made the announcement on his website: “So
there it is folks - the cat is out the bag! This is
Black Country. The songs are all original and
what a lineup. They are all the very best players in the world, for my money!”
Shirley added, “Jason Bonham is a totally
unique drummer and a supreme, yet oh-so-tasty powerhouse. Derek Sherinian is super
versatile, and is playing mostly overdriven
Hammond organ in this ensemble and is the
color on the palette. Glenn Hughes plays bass
and sings with a range very, very few can even
get close to, and Joe Bonamassa, perhaps the
best Blues Rock guitarist around, plays hard
riffing guitar as well as adding his signature
vocals alongside Glenn. You’ll just have to
wait—we’re planning to get this out late summer, and it’s promising to be phenomenal!”
Bonamassa’s new solo album, Black Rock,
will be arriving March 23, 2010. Produced
by Shirley, who has produced Bonamassa’s
last six solo albums, it will be released on
Bonamassa’s own J&R Adventures label.
