The Chris Robinson Brotherhood

Back in the early days of the Black Crowes (remember "Hard to Handle"?), it might've been tough to predict that frontman Chris Robinson would go on to have a long and fruitful career—both with his main band and away from it. Here, Robinson purveys his easygoing yet poignant soul-rock with a new crew of compatriots. They're currently touring behind a pair of loose, bluesy 2012 LPs: Big Moon Ritual and The Magic Door.
