"Soul Singing" was co-written, like all original Black Crowes songs, by Chris and
Rich Robinson . The song began with a riff that Rich had written a "long time" before the recording of "Lions".Cite web |url=http://www.nudeasthenews.com/interviews/35 |title=Roaring Like Lions: Rich |author=Cohen, Jonathan |publisher=Nude as the News |date=May 16, 2001 |archiveurl=http://web.archive.org/web/20030120100155/http://www.nudeasthenews.com/interviews/35 |archivedate=2003-01-20 |accessdate=2008-06-02] Chris then added the vocal melodies and corresponding lyrics, which pertained to his then-wife,Kate Hudson .Cite news |last = Goodman |first = Dean |title = Black Crowes Singer in a Whole Lotta Love |publisher = Reuters |year = 2001 |date = May 24, 2001] While Chris believed this early form of "Soul Singing", with one instrumental section throughout, sufficed, Rich argued a second section was needed. "So we talked about that one for a while", recalled Rich, who ultimately won the argument.cite journal |last = Callaghan |first = John |title = The Lion, The Spliff & The Wardrobe |journal = Guitar |volume = 11 |issue = 12 |pages = 38–44 |date = June 2001 |issn = 1525-5549 |oclc = 41594333]Rich recorded his guitar part with a James Trussart metal-bodied electric, which offered a resonator-like tone. "I knew that guitar was the only one that could go from sounding acoustic in the verses to electric in the chorus in the way that I wanted", said Rich.
