Black Country Communion Unveils Cover of Debut Album to be Released 9/20

Black Country Communion, the new rock supergroup featuring former Deep Purple/Black Sabbath's Glenn Hughes(vocals, bass), Led Zeppelin's Jason Bonham (drums), guitar player Joe Bonamassa (guitar, vocals), and Dream Theater's Derek Sherinian (keyboards), unveiled the artwork for the debut album.

Released by Mascot Records in the UK and Europe on Monday September 20th, followed by a North American release via J&R Adventures on September 21st, the hotly tipped debut album is produced and mixed by Kevin Shirley (Black Crowes, Aerosmith, Led Zeppelin).

All songs are sung by Glenn Hughes, with the exception of "Song Of Yesterday" and "The Revolution In Me" which are both sung by Joe Bonamassa. Hughes and Bonamassa share lead vocals on the songs "Sista Jane" and "Too Late For The Sun." Also included on the album is a new version of "Medusa," the classic rock song that Hughes originally recorded with his first band Trapeze.

Black Country Communion is the brainchild of producer Kevin Shirley. The album is mastered by the legendary Bob Ludwig. Black Country Communion initially came to fruition when Kevin Shirley saw Glenn Hughes and Joe Bonamassa join forces on stage in Los Angeles in November 2009 for an explosive performance at Guitar Center's King of the Blues event.

Shirley recruited powerhouse drummer Jason Bonham (Led Zeppelin, Foreigner) and keyboardist Derek Sherinian (Dream Theatre, Billy Idol, Alice Cooper).

The band, named after the industrial area in the British Midlands where both Hughes and Bonham were born and raised, recorded the debut album at Shangri-La Studios in early 2010, and are planning a tour in 2011. More information can be found at www.bccommunion.com.
