The collaboration between Lainey Wilson and the Black Crowes happened in a very natural way. Chris Robinson, a member of the Black Crowes, happened to meet Lainey Wilson randomly and discovered that she was a fan of their music.
You can find a track titled "Wilted Rose" on the latest album, Happiness Bastards, by the Black Crowes. In an interview with Loudwire Nights, Robinson mentions that he encountered Wilson on the red carpet during a country awards ceremony. At the 2023 CMT Music Awards, the Black Crowes collaborated with Darius Rucker for a performance of "She Talks to Angels".
Robinson remembers her as a very kind and affectionate person who expressed her excitement, saying, "I can't believe it! I was a fan of the Black Crowes since I was a child."
During a brief break between interviews and other activities, the producer Jay Joyce approached her and made a request, to which she readily agreed and carried it out.
Joyce was also responsible for producing the last two albums of Wilson. "Wilted Rose" is significant because it is the first instance where the Black Crowes collaborated with a different vocalist for an album.
