Black Country Communion V Album Review

In 2009, a very good band called Black Country Communion was formed.

It features Glenn Hughes (Vocals/Bass), Joe Bonamassa (Guitar/Vocals), Jason Bonham (Drums) and Derek Sherinian (Keyboards).

They have released five studio albums, and a live album/Blu-ray.

Their latest album, V, was released on June 14 of 2024.

If you are a fan of classic 1970s hard rock, this album and all their albums are for you.

Glenn Hughes, to me, is one of the greatest singers of all time, and has NEVER lost a step, vocally.  He is also a very good bassist too but oh my gosh his singing is out of this world.

Joe Bonamassa is a superstar on his own, having released several solo albums, but in this band, he is mostly the guitarist and if you know his work, you know his playing here is fantastic too.

Jason Bonham is a PHENOMENAL drummer.  Son of Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham, Jason has made a solid career himself, playing in Bonham, Foreigner, UFO, The Circle, even Led Zeppelin in most of their one off reunion shows, and to me, he’s as good or better than his Dad on the kit.  Truth.

Derek Sherinian has played keyboards for KISS, Dream Theater, Billy Idol, and Sons Of Apollo, and has solos albums also.  He brings a lot to the table as a player.

Because of everyone’s schedules, they have not done very many concerts, but hopefully someday, that will change.

Again, this band is very much a classic sounding 1970s hard rock band, but also sounds new and fresh.

Seek out this album V as well as their other albums (self titled, Black Country Communion 2, Live Over Europe, Afterglow, and BBCIV.

All solid.
