Black Country Communion

Black Country Communion is the debut studio album by English–American hard rock band Black Country Communion. Recorded between January and April 2010, primarily at Shangri-La in Malibu, California, it was produced by Kevin Shirley and released in Europe by Mascot Records on September 20, 2010, and in North America by J&R Adventures the following day. The album reached number 13 on the UK Albums Chart and number 54 on the US Billboard 200.

Bassist Glenn Hughes and guitarist Joe Bonamassa formed Black Country Communion in November 2009, with Shirley suggesting the addition of drummer Jason Bonham and keyboardist Derek Sherinian. Much of the material for the band's debut album was written by Hughes and Bonamassa, who shared lead vocal duties on several songs. After recording of the base tracks, overdubs were tracked at Shirley's studio The Cave, as well as Germano Studios in New York City.

Black Country Communion received positive reviews from the majority of critics, who praised its effective revival of the 1970s classic rock sound of bands such as Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin, as well as the performances of the supergroup's individual members. The album topped the UK Rock & Metal Albums Chart, as well as reaching the top 20 of the Billboard Top Rock Albums and Hard Rock Albums charts. One music video was released, for the track "The Great Divide".
