Black Country Communion

Does anyone know much about them?

Glenn Hughes I remember from mk3 purple and didn't like his shrieking.

Bonham I know about.

Don't know much about bonamassa except I was surprised how young he was

So this thread isn't about Wolverhampton hippies then?

One of a number of Classic Rock super-groups out there. So far released 3 cracking albums.

Joe Bonamassa is worth looking into in his own right, first came to prominence in another super-group 'Bloodline', released his 1st solo album in 2000 & last years 'Driving Towards The Daylight' was his 10th solo album, which crashed into the album charts at No: 2 (some shit kept him off the top spot) with little or no air play, rarely done these days!! He has also released 5 live albums, so is very productive

He received his first guitar from his father at the age of 4, and by age 7 he was playing Stevie Ray Vaughan and Jimi Hendrix tunes note for note. At the age of 11, during a short period of being mentored by Danny Gatton, he learned such styles as country and jazz as well as polka. During this time with Gatton, Bonamassa sat in with Gatton's band whenever they played in New York.

He first opened for B. B. King at 12 years of age. At 14, he was invited to attend a Fender guitar event; during that trip to the West Coast he met Berry Oakley, Jr., with whom he founded the group Bloodline, along with Miles Davis' son Erin and Robby Krieger's son Waylon. They released one album which produced two chart singles — "Stone Cold Hearted", and "Dixie Peach."

He has since played with Buddy Guy, Foreigner, Robert Cray, Stephen Stills, Joe Cocker, Gregg Allman, Steve Winwood, Paul Jones, Steve Lukather, Ted Nugent, Warren Haynes, Derek Trucks, Eric Johnson, and Jack Bruce.

Bonamassa has also collaborated with a number of people including B.B. King, Eric Clapton, Paul Rodgers, (The Late) Jon Lord, Sandi Thom, and Glen Hughes, (who of course he went on to form Black Country Communion with), and Beth Hart, releasing a stonking album with Beth Hart, and they are currently working on a follow up, now there is a lady with a cracking voice, and currently touring the UK 'Beth Hart' along with Bonamassa real stars!!

I'm listening to their album Afterglow now. Very Led Zeppelin and I like it.

Obviously the guitar solos are pretty cool so I'm going to listen to their live album later as well but I'll have to put on my earphones as Kaz's father's here and my little 'un's just gone to bed

If they are your cup of tea you're probably into The Music as well. Very underrated band and the lead singer is almost as good at dancing as me

And this one

This is a good watch. Featuring a very young David Coverdale and Hughes, I'm not really sure what Hughes vocals add, especially his coke aided cod-gospel on SOTW.
