"A lot of my comments during that time came out of being in a depression," Robinson tells Mojo in an interview promoting their new album, Happiness Bastards. "Back then, no one cared if you were depressed and had to go on a press tour."
This was all happening as The Black Crowes were gaining fame with their debut album, Shake Your Money Maker, and Chris says another problem was that critics seemed to not get their music, often comparing them to other bands.
Happiness Bastards, The Black Crowes' first album of new music in 15 years, comes out Friday, March 15. It is available for preorder now.
