BLACK COUNTRY COMMUNION Summarized
June 1, 2010, 14 years ago
The following summary on new supergroup BLACK COUNTRY COMMUNION has been posted at the website of drummer Jason Bonham (LED ZEPPELIN, BONHAM):
Black Country Communion is a devastating head-on collision between American and British rock influences—a true supergroup that delivers a titanic rock experience greater than the sum of its supremely talented parts.
The seed for Black Country Communion was planted when legendary frontman and bass guitarist GLENN HUGHES (DEEP PURPLE, BLACK SABBATH, TRAPEZE) and master blues-rock guitarist JOE BONAMASSA combined forces on stage in Los Angeles in November 2009 for an explosive performance at Guitar Center’s King Of The Blues event.
The brainchild of producer Kevin Shirley (BLACK CROWES, AEROSMITH, Led Zeppelin), the band added to its rock lineage with powerhouse drummer Jason Bonham (Led Zeppelin, FOREIGNER) and keyboardist DEREK SHERINIAN (DREAM THEATER, BILLY IDOL, ALICE COOPER). Named after the industrial area in Britain where both Hughes and Bonham were born and raised, Black Country Communion began rehearsing and recording tracks written by both Bonamassa and Hughes at Shangri-La Studios in early 2010. Their new album, which has yet to be named, will debut in September 2010.
