Black Country Communion - Full Details NOW!
UK Album Release: September 20th
US Album Release: September 21st
Black Country Communion the Anglo/American rock supergroup comprising vocalist/bassist Glenn Hughes (Deep Purple Black Sabbath, Trapeze), drummer Jason Bonham (Led Zeppelin, Foreigner, UFO, Airrace, Bonham), Derek Sherinian (Dream Theater) and blues rock guitarist Joe Bonamassa, today confirmed the release date and track listing for their highly anticipated debut album “Black Country”.
The album will be released by Mascot Records in the UK and the rest of Europe on Monday September 20th, followed by a North American release through J&R Adventures on Tuesday September 21st.
All songs are sung by Glenn Hughes, with the exception of Song Of Yesterday and The Revolution In Me which are both sung by Joe Bonamassa. Hughes and Bonamassa share lead vocals on the songs Sista Jane and Too Late For The Sun.
Also included on the album is a new version of Medusa, the classic rock song that Hughes originally recorded with his first band Trapeze.
Black Country Communion is the brainchild of producer Kevin Shirley (Black Crowes, Aerosmith, Led Zeppelin). The album, produced and mixed by Shirley, is mastered by the legendary Bob Ludwig.
Black Country Communion initially came to fruition when Kevin Shirley saw Glenn Hughes and Joe Bonamassa join forces on stage in Los Angeles in November 2009 for an explosive performance at Guitar Center’s King of the Blues event.
Shirley recruited powerhouse drummer Jason Bonham (Led Zeppelin, Foreigner) and keyboardist Derek Sherinian (Dream Theater, Billy Idol, Alice Cooper).
The band, named after the industrial area in the British Midlands where both Hughes and Bonham were born and raised, recorded the debut album at Shangri-La Studios in early 2010, and are planning a tour in 2011.

Bad Company to make 2010 US live shows music available
It seems that Bad Company are continuing to follow where others have led in releasing the live sets from each night of their forthcoming US Tour dates. I do personally still think that $30 for a CD is pricey, even if it is from the show you've just attended.
Also, how can an album be fully mixed and mastered and then given out right after a show?
Wouldn't the engineer need to go over the recording a few times first to tweak where needed?
I don't buy that statement, sorry!
Read on with this statement from their website:
