Kentucky rockers BLACK STONE CHERRY will release their fifth studio album, “Kentucky”, on April 1, 2016 via Mascot Label Group. The band recorded the effort at Barrick Recording in Glasgow, Kentucky. Taking a “back-to-the-roots” approach, the CD was produced in the same way and same place as BLACK STONE CHERRY‘s eponymous debut album, which broke the band out of the small southern backwater and onto the world stage.
The first single from “Kentucky”, a song called “The Way Of The Future”, can be streamed below. Also available is the “Kentucky” artwork.
“Kentucky” track listing:
01. The Way Of The Future
02. In Our Dreams
03. Shakin’ My Cage
04. Soul Machine
05. Long Ride
06. War
07. Hangman
08. Cheaper To Drink Alone
09. Rescue Me
10. Feelin’ Fuzzy
11. Darkest Secret
12. Born To Die
13. The Rambler
BLACK STONE CHERRY guitarist Ben Wells recently told Metal Hammer magazine about the band’s forthcoming CD: “This is the first time we get to self-produce. And most of the songs, with the exception of maybe two or three out of fifteen, are all written by us, the four of us. Which all of our songs always are — we might co-write with somebody — but this time, the majority of the songs are all written by us. So it feels really good to kind of have that creative freedom. Even though we’re still learning things as we get along, we’ve kind of picked up over the years touring internationally what our fans have come to expect and what we expect from ourselves and what we know people are gonna enjoy from us. So it’s definitely… it’s raw, it’s heavy. We’re going back to our hometown to record it, where we did our debut album. So we’re kind of revisiting some of that old mojo that we had, and I think our fans have been wanting that from us for a long time now. So we want, and I know they want it, and we’re just excited about it. I mean, the songs… These are probably some of the coolest songs we’ve written as far as the music and the melodies.”
