Black Stone Cherry have announced they will play a trio of Download festival warm-up shows this June.
Kentucky's Black Stone Cherry, comprised of vocalist Chris Robertson, guitarist Ben Wells, bassist Jon Lawhon and drummer John Fred Young, is a band adept at creating both timeless rock 'n' roll and new, innovative sounds. While the band's last record, 'Folklore And Superstition', was a compelling tribute to brotherhood and history, the new upcoming album is the summation of a year in the life of the band — every emotion, triumph, loss, romance and everything in between — it's all there on 'Between The Devil And The Deep Blue Sea'.
This is the first time Black Stone Cherry has not recorded in the South, this time taking up residence in Los Angeles to work with famed producer Howard Benson (Theory Of A Deadman, Daughtry, Three Days Grace). The new surroundings allowed them to strengthen their relationships as both band members and friends, ultimately a detail that sets 'Between The Devil And The Deep Blue Sea' above previous recordings. The raw intensity that pervades the music on this album harkens back to the early days of Black Stone Cherry, when they were a bunch of blue-collar guys just making music together for the hell of it. The band admits, "When we first began writing music, we hadn't travelled very far out of our home state of Kentucky. Now, ten years later, we've travelled the world and experienced things we never imagined we would."
Black Stone Cherry premièred their new single 'White Trash Millionaire' on Digital Radio's 'Planet Rock' last Friday (March 18th). The track is the first single to be taken from Black Stone Cherry's upcoming third studio album 'Between The Devil & The Deep Blue Sea' which his set for release on May 30th.
