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.

- Take another shot at the lyrics
I loved the first album. This one not so much. I'd like it better if not for the terrible lyrics. Give a 8 year old a crayon and tell them to write about their feelings, that's about as deep as these songs get.
"It takes a village to raise a child. It takes an army to march a mile. It takes true love to stand the test of time. And it takes you babe to make me smile." ... right. Thanks for the insight.

- good but not as good
i love black stone cherry, i got their first album and to this day there is 3 songs i don't enjoy everytime they come on. their first album was much more groovy and enjoyable. this new album, while i don't dislike it. sounds like nickleback or creed. not black stone cherry. the first album was way better but i would say for fans of bsc you'll enjoy some of these and they're worth the buy but it is a little disapointing.
