Aus Edmonton im US-Bundesstaat Kentucky erreicht die weltweite Hardrock-Gemeinde eines der inspiriertesten und mitreißendsten Alben der letzten Jahre. Folklore And Superstition lässt selbst ganz große Megaseller verdammt blass aussehen.

Bereits die Reife und Souveränität, die jeden der 13 Songs auszeichnen, lassen aufhorchen. Dass die Mitglieder von Black Stone Cherry allesamt noch recht grün hinter den Ohren sind und mit Folklore And Superstition gerade mal ihr zweites Album zur Diskussion stellen, hört man der CD zu keinem Zeitpunkt an. Hier rocken sich vier bestens aufeinander eingespielte Freunde in Ekstase, verknüpfen unwiderstehliche Hitmelodien mit knarzigem, von Producer Bob Marlette herrlich naturbelassenem Rock´n´Roll-Flair, punkten mit einem erdigen Gitarrensound und überzeugen als Weltklasse-Arrangeure, die mit ihren Songs den perfekten Spagat zwischen Stadion-Tauglichkeit und Pub-Verschwitztheit schaffen. "Blind Man", "Please Come In" oder "Soulcreek" sind formvollendete, mit leichter Southern-Rock-Schlagseite aus den Boxen donnernde Hardrock-Hymnen, die selbst die letzten Nickelback-Ohrwürmer locker in den Schatten stellen. Ein grandioses Album!

Product 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.
