The first time I heard the American band Black Stone Cherry was in 2006. I had bought their first album aptly titled Black Stone Cherry. For some reason or other the band slipped under my radar until recently when I heard a couple of their tunes from their latest album the Human Condition. These songs had me digging into their past albums and that BSC record trip was a real ear opener for me and had me thinking how much good music I had been avoiding.
The development of the band during the years shows a certain commercialization which has done them a lot of good. Their songs have become much more listenable even though they are still on the heavy side of the musical spectrum. And that’s really what I like about the band. They play hard rock which rock and roll so to speak but at the same time they often have a chorus that you can sing along to. You get the full package. And as proof of their song writing skills the band has had 8 singles on the American rock charts. That’s pretty good, I think.
Black Stone Cherry originates from Kentucky, USA and was formed i 2001. BSC consists of as I am writing this of John Fred Young (son of Richard Young from the Kentucky Headhunters), Chris Robertson, Ben Wells and Steve Jewell.
As I mentioned earlier I especially like Black Stone Cherry because they play a kind of heavy rock that has a commercial twist to it. Just try and give their number Won’t Let Go a listen. I think you need to bring out your Zippo. So, if you like hard rock which you can sing along to and at the same time has your adrenalin running, I think you should give Black Stone Cherry a chance. But turn up the volume.
I have as usual thrown in a couple of videos as appetizers. Hope you like Black Stone Cherry.
If you like my post or perhaps not I would love if you would send me your comments.
