiness Bastards is The Black Crowes’ tenth studio album and their first original music in 15 years. Produced by Grammy Award-Winning producer Jay Joyce, the album includes ten new tracks, with a very special feature from Grammy-winning superstar Lainey Wilson.
