Kentucky rockers BLACK STONE CHERRY check in with the following update:

"Hello brothers and sisters!

We are writing this today from Houston, TX, right outside the House Of Blues. It being the first day of September, we wanted let you all in on something we have dubbed as "Southern Rock Revival Month" here at the BSC camp! Why, you may ask... hell, why can't every month be "Southern Rock" month? Well, within these upcoming 30 days, there are new releases from BSC, THE KENTUCKY HEADHUNTERS and LYNYRD SKYNYRD! Oh yes.. it's happening. Ha!

On September 7th, our brand new single, 'Soulcreek', will ship out to rock radio all over the US! It's official add date for stations will be the 28th!! So get ready and start requestin' the fun, rowdy, wild eyed tune we call 'Soulcreek'!! It's about time!! We are extremely happy that this is our new single and it's a fun one to play live as well... especially with the extra intro we added on... shhh... (if you've already seen it)!

On September 22nd, the Grammy award winning Kentucky Headhunters will release an Authorized Bootleg via Universal, and will hit your favorite music outlet on September 22nd, 2009. Recorded May 13th, 1990 by the original line-up at the legendary Agora Ballroom in Cleveland Ohio, the recording contains all the 1st album, plus several surprises presented the way the Heads always have.... delight to those who know their music, and shock and awe to those experiencing it for the first time.

And last but obviously not least, on September 29th, our southern rock fathers Lynyrd Skynyrd will release their brand new studio album, God & Guns! This is Skynyrd's first studio release in several years and was produced by Bob Marelette (Folklore And Superstition)! We made really great friends with Johnny, Rickey, and the rest of the Skynyrd camp while on tour this summer and we are anxious for this new release!

Now, you've heard the news.. so it's your job to spread it where you can!! 3 BIG releases in one month, all from the same vein of real, well spirited rock and roll! Enjoy!!"
