Black Country Communion’s self-titled debut album was released in Sept. 2010 to rave reviews. The album stormed the #1 position on the Official UK Top 40
Rock Album Chart; #13 in the Top 40 Album Chart and #2 in the Top 40 Indie Album Chart. It made #3 in Classic Rock’s “Critics Album of the Year” poll,
while Planet Rock listeners crowned them Best New Band of 2010.

Recent live shows in the UK in December 2010 had the Birmingham Mail calling their performance “rip-roaring” and “breathtaking.” Classic Rock reported “a scorching set from start to finish.”

Fans can quench their thirst with a free download from BCC guitarist Joe Bonamassa’s new critically acclaimed album “Dust Bowl”. The album, Bonamassa’s twelfth, entered the UK Album Charts this week at #12 and #10 in Germany, making this his best chart debut yet.
