Top 30 Albums of the Decade 2000-2009: Number 3


Number 3

Black Stone Cherry
"Folklore and Superstition"

Released: August 18th 2008
Key Tracks: "Blind Man" / "Peace Is Free" / "Devil's Queen"

Black Stone Cherry's second album carried on where they left off with their self titled debut, and improved on their sound even further. Their southern tinged hard rock sound expanded, included some soft, poignant ballads and long, drawn out jams, which moulded perfectly together to create the highly accomplished finished article.

Chris Robertson's gravelly vocals boom over his and Ben Wells' sublime guitar work, with John Fred Young and Jon Lawhon's tight as tight can be rhythm section. The songs are fantastic, the musicianship shown is second to none,a nd the whole thing just sits brilliantly.

The deluxe edition of the album adds an entire disc to the mix, but it's the original album that really stands out. "Folklore and Superstition" is an album that everyone should hear.
