Following the news that their third album 'Afterglow' - released in the UK on Monday 29th October - supergroup Black Country Communion, the Anglo-American rock band comprising Glenn Hughes (vocals, bass), Joe Bonamassa (guitar, vocals), Jason Bonham (drums) and Derek Sherinian (keyboards), have announced their only concert of 2013 at the Wolverhampton Civic Hall on Saturday 5th January 2013. The concert is significant, as it is based in the heart of the Black Country, where both Glenn Hughes and Jason Bonham grew up as kids.
 To celebrate the news of this rare, one-off concert, UK classic rock radio station, Planet Rock, will launch an exclusive 48-hour ticket pre-sale from Wednesday 19th September. Black Country Communion Tickets will then go on sale to the general public at 9am on Friday 21st September.
When fans visit www.planetrock.com from Wednesday 19th September, they’ll also be eligible to receive a free download of the new BCC track 'Confessor'.
This unique concert marks Black Country Communion’s only UK appearance in 2013. Given BCC’s geographical and spiritual ties to the area, when discussions arose about where in the world the band would perform this one-off show, there was only ever going to be one outcome. Black Country Communion is very excited to come home for this ultra rare live performance.
In terms of content, ‘Afterglow’ expands upon the progression that took place between ‘BCC’ and ‘BCC2’. Rich in hooks, melodies and choruses, it’s nonetheless another of those highly rewarding albums that bears additional fruit with repeated spins.
“I wanted this album to have more acoustic moments than the previous two,” explains Hughes. “I wanted to hear more of Derek [Sherinian] and I wanted the more angelic voice of Glenn as well as the more aggressive one which is there on songs like ‘Crawl’ and ‘Midnight Sun’. Above all, I wanted more drama.”
'Afterglow' tracklisting is as follows:
Big Train
This Is Your Time
Midnight Sun
Midnight Run
Confessor
Cry Freedom
Afterglow
Dandelion
The Circle
Common Man
The Giver
Crawl
