Black Stone Cherry - Screamin' At The Sky (1LP Clear Vinyl)

Proud Kentucky rockers, Black Stone Cherry, emerge from a challenging few years triumphantly with a behemoth of an album, Screamin' At The Sky. The four-piece band's eighth album explodes with urgently-emotive pop-rock hooks; heartfelt, redemptive lyrics; headbanging riffs; powerful dynamics; thunderous drums; and its most thrilling musicianship yet. The 12-song collection is also BSC's biggest and best sounding album. The self-produced studio record was tracked at a classic Kentucky theater, and it sounds like the guys are smashing down the hammer of the gods. In the past two decades, Black Stone Cherry has set a new standard for Southern rock, revitalizing the tradition with its burly riffs and stirring rock hooks.

Since its formation in 2001, the four-piece brotherhood has remained Chris Robertson, vocals/guitar; Ben Wells, guitar/vocals; and John Fred Young, drums.

Today, the band welcomes its dear friend Steve Jewell Jr. on bass/backing vocals. Screamin' At The Sky has been a catharsis for Black Stone Cherry, and the quartet is savoring the calm after the storm.
