HCTF review of "2".
After a short tour in the UK with Fish, Singer/bass player Glenn Hughes will be in the studio in June, laying down tracks for the third Black Communion album. He is back on the road again in July:
Hard hitting blues rockers Black Country Communion were on tour in Europe in the Summer of 2011. Three shows in Germany (Hamburg, Munich and Berlin) were filmed with 14 HD cameras. Live Over Europe sees them playing up a storm, playing 16 songs songs from their two studio albums, a Joe Bonamassa solo song (The Ballad Of John Henry) and Burn, a Deep Purple cover. Bass player and lead singer has every right to do so - he played and sang on the original way back in 1974.
The seeds for Black Country Communion were sown when Hughes ran into guitar player Joe Bonamassa in Sao Paolo in 1999. They jammed occasionally over the years, nothing serious, but when drummer Jason Bonham and keyboard player Derek Sherinian joined in at the suggestion of producer Kevin Shirley things kinda snowballed. They quickly laid down the songs for a debut album and hit the road. All four are busy guys, but they obviously enjoyed the sessions and subsequent tour and so they decided to do it again this year, after they had released their sophomore album "2".
A one-night only screening on Tuesday November 1st of the Black Country Communion's debut concert film Live Over Europe in high definition and Dolby 5.1 surround sound. Seventeen songs culled from their two studio albums plus a cover of the Deep Purple track Burn.
Participating Vue Cinemas in Birmingham, Bristol, Bury, Cambridge, Doncaster, Dublin, Edinburgh, Exeter, Hull, Leeds, Leicester, London West End, Oxford, Portsmouth, Swansea and York are pre–booking tickets. The Live Over Europe 2-DVD set will be released on October 24th.

The second Black Country Communion album is simply named "2". The heavy blues rock supergroup has turned into a real band, not just a side-project. Four individuals have melted into one, sharing a love for Seventies rock - it doesn't hurt that bass player and singer Glenn Hughes was already at large then, playing in Deep Purple and Black Sabbath.
For the second effort the band allows the tracks to breathe - some of them are over six minutes long. Guitar player Joe Bonamassa steps up to the microphone to handle the vocals for acoustic guitar driven Battle For Hadrian’s Wall and An Ordinary Son. Keyboard player Derek Sherinian is more prominent in the mix and Jason Bonham is a hard-hitting drummer who can lay down rock solid beats and enhance the drive of a song by leaping over the bar with gusto.
