Black Country Communion, the Anglo-American rock group comprising vocalist/bassist Glenn Hughes, drummer Jason Bonham, keyboardist Derek Sherinian and blues-rock guitarist/vocalist Joe Bonamassa, have with their newly released album, “Afterglow“, debuted at No. 48 on The Billboard 200 chart in the United States.
It sold 8,500 copies in the USA during its first week of release, compared with their album from last year, “2“, which opened with 8,000 units to land at No. 71 and their debut album, “Black Country“, released in 2010, that saw a first-week tally of 7,100 copies to enter the chart at No. 54.
Just like its two predecessors, “Afterglow” was overseen by Kevin Shirley, whose catalog of hit records for LED ZEPPELIN, IRON MAIDEN, AEROSMITH, JOURNEY, THE BLACK CROWES and many more has made him one of the hottest producers that rock music has to offer. Shirley – who had the idea of putting Hughes and Bonamassa together in a band together after seeing them jamming onstage in Los Angeles back in November 2009 – is the group’s unofficial “fifth member.”
Black Country Communion hope to tour “Afterglow” at the start of 2013.
Due to unforeseen circumstances, Black Country Communion have cancelled their show originally scheduled to take place in Wolverhampton, UK on January 5th, 2013.
Black Country Communion will play their first UK show since the Summer of 2011 at the Wolverhampton Civic Hall – deep in the spiritual homeland of the band, on Saturday, January 5th, 2013.
UK based radio station, Planet Rock, has an EXCLUSIVE 48 hour presale on tickets for the show, starting on Wednesday September 19th at 9:00AM (UK time). Thereafter, public ticket availability begins on Friday, September 21st.
