Once
in a great rock n roll moon a band comes along that defies the law of modern
type cast musical endeavors. Brotherhood, upbringing, common goals, style,
and perseverance, coupled with the love and respect of each members personal
and public life, and just being a collective bunch of bad asses, creates
an art form that sinks into every soul it touches, and paints a picture
of thumb print originality to last forever.
From it's
inception Black Stone Cherry chose to write its own musical direction.
By using a melting pot of early English rock, Southern rock and Blues,
American Hard rock, Country Blues and dashes of Hip Hop and Heavy Metal,
Black Stone Cherry came out of the shoot glued together by skull crushing,
heart stopping, run for your life riff rock, with lyrics that tell the
truth, and sometimes stretch it beyond the imagination.
School
mates and life long friends, Chris Robertson (guitar and vocals), Ben
Wells (guitar and vocals), Jon Lawhon (bass and vocals), and John Fred
Young (drums and vocals), have created a sound and a vibe that is contagious
to M.T.V.'s Club La Vela followers and rootsy enough for the Fillmore
East and West die hards of yester year.
With the
release of their debut CD "Rock N' Roll Tape", coupled with the bands
exposure to the professional entertainment scene since childhood, Black
Stone Cherry is a musical must.
