I must say that Glenn's voice is out of this world! With Derek, Joe and Jason is the perfect combo! 😍 I surely can tell this is the best Hard Rock song of 2024!
These guys carry the torch forward for Hard Rock fans like me who love the hard rock of the 70`s and beyond. Amazing band would have loved to have been a fly on the wall when this band gets together in the studio. I hope hope hope they tour and play America all over. Love to see them Live.
It has been a KILLER journey getting turned on to the brilliance of Trapeze in the early seventies and following Glenn's career and music all of these years and he is still doing it and doing it well. New BCC WOW~~!
These first two songs released from this new record are absolutely killer. The entire band is bringing me a game. Glenn’s vocals are killer, Bonamassa’s guitar playing is unreal and Jason Bonham is a beast.
Met Hughes with my daughter She was maybe 10 years old at the time and his interaction with her was so amazing and kind Truly a gentlemen and gentle soul
I'm so happy these guys are making more music. This Fn rules. Incredible always hearing Glenn sound this good, and Sherinian, Bonamossa, BONHAM?!?! such a force of rock and roll.
I really love " Red Sun". Great song!! Nice to hear new songs for BCC, sounding fresh and with a different musical approach. With these two songs so far, I was happily surprised.
Interesting I thought the opposite. Thought it was too familiar with a few of their other songs. But I'll have to listen to the whole thing when it's out. Thought red sun was just ok.
@@jerrywoods4066 There are certainly some similar songs in the band's career, but they were never options to be released as a single. This is what I think makes the biggest difference. The singles released were always those that followed the pattern of Black Country and One Last Soul, for example. Perhaps Stay Free is a more obvious difference in musical approach. But I also see in Red Sun's structure a difference in options for where to have the chorus, approach to the pre-chorus... these are subtle aspects, but they show the band experimenting.
Rolling Stones on 2023, Nick Cave, Knopfler, Gilmour, Joel, Deep Purple, BCC in 2024... I don't look at their age, they are still holding up... a very good year!
I'm adoring the luscious subliminal 'ooh yeah' and the 'mmmm's under the radar in the first 20seconds and all throughout the first verse. Don't stop!!! Absolutely Brilliant!
LOVE THIS 💗 Can't Wait For The Rest Of The Album Coming June 14th. Glenn Is Just Amazing He Will Be 73 In August......... He Is Better Then Ever.. God Bless You Brother 💞
by far this is a song that has been missing for at least 40 years from an ear of a Contender ,thanks to all the gentlemen who nailed this eternal tune , its an epic, rock lives because of you guys , long live rock and roll
There is no way in hell they won't. This album 2 tracks is their best right out of the gate. They will sell out theaters and it won't be cheap. Jason has a full schedule with Foreigner though, so who knows when?
I bought their first album when it came out, it had the passion and freshness of an exciting debut. I felt the next two while technically accomplished, they had something missing. I didn't listen to the fourth. But man, whatever it took to arrive to this, it was worth it. The best "rock" album I have listened in years. Awesome song. Great production as well.
Loved BCC first 3 albums. Felt like they’d lost the plot on their last studio album. Didn’t resonate with me all. THIS is the band I know and love. Back again, brilliant song!
Sadly, the radio stations and music industey focus on the young. Age shouldn't matter, only quality and these gentlemen have quality in spades! The quality of their songs is amazing, one of the best bands out there!

