Album Description While there are echoes of the past in their music - their fluid musicality recalls Zeppelin and they have an honesty often associated with bands like Skynyrd and the Black Crowes - it merely acts as a foundation for their music. Black Stone Cherry is a full-throttle modern rock band, with guitars that rage and a shuddering rhythmic attack. They sound as earthy and raw as Soundgarden, as heavy and fun as AC/DC, yet there's a higher level of musicianship to their performances and song writing that makes them like no one else. Building on their phenomenal debut self-titled album, which consequently saw the band pick up "Best New Band" at the Classic Rock awards, the band have matured and delivered a second album that is destined to elevate them to the level they so rightly deserve. The first single from the album "Blind Man" manages to capture the essence of the bands stunning live performance, a live performance that managed to get them upgraded to the Astoria on their first UK headline tour. This gritty, raw, high energy track is beautifully married with an anthemic fist throwing chorus that'll have the most reserved people on the tables. "Blind Man" will be the first of at least 3 singles which intended to cross the band over to a younger audience, whilst maintaining their strong "Classic Rock" following. In support of the album the band are playing a slue of high profile shows including; Download, Isle Of White festival and special guests to Whitesnake & Def Leppard on their arena tour.

CD ReviewsImpressive second album from one of the best new rock bands Justin Gaines | Northern Virginia | 08/19/2008 (4 out of 5 stars) "Of all of this year's hard rock and heavy metal releases, I've probably been looking forward to Folklore & Superstition, the sophomore album from Black Stone Cherry, the most. The Kentucky-based band took me completely by surprise with their 2006 self-titled debut, which sounded like the illegitimate offspring of Black Sabbath and Lynyrd Skynyrd (or maybe Black Label Society and a case of bourbon), and since then I've been dying to hear whether that album was a fluke, or whether Black Stone Cherry was the real deal. I shouldn't have worried. Much like the song Rain Wizard off the debut, album opener Blind Man starts things off with a bang, reminding you at once of everything you love about this band. Please Come In and Reverend Wrinkle continue in the same vein, with that perfect combination of doomy Soundgarden riffs and Skynyrd's southern integrity. Soulcreek is just a great, Southern fried, beer raising anthem. The album stumbles a bit with the ballad Things My Father Said, which, despite its obvious emotional content, sounds like a Creed b-side. Fortunately the high octane rocker The Bitter End puts the album right back on track. The rest of the album is in the same vein as the first half, with hard rocking songs (Long Sleeves, Devil's Queen, The Key, and the thundering closer Ghost of Floyd Collins) balanced by anthem-like tracks (the sing-along Peace is Free) and slower, heartfelt numbers like You. Folklore & Superstition is a fantastic hard rock album from a band that deserves a LOT more attention. It's the kind of real rock & roll album that you can totally sink your teeth into, and it's authentic in a way most bands only wish they could accomplish. If you missed this great rock & roll band the first time around, this is your chance to see what you've been missing. " Back With Another Solid Effort! Andrew L. Petty | woodstock, ga | 08/20/2008 (5 out of 5 stars) "BSC are a great band! They got the sound. They got the skills. And better yet, they got the FEEL! Their first album was solid. This one picks up where that one left off! All around great album!
I have mucho respect for this band as they are one of VERY few newer bands that can still carry the torch for real rock music. This is not over produced trash. They all can play their instruments and they play them very well, and they play them with FEELING......something most bands these days lack. Check it out!!!" |
