Mar 11, 2024Marvellous album. .... A rock'n'roll record that's funkier than a tramp's kacks, more soulful than a gospel convention, warmer than a mother's love and groovier than the Grand Canyon. [Apr 2024, p.78]
-
Mar 27, 2024The record doesn’t break any new ground, but it walks familiar paths with confidence.

Mar 21, 2024For a band that often got lost in a hippie haze, this all-business approach pays off great dividends: it's easy to hear how the Robinsons are ideal collaborators, tempering each other's excesses and accentuating their shared love for the best of classic rock.

MojoMar 11, 2024Tapping myriad trusted influences yet distilling something uniquely corvine, it's a thrilling return. [Apr 2024, p.82]

Mar 14, 2024It’s a respectable collection of bluesy rockers that showcase the brothers’ strengths.

Mar 18, 2024he biggest shoes to fill are their own, and for much of Happiness Bastards, Chris and Rich Robinson acquit themselves admirably. The biggest takeaway might be that this is certainly not a band whose best days are behind them. One can only hope for more to come.

Mar 11, 2024Yes, it’s now the Robinsons’ show with backing musicians. And yes, the swing and inventiveness of the mighty Steve Gorman is missed, but as always, the songs are what matters most, and Happiness Bastards gives us ten good reasons to believe that rock and roll is still a long way from the graveyard.
-
Mar 14, 2024On Happiness Bastards the brothers Crowe retreat to their safer classic rock roots with efforts that gun for mid-70’s arena swagger, falling short of the band’s prime, a touch uninspired and derivative of their best work.
