Black Country Communion

The Profile

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).
