Black Stone Cherry Releases ‘Black To Blues Volume 2’ EP

Black Stone Cherry return with another riotous, rip roaring tribute to their blues heroes on ‘Black To Blues Volume 2’ EP, which will be released on October 18th 2019 via Mascot Label Group/Mascot Records.

The EP kicks off with Robertson introducing McKendree on the organ as they launch into Freddie King’s ‘Big Legged Woman.’ It’s wild, raucous and has their own unmistakeable groove woven through the song as has their unrelenting take on Howlin’ Wolf’s ‘Down In The Bottom’. Talking about King and Wolf, guitarist Ben Wells says; “Those are some of our absolute favourites. We always identify with those guys ‘cause they had grooves and riffs like we would put in our tunes. So we are naturally drawn to that.”

The band cover Robert Johnsons’ ‘Me And The Devil Blues.’ Talking about it the band says; “We chose this song because we have such an appreciation for Robert Johnson and his music. It was so simple, direct, and eerie in a way that just resonates with the listener. Since Roberts music was guitar and vocal, we decided to totally write new music and lay his words on top of it. All of the music was written literally on the spot while recording in the studio! We are very proud of how this track came out!”.

The EP also features the sultry slow burning ‘All Your Love (I Miss Loving)’ originally performed by Mississippi legend Otis Rush, and Elmore James classic ‘Early One Morning, one of the wildest stand out songs from the one the links between traditional Delta and Chicago blues. The album closes with their take on ‘Death Letter Blues’ by Son House.

Black Stone Cherry stamp their own unmistakable personality on these deep cut classics.
