Black Stone Cherry

Kentucky rockers Black Stone Cherry employ a fiery yet rootsy mix of hard rock and post-grunge/heavy metal that invokes names like Stone Sour, Theory of a Deadman, Buckcherry, and Shinedown. Woolly, dirty, and uncompromising, the band’s self-released Rock N’ Roll Tape in 2003 netted the attention of Roadrunner, which signed them after witnessing audience reactions to their endless touring. Their self-titled debut for the label appeared in 2006 to rave reviews from the rock press. 2011’s Between the Devil & the Deep Blue Sea, produced by Howard Benson, was celebrated for its gritty attack on tunes such as “White Trash Millionaire” and “Killing Floor,” plus the swaggering honky tonk blues of “Let Me See You Shake.” After leaving Roadrunner for Mascot in 2016, they issued the back-to-basics crunch & roll of Kentucky. For 2018’s Family Tree, they recorded at the same studio as their self-titled debut back in 2006.
