Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * * *
When the past has been so good, it is always a shame that the future might be considered blank, a void, the page that will remain unwritten and with the ink kept inside its pen, nothing great lasts forever, yet in the hands of the four giants that make up Black Country Communion, it can at least be seen to add a smile to the lips of musical eternity.

Black Country Communion, a supergroup so good they had to give the four members a third album just to satisfy the incredible clamour and deluge from their overwhelming number of fans.
The group certainly need no introduction, the music really does speak for itself, self assured, distinctive, mind blowing and with so much depth it practically carves out a 10 foot deep trench with ease; this is what makes Black Country Communion one of the best bands of the last two decades, and they seem to have managed this in less than three years.

It’s not many bands that can bring out two exceptional albums within the space a few short months, however Black Country Communion are not just any band.
Made up of one of the great guitarists of British Rock in the shape of Glenn Hughes, the much lauded and technically superb Joe Bonamassa, the son of the one of the legends of Rock, Jason Bonham and the appointed, by none other than Alice Cooper, Caligula of keyboards Derek Sherinian, Black Country Communion start album 2 the way they left off on the first offering, heavy, loaded with stand out tracks and just enough humility that will endear them forever to the public who buy the album.
