HCTF review of "2".
Few hard rock records have made such a lasting impact as the Machine Head, the 1972 album by Deep Purple. Odd to think that band choose Never Before as the first single back then. Apparently they didn't realise the power of Highway Star and Smoke On The Water. Classic Rock has assembled a roster of notable acts for the tribute CD Re-Machined. Release date: September 24th.
The fanpack also comes with an in-depth, official, band-endorsed 124-page magazine which includes exclusive new interviews with world-class guitarists Joe Bonamassa and Steve Vai and the members of Metallica, Iron Maiden and Chickenfoot amongst others talking about recording these classic songs, plus brand new interviews with Deep Purple – one of the last interviews with the late Jon Lord – on the making of their most well-loved album and exclusive and previously unpublished photographs and artefacts from the Purple archives.Tracks:

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:
Singer and bass player Glenn Hughes shares the bill with Fish on a three-night run in the UK in May.
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".
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.
Singer and bass player Glenn Hughes will be spinning discs and tell tall tales during his new weekly radio show on Planet Rock from Sunday June 5th at 6pm GMT.
Black Country Communion offer a free track from their new album "2". Outsider is a fast paced heavy rock number.
Drummer Jason Bonham brought a discarded Led Zeppelin track to the sessions. He worked on Save Me with Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones, The song should have seen the light after the 2007 reunion show at the O2 Arena in London, but Robert Plant showed no interest in collaborating. BCC bass player/vocalist Glenn Hughes completed the arrangement and wrote the lyrics.
The album will be released in the UK and Europe on June 13th via Mascot Records, and June 14th in the U.S. on the J&R Adventures label. The limited edition digipack is available for pre-order now, and includes hand-written liner notes from each member of the band, plus exclusive photographs.
