RICH ROBINSON Back on the Wing As the co-founder of the Black Crowes preps a new album, we speak with him about the band, its classic sound and style, and the vintage electric and acoustic instruments he has used to record its many hits.

But it was “Don Kirschner’s Rock Concert” that influenced him to pick up his instrument of choice.
