The Chris Robinson Brotherhood

Description:

Chris Robinson Brotherhood is a band led by former Black Crowes frontman Chris Robinson. Two years after their last album, which was as highly acclaimed as ever, the band has finally completed their fourth album, their first self-produced album. When the band entered the studio to record their new album, "Any Way You Love, We Know How You Feel," no one could have predicted what it would sound like. This is our first album with a new drummer, Tony Leone, our first album since the departure of bassist Mark "Muddy" Dutton, who has been a member of the band since the beginning, and our first album as a self-produced band. While the songs and arrangements for previous albums were decided in advance, Chris Robinson was more open-minded about the recording of this album. He was open to changing band members, and the recording was done in a manner that leans toward the improvisational approach that the band has always exhibited in their live performances.We tried not to see these changes as a challenge, but as something a little more exciting. It was a good opportunity for us to see where our expression could take us. Some people get really tense when recording, but for us it's better to be a little relaxed. We just followed our instincts and let the ideas come to us. It's the most spontaneous work I've ever been involved with," said Chris Robinson. What's more, this album has turned out to be one of the best recording experiences we've ever had. The band moved to northern California for the sessions, and the recording took place under the best possible conditions on the side of a mountain overlooking the misty Pacific Ocean. The melancholic climate of the region, combined with the majesty of nature, is infused into the eight songs on the album.
