Redefining Southern influenced, roots-Rock with an edge for a modern audience, Black Stone Cherry have sold upwards of 110,000 copies of their 2006 self-titled debut and have shared the stage with Buckcherry, Hinder, Staind, Three Days Grace, Finger 11, Shinedown and more. With a soulful driving attack, few bands this young sound this powerful or versatile. The bands sophomore effort for Roadrunner Records, Folklore and Superstition was produced by famed Rock producer Bob Marlette (Ozzy, Shinedown) and recorded in Nashville's infamous Blackbird Studios, that has housed everyone from Kid Rock to the Raconteurs. From the eerie swagger of "Devil's Queen" to the tell tale rocker "Blind Man" to the triumphant stomp of the anthem "Soul Creek," Black Stone Cherry say the trick to Folklore and Superstition is simply brotherhood, family, friends and home no more, no less.
Reviews:
You don't have to be called Hinder to make a name for yourself in radio rawk these days. Thanks to the renaissance of '90s stalwarts like Stone Temple Pilots and Filter, as well as the advent of anything-goes festivals like Rocklahoma and Rock on the Range, new names like Black Stone Cherry are getting their day in the sun. The Kentucky quartet has a bona fide anthem on their hands in the hook-rife "Blind Man."
