Someone is sure giving love a bad name on "Cross Your Fingers," the second single from The Black Crowes' upcoming album Happiness Bastards. Thankfully, the heartbreak is balanced by some sweet guitar licks courtesy of Rich Robinson, and that soulful chorus makes it all seem okay—even if just for a couple minutes.

Happiness Bastards, due 3/15 on their own Silver Arrow Records, is the Crowes' first new album in 15 years. The Jay Joyce-produced set has already yielded "Wanting and Waiting," which has gone top 10 at AAA, Americana and Active Rock. Wethinks the Lainey Wilson-featuring "Wilted Rose" is a keeper too.

The Red Light-managed Crowes will support Happiness Bastards on the road beginning 4/2 in Nashville and will proceed to such locales as Los Angeles' Greek Theatre (4/12) and New York's Radio City Music Hall (4/27). Europe is on tap in May and June, which is the perfect time to shake one's money maker.

Mediabase presented Shinedown with an award commemorating their status as the greatest rock band in chart history with the most No. #1s, Top 5s and Top 10s in the Mediabase Active Rock category. The multi-platinum band has achieved a record-breaking 23 chart-topping songs total (21 in Active Rock), including "A Symptom of Being Human."

"Our congratulations to Shinedown for this remarkable feat," Mediabase President/CEO Philippe Generall said. "Their success serves as a testament to their exceptional talent and the unwavering support of their fanbase."

Shinedown is currently nominated for Rock Artist of the Year at this year’s iHeartRadio Music Awards. They are also up for Rock Song of the Year for “Dead Don’t Die” and Favorite Tour Photographer for Sanjay Parikh. Frontman Brent Smith recently made a surprise appearance at iHeartRadio’s ALTer EGO in Anaheim, California to introduce Bush alongside Alt 98.7’s Booker & Stryker.
