Black Stone Cherry, the Kentucky-based hard rock band, unleashes their third studio album, "Between the Devil & the Deep Blue Sea," on January 1, 2011, under Roadrunner Records. This 51-minute journey through Southern rock, post-grunge, and hard rock is a testament to the band's evolving sound and songwriting prowess.
The album kicks off with the raucous "White Trash Millionaire," setting the tone for the raw, gritty tracks that follow. Fans of hard-hitting riffs and powerful vocals will find plenty to love in songs like "Killing Floor" and "Can't You See." Meanwhile, tracks like "In My Blood" and "Stay" showcase the band's ability to craft catchy, melodic hooks that linger long after the music fades.
Black Stone Cherry doesn't shy away from introspective moments, either. "Staring at the Mirror" and "Fade Away" offer a glimpse into the band's more contemplative side, with lyrics that delve into personal reflection and introspection. The album closes with the haunting "Die for You," a powerful ballad that serves as a fitting finale to this dynamic collection of songs.
Throughout "Between the Devil & the Deep Blue Sea," Black Stone Cherry demonstrates why they are one of the most exciting acts in modern rock. With its blend of Southern rock swagger, post-grunge intensity, and hard rock edge, this album is a must-listen for fans of the genre and a strong showcase of the band's continued growth and artistry.
