2017 release. Black Country Communion are the rock super group comprised of vocalist/bassist Glenn Hughes (Deep Purple, Trapeze), drummer Jason Bonham (Led Zeppelin, Foreigner), Derek Sherinian (Dream Theater, Alice Cooper, Billy Idol) and blues-rock guitarist/vocalist Joe Bonamassa. This is their long awaited and highly anticipated fourth album, BCCIV. Black Country Communion formed in 2009. The group released it's self-titled debut album in September 2010. Second album Black Country Communion 2 followed in June 2011. The band released it's third album Afterglow in October 2012. In March 2013, after months of public tensions, Bonamassa announced that he was no longer a member of Black Country Communion, with the question over whether the group would continue with another guitarist unclear. Days later, Hughes confirmed that the band was officially over, hinting that he would continue working with Bonham and Sherinian under a new collective name. Hughes and Bonamassa later reconciled and the band reunited in 2016.
