CHRIS ROBINSON: Once A Crowe…Now A Brother
The former Black Crowes vocalist Chris Robinson has led his own band into being an A-List act. The Chris Robinson Brotherhood are a righteously rockin’ psychedelic, post-Southern Rock, folk-jam band led by the charismatic singer-songwriter whose voice on the new self-released Servants of the Sun sounds better than ever, with its jagged edges and Georgia-Soul proclivities on lyrics that, if not quite autobiographical, are personal, idiosyncratic and thought-provoking. It completes this wholly satisfying package.
The choice of the word ‘Brotherhood’ in itself can be seen as ironic as Chris Robinson has not spoken to his own brother (and Black Crowes guitarist) Rich Robinson for many years. But we won’t bring that up this time around.