2024 sees the fifth release by the highly skilled rock group of veterans in Black Country Communion. Surprisingly after the last album was BCCIV, they’ve gone with….and I know you’ll be surprised….V The gang of 4 individual talents returned, fighting fit and raring to go. In case you have been living under a rock, for the uninitiated, BCC includes the talents of Glenn Hughes, Joe Bonamassa, Derek Sherinian, and Jason Bonham. Also along for the ride is erstwhile collaborator in the producers chair Kevin Shirley. A break up ensued in 2012 with Hughes stating that "Afterglow" might be the bands last album, blaming the bands lack of regular touring. Things got a tad heated where a gig in the UK was pulled, and Bonamassa wouldn’t let the other 3 use the name Black Country Communion. However the fickle finger of fate always seems to raise its head when there is good chemistry and money on the table (I.e.album sales). Some 7 years after BCCIX, comes, V. With V BCC have released their best and most consistent piece of work to date. Hughes is an absolute beast of a vocalist ever since he did Burn for Deep Purple in 1974. He is one of the few (if any) where their voice has got even better in their 7th decade. If you think that the opener "Enlightened" blows away the cobwebs then Hughes brings the funk into "Stay Free" and "Red Sun" which has a riff that’ll loosen those fillings for you without even having to find a dentist. Other highlights are "Restless" which sees Joe come to the fore as it's the soaked in blues feel . "Letting Go" has a riff that AC/DC Bon Scott era would have been proud of. In many of the songs it is a vocal and guitar riff trade off between Bonamassa and Hughes. Whatever Joe can play, Glenn can match him in vocal histrionics. Such so is the intro to "You’re Not Alone" , the song soon melds into Black Zeppelin territory (it had to appear somewhere !) and Bonamassa steps up to the mic in the main. One has to have a certain amount of confidence to trade off with Hughes, and it works well, and should happen more frequently. The super-group moniker has been used far too freely over the years, but in the case of BCC it is rightly so. All the 4 members of the puzzle bring their own game to V, making it one of the best rock albums if 2024, and in my opinion, the best so far in the BCC catalogue. Even though these players are dedicated to other projects (it’s worth wondering where Bonamassa finds the time), they congeal like a road hardened unit. Kudos to Shirley whose man-behind-the-curtain sonic supervision provides the road map for these guys to let loose and detonate like the pros they are. So if they can't tour for love or money, it remains one hell of a legacy to leave behind. Support the artist by purchasing here joeb.me/2f2zabM Enjoy Jim
It's love at first riff for this utterly superlative slice of Hard Rock. Of course when you've got Glenn Hughes, Derek Sherenian, Joe Bonamassa and Jason Bonham on the same track, you'd kinda expect it to be at least halfway decent - it certainly doesn't disappoint - this is the most super of supergroups, and in this fine tune they have delivered Hard Rock perfection. My Score: Excellent 5*
Glenn Hughes.....soon to be 73 yrs old. Fucking force of nature. Rock on sir
Got that right!! So great last month in concert!!
73! Peace! ❤
@@vpovince1001 saw him back to back nights this past August. I didn’t stick around for Yngwie.. opted to hang out with Glenn’s band after their set😊
@trowerz Good choice. Glenn and band were another level. Nicest dudes ever too
@@southboundberetta You guys were kind and generous with your burgers🤣🤘Thank you..Slay it guys!!
Amazing talent in this band and amazing vocals from a 72 year old rock star.😊
I must say that Glenn's voice is out of this world! With Derek, Joe and Jason is the perfect combo! 😍
I surely can tell this is the best Hard Rock song of 2024!
He kept singing all these years it won't change, im almost his age and sound like I did in my 20s
Это ближе к блюз року
Totally agree!!
And the sad part is rock radio won't touch it
Wow, this is killer. Glen Hughes is unbelievable, most singers half his age can't touch him.
NOBODY half his age can touch Glenn. Period.
He is outsinging an entire new generation.
Glenn Hughes is the VOICE of ROCK, SOUL and FUNK!
These guys carry the torch forward for Hard Rock fans like me who love the hard rock of the 70`s and beyond. Amazing band would have loved to have been a fly on the wall when this band gets together in the studio. I hope hope hope they tour and play America all over. Love to see them Live.

Glen's voice is so awesome. This is a real super group. Every album is a masterpiece. Love this band. Can't wait for the new album.
And on top of it all, the lyrics......mind blowing, few could do these lyrics justice like Glenn does
He has a true gift 👍🏾
These first two songs released from this new record are absolutely killer. The entire band is bringing me a game. Glenn’s vocals are killer, Bonamassa’s guitar playing is unreal and Jason Bonham is a beast.
Zeppelin meets Soundgarden what a supercool funky sound A-MA-ZING.
BBC Have defo Evolved and improved.
Good Stuff👍
And Audioslave too...
@@NiPoMusic off Course, I have their 3 albums but forgot about them,
Main thing is this is an improvement on there general sound👍
They have 4 albums, and new one makes five, BBC V @@Lukee.-uq5ym
@@tedbrookhouse9395 if you go back to the start of this whole thread we were talking about Audioslave .lol. 3 Albums.
Audioslave came straight to my mind after the first five seconds. Joe channeling his inner Tom Morello....love it!
I love BCC, but the two Dead daisies albums are SO DAMN GOOD! Resonate…Everything Glenn touches is gold.
This is a masterpiece. Just, wow.
Glenn rules and always will! Second to none! Peace!
Modern rock perfection - they are getting better and better. Play on and play loud!!!
Exactly! There is no need to try to improve anything about BCC. You could try, but you would fail. 😀
A true Rock band, something that has been missing in today's music. Happy to see new music from great musicians.
No shit dude. Thank God for guys like this that realize us old time rock fans miss great new music.
I had the joy of meeting Glen Hughes, what a great guy. Asked him about how he still had his legendary voice said he was just blessed.
Met Hughes with my daughter She was maybe 10 years old at the time and his interaction with her was so amazing and kind Truly a gentlemen and gentle soul

The Last Great Supergroup!!!
I'm so happy these guys are making more music. This Fn rules. Incredible always hearing Glenn sound this good, and Sherinian, Bonamossa, BONHAM?!?! such a force of rock and roll.
Rock n Roll is Healthy, Alive and Well folks. Absolutely killer tune right here
Joe B. Is not only the greatest blues guitarist, he is also the greatest rock guitarist. Not unlike Mr. Jeff Beck one of Joe's heroes.
No dude don't say that
I really love " Red Sun". Great song!! Nice to hear new songs for BCC, sounding fresh and with a different musical approach. With these two songs so far, I was happily surprised.

