Early Life and Education
Richard Robinson was born on May 24, 1969, in Atlanta, Georgia, to Nancy and singer Stan Robinson. He has an older brother named Chris. The siblings attended Walton High School in Marietta during their teenage years.
The Black Crowes
In 1984, while still students at Walton High School, Rich and Chris formed a band called Mr. Crowe’s Garden, taking inspiration from a cherished childhood fairytale. The lineup expanded in 1987 with the addition of Jeff Cease and Steve Gorman. By 1989, Johnny Colt joined the group, and they officially changed their name to the Black Crowes. The band achieved breakthrough success in 1990 with their debut album, “Shake Your Money Maker,” which peaked at number four on the Billboard 200, featuring hit singles like “Hard to Handle” and “She Talks to Angels.” Following the album’s release, Cease departed and was replaced by Marc Ford.
In 1992, the Black Crowes released their second album, “The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion,” which topped the Billboard 200 and reached number two on the UK Albums Chart, producing hit singles such as “Remedy” and “Sting Me.” Their subsequent album, “Amorica,” came out in 1994 but did not achieve the same level of commercial success. This was followed by “Three Snakes and One Charm” in 1996 and “By Your Side,” which marked the band’s first album featuring bassist Sven Pipien. They concluded the decade with the release of “Lions” in 2001 before entering a hiatus in 2002.
The band reunited in early 2005, initially without Gorman, who later returned to record the 2008 studio album “Warpaint” with new members Luther Dickinson and Adam MacDougall. The album debuted at number five on the Billboard 200. The Black Crowes followed with “Before the Frost…Until the Freeze” in 2009, which also debuted at number five. Their 2010 acoustic album, “Croweology,” was released before the band initially announced their breakup in 2015. However, they reunited in 2019 and went on to release the EP “1972” in 2022, as well as their ninth studio album, “Happiness Bastards,” in 2024.
