Black Country Communion

Musical Group

English-American hard rock supergroup formed in 2009 featuring Glenn Hughes, Joe Bonamassa, Jason Bonham and Derek Sherinian.

Their early albums (including the debut and Afterglow) were produced by Kevin Shirley. Reviews and coverage frequently note strong sonic references to Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple. The band split after their 2012 release and later reunited (releasing BCCIV in 2017).

Two DeBaser reviews (both rated 3/5) praise the musicianship—especially Jason Bonham and Glenn Hughes—while critiquing lack of originality and occasional sterility in production. The pieces reference strong Zeppelin/Deep Purple influences and note Kevin Shirley as producer. Albums covered include Black Country Communion (2010) and Afterglow (2012).

For:Fans of hard rock, blues-rock and classic-rock supergroups; listeners who value musicianship even when originality is debated.

 Now this Black Country Communion comes to life, a supergroup featuring Joe Bonamassa, a global rock blues star at the international level, Derek Sherinian, Dream Theater's keyboardist, Hughes himself on bass and vocals, and Jason Bonham on drums.

 It turns out that when listening to these Black Country Communion, the musician who conveys the most interest and admiration to me is by far the drummer Jason Bonham: he's perfect!
