Hailing from Edmonton, a small town in south-central Kentucky USA, the
Alternative-Rock four-man band Black Stone Cherry was formed in mid-2001
when singer + guitarist Chris Robertson and drummer John Fred Young began
playing together while they were still teenagers in high school, with
guitarist Ben Wells and bassist John Lawton joining them soon afterward.
In July 2006 the quartet issued their debut self-titled CD on Roadrunner
Records; the album's release was prefaced by the smash single "Lonely
Train" which peaked at #14 on The Hot Mainstream Rock chart and was
followed by two more album-Rock radio top 40 hits: "Hell And High
Water" and "Rain Wizard". "Black Stone Cherry"
ended up at #90 on The Billboard 200 chart while the band supported this
album on the road opening for such heavy-Rock titans as Black
Label Society, Whitesnake and Def
Leppard.
The Kentucky quartet delivered a second album, "Folklore And Superstition",
in August 2008 that was destined to elevate them to the level they so
rightly deserved; it quickly bulleted into the top 40 of The Billboard
200. The first single from the album, "Blind Man", manages to
capture the essence of the band's stunning live performance.
