A Pound of Feathers is the tenth studio album by American rock band the Black Crowes, released on March 13, 2026, via the band's own Silver Arrow label.
A Pound of Feathers is the band's tenth studio album following their ninth album Happiness Bastards. When asked about the album's creation, Chris Robinson explained during a Zoom meeting with Billboard magazine:
Two singles preceded the album: "Profane Prophecy" / "Pharmacy Chronicles" on January 9, 2026, and "It's Like That" on January 28. A Pound of Feathers was released on March 13, 2026, on Silver Arrow Records, a record label owned by the Black Crowes themselves.
The review aggregator AnyDecentMusic? gave the album a weighted average score of 7.6 out of 10 from seven critic scores.
Writing for Classic Rock magazine, Pat Carty said that it "is not quite as immediate,... as Happiness Bastards, but repeated listens pay off", comparing the relationship between the two to that of The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion and Amorica. In a PopMatters review, Michael Elliott stated that it "plays like a greatest hits of the Robinsons, just dressed up in new clothes", concluding by stating "It's a talent that may not prove hall-of-fame worthy, but it's close enough for rock and roll." In a review for The Guardian, Steve Chick wrote that after the critical success of Happiness Bastards, their new record saw them "returning to a winning formula" without becoming "formulaic or phoned-in" for a band of their age. Tim Sendra concludes an AllMusic review by saying it "comes damn close" to the quality of The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion and Amorica, "and that's enough to make it something quite special".