This is sooooooooo good! Thank you, guys!
Thank you for keeping alive classic rock. When I listen to you I'm also staying alive...... I can endlessly listen this work......
What a truly SUPER GROUP. Amazing stuff and Glen’s voice is a rock treasure.

Tour with this, we humbly beg thee!
There is no way in hell they won't. This album 2 tracks is their best right out of the gate. They will sell out theaters and it won't be cheap. Jason has a full schedule with Foreigner though, so who knows when?
@@lorenmorgan1931 Foreigner??
@@bradmohr8098 No clue why I said Foreigner, he hasnt been in that band in like 15 years. What I meant was the Sammy best of all worlds tour.
Jason plays with Sammy Hagar and does the Jason bonham led zeppelin experience he hasn't played in Foreigner for years @lorenmorgan1931
Rock music should be a subject at school, fantastic music, hope to hear this live in Australia.
That heavy riff is KILLER. Fantastic song❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥♥️♥️♥️
Judging from the two tracks, could be the hard,heavy mysic album of the year. Damn....
This group has old school punch. Like bands of 50 years ago.
Deep Purple meets Zepplin meets Joe Bonamasa! Cant loose!
Glenn Hughes is a fucking legend
I too come from the Black Country and we are very proud of this super group
Can't wait for the new album. BCC has been my favorite rock band for several years!
I bought their first album when it came out, it had the passion and freshness of an exciting debut. I felt the next two while technically accomplished, they had something missing. I didn't listen to the fourth. But man, whatever it took to arrive to this, it was worth it. The best "rock" album I have listened in years. Awesome song. Great production as well.
Glenn Hughes is the man!! 🎸🔥
Chris Cornell is looking down rocking to this. Unreal!
These guys are the Modern day Fab Four.... Rock music is Back !!
Stellar! Classics are always the best! Love you guys.
Imagine being at a Black Country Communion concert.... wow!
I've been twice and desparately wanna go again... Switzerland is waiting for ya lads!
Sensational music, good preview for the new album. Come to Brazil with the full band, please!
Loved BCC first 3 albums. Felt like they’d lost the plot on their last studio album. Didn’t resonate with me all. THIS is the band I know and love. Back again, brilliant song!

Glenn Hughes, one of my most favorite humans! We have been fans from the start, this is as SUPERGROUP as you get! 💯
Glenn is ageless .... Fucking Greatness ... 🤘😎🤘
Blues Rock at its best. 🎸🤘🏼🙂
This sounds slicker and better than all previous outings. I ordered the cd and hopefully band will tour U.S. next year am crossing my fingers
My favorite supergroup 😎
What a band....we are so lucky.
Voice and bass tone from the gods
Saw them a little over a week ago on a Keeping the Blues Alive cruise with Joe Bonamassa! Definitely a great show!

Another great song. And it's really because of the musicians and the outstanding vocals. Just top notch.
LYRICS:
On my way to Avalon
And it's so hard to breathe
The path that I do walk upon
My guide, I do believe
Seasons come and seasons go
Waitin' on the sky
Voices in the fireglow
I fail to wonder why
Down come a cold hard rain
Can't lose my grip
Drawn to the skyline
Into the maze
Lost in the harmony
I see the bluebird fall
Inside a dream
Ghost in the karma
Last stargaze
Beside the haunted sea
Red sun
Change gonna come
It's just begun
Red sun
Here come the flood
It is all understood
The last mistake, the travesty
I could not kill the pain
You lie awake, the majesty
A life against the grain
Down come a cold hard rain
Can't lose my grip
Drawn to the skyline
Into the maze
Lost in the harmony
I see the bluebird fall
Inside a dream
Ghost in the karma
Last stargaze
Beside the haunted sea
Red sun
Change gonna come
It's just begun
Red sun
Here come the flood
It is all understood
Red sun
Lost in the shade
The light it will fade
Red sun
Across the land to the sea
It keeps calling to me
Down come a cold hard rain
Can't lose my grip
Drawn to the skyline
Into the maze
Lost in the harmony
I see the bluebird fall
Inside a dream
Ghost in the karma
Last stargaze
Beside the haunted sea
Red sun
Change gonna come
It's just begun
Red sun
Here come the flood
It is all understood
Red sun
Lost in the shade
The light it will fade
Red sun
Across the land to the sea
It keeps calling to me
Completamente grandioso!!!!❤
damn this has an Audioslave sound....love it.
Nice work guys
Simply AWESOME! Already got it on my playlist. Can’t wait for the album to drop!!!
Waking up with this huge Red Sun on the sky!!!
the first 2 albums are classics. I'm excited!
Total and utter class. Can't wait for the album
