By Michael Rampa
Legendary producer Kevin "Caveman" Shirley put the rock guts back into Rush in the 1980s when they started to get too keyboard and synth oriented. Guitarist Alex Lifeson was asked to ditch the reverb and Neal Peart the electric drums. The problem being addressed was strikingly clear and indicative of the Eighties. "The songs had no "balls," Shirley said. "They were thin so I was hell bent on making a heavy record." No such issue befalls his Black Country Communion project. The Anglo/American hybrid is unfairly stacked with talent even by supergroup standards. With Zeppelin, Sabbath and Deep Purple in its bloodline, their latest release "Afterglow" (out Oct. 30) is all balls; blunt force blues/rock trauma from both sides of the ocean. Fellow Brits Jason Bonham and Glenn Hughes combine forces with guitar legend in the making Joe Bonamassa and Dream Theater's Derek Sherinian for a hard rocking experience rarely seen since its golden age in the early Seventies.Like its predecessors, the 11 track compilation starts out with a bang and then keeps exploding for another 53 minutes as Bonham channels his inner Zeppelin alongside Hughes' massive vocals and Bonamassa's scorching Les Paul.It's difficult to label BCC. Part English, part American, blistering rock and hardcore blues. It doesn't really matter how they are categorized. If you're looking for a classic hard rock experience, there is no need to sort through your vinyl collection.
8 of 8 people found the following review helpful.This band IS Rock & Roll!
By The Hermit
In a popular music world of Lady Gaga's and other musical crud, these guys continue to keep REAL Rock & Roll alive, and for that we are grateful! This cd rocks in every sense, from the first song "Big Train", to the last "Crawl", each song has more contrast than even ther previous 2 statements. Congrats to Kevin, Glenn, Joe, Jason and Derek for another outstanding release, and please, please guys- continue to create rock music in a seemingly dying musical genre. This cd isn't leaving my car player for a long while!(Shame on the reviewer / punter with 1 star, indeed!)

By Bela
I've been listening to Glenn Hughes since Trapeze. I loved when he was in Deep Purple.Burn is one of the best hard rock albums of all time! I think he has one of the bestvoices in rock history. His songwriting is so diverse between hard rock funk bluesthat nobody can touch him. His music history should be as big as anybody in rock n roll.It's ashame more people don't know him. Joe Bonamassa really is extrodinary as usual.I hear so many Gary Moore influences in his style and playing but maybe that's just me.Bonham and Sherdian are awesome as well and the band gels so well together. The factthey recorded this live and in a few days is amazing. It would be ashame if BCC doesn'trecord another album as rumors are they have broken up as Hughes and Bonamassa seem tobe having a war that Bonamassa is spending too much time on solo career which I agree.How many people get to be in this situation? he could do both but BCC should be hisfirst priority or just do the solo thing. BCC should be touring and promoting album.Music this good shouldn't go to waste! come on Bonamassa your the luckest guy on the planet!
