BLACK COUNTRY COMMUNION – 2 (Release: June 13, 2011)

Here we go with the second effort by this super-band in 9 months. This is a short period so some might think that this album could be a little loose but nothing further from reality. This album keeps all the energy of the previous one with a solid production by Kevin Shirley. First single to be release is “The Outsider” a raw Hard Rock track with an astonishing showdown between Bonamassa and Sherinian while Hughes is at his best rockin’ like an animal. “Man In Th Middle” is a darker song with a heavy guitar riff while “The Battle For Hadrian’s Wall” with a zeppelinesque vibe is a highlight in the album. “Save Me” is another cut with Zeppelin’s flavor and some arab touches all this combined with a beautiful chorus that make this an interesting song.
Another cut that shines specially is “Crossfire” a more melodic track that still keeps the strengh of all the album.
Special mention the lenght of the songs, only three cuts below 5 minutes.
In summary, an album that reminds of Led Zeppelin with pure Hard Rock from the begining to the end and with four true musicians at their best.
