Black Stone Cherry are to rock and roll what Coke is to fizzy drinks. You know what you are going to get, but it doesn’t stop it being damn tasty. They have an incredible ability to reel out southern rock tracks that make you want to drink a beer and have a good time and Kentucky keeps that rolling.
Rock and Roll
Every couple of years some twat who has never actually seen a guitar writes an article claiming that ‘guitar music is dead’, as if it is some great scoop and actually true. Which of course it isn’t, yes bands with guitars more often than not fail to top the charts, which is instead full of soulless crap (in the majority anyway), but any slight scratch below the surface shows that music with guitars is far from dead. However, is it still cool? I mean of course it’s cool, but is it really cool? There was a time when rockstars were the coolest fuckers on the planet and had an amazing ability to do more drugs, drink more booze and fraternise with more young women than anyone else. Is that era dead? Are the current wave of rock bands lacking that little bit of va va voom?
