Black Country Communion the Anglo-American rock group comprising vocalist\/bassist Glenn Hughes (Deep Purple, Trapeze), drummer Jason Bonham (Led Zeppelin, Foreigner), Derek Sherinian (Dream Theater, Alice Cooper, Billy Idol) and blues-rock guitarist\/vocalist Joe Bonamassa, release their third album, \u2018Afterglow\u2019, via Mascot Records on Monday October 29th.<\/p>\n
Like its two predecessors, \u2018Afterglow\u2019 was produced by Kevin Shirley, whose catalogue of hit records for Led Zeppelin, Iron Maiden, Aerosmith and the Black Crowes has made him the hottest producer that rock music has to offer. Shirley \u2013 who had the idea of putting Hughes and Bonamassa together in a band after seeing them jam onstage back in 2009 \u2013 is the group\u2019s unofficial \u2018fifth member\u2019.<\/p>\n
The additions of Jason Bonham, esteemed son of Led Zeppelin\u2019s John, who took his father\u2019s place when the legendary group made musical history by reuniting at London\u2019s O2 Arena in December 2007, and the in-demand Derek Sherinian, makes BCC a force to be reckoned with. <\/p>\n
Both BCC\u2019s previous offerings (2010\u2019s eponymous debut album and 2011\u2019s \u201c2\u201d) have gone straight in at #1 on the official UK Rock Album Chart. Embraced by the UK\u2019s music press, Black Country Communion were voted \u201cBest New Band\u201d by the listeners of Planet Rock Radio and won \u201cBest Breakthrough\u201d at the prestigious Classic Rock Magazine Roll Of Honour Awards in 2011. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
