\n\tWhen the Black Crowes<\/a>\u2019 quarreling siblings Chris Robinson<\/a> and Rich Robinson<\/a> patched up their differences to reunite the band in 2019, two members of another fractured brother band \u2014 Oasis<\/a> \u2014\u00a0were paying attention. At least according to Crowes singer Chris Robinson.<\/p>\n \n\tDuring an appearance on Rolling Stone<\/em>\u2019s Nashville Now<\/a><\/em> podcast in support of their new album, A Pound of Feathers<\/em>, which the Black Crowes<\/a> recorded in Nashville, Chris says his repaired relationship with guitarist Rich lit the way for Liam Gallagher<\/a> and Noel Gallagher<\/a> to do the same<\/a> in 2025.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cOf course we did. There\u2019s no doubt in my mind that we didn\u2019t,\u201d he says. \u201cI don\u2019t care what Noel or Liam say. They are that heavily influenced by how Rich and I\u2019s relationship is going.\u201d Rich, seated next to him, just laughed.<\/p>\n \n\tBut Chris, always animated, carried on. \u201cI would say we\u2019re the barometer to their family dynamic. That\u2019s just a fact,\u201d he says. \u201cAnd I\u2019d like to see either of them deny it.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tThe two rock bands, one formed in Atlanta in the Eighties, the other in Manchester, England, at the dawn of the Nineties, do have a history together. In 2001, the Black Crowes and Oasis teamed up for a co-headlining trek across the United States and Canada. Dubbed \u201cThe Tour of Brotherly Love,\u201d it also featured Spacehog, another sibling band led by Royston and Antony Langdon, who scored a hit in 1995 with \u201cIn the Meantime.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tWhile on paper, the pairing of the Black Crowes and Oasis may spell disaster, Rich Robinson has fond memories of the run. \u201cIt was amazing,\u201d he says. \u201cThat was a great tour.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tIn 2019, the Robinsons mended fences to reform their band six years after their last performance. \u201cI told [our friend], \u2018Man, it would just be cool to be able to play songs with my brother,\u2019\u201d Rich told Rolling Stone <\/em><\/a>then. \u201cAnd he said, \u2018Y\u2019know, Chris said the same thing to me.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tAfter riding out the pandemic, the Crowes hit the road in 2021 and have been at it since. They released the Grammy-nominated Happiness Bastards<\/em> in 2024, a record made with Nashville producer Jay Joyce, and returned to Music City to cut A Pound of Feathers<\/em>, also with Joyce.<\/p>\n
