Black Country Communion 2 (also known simply as 2) is the second studio album by English-American hard rock band Black Country Communion. Recorded in early 2011 primarily at EastWest Studios in Hollywood, California, it was produced by Kevin Shirley and released by Mascot Records in Europe on 13 June 2011, and by J&R Adventures in North America the following day. The album reached number 23 on the UK Albums Chart and number 71 on the US Billboard 200.

Contents

Writing for Black Country Communion's second album began before the release of the band's self-titled debut in 2010, with bassist Glenn Hughes and guitarist Joe Bonamassa again leading the process. Producer Kevin Shirley increased his contribution to songwriting on the album, with credits on all but three tracks, compared to only two on the debut. As with Black Country Communion, Hughes performed lead vocals on the majority of songs, with Bonamassa leading on two tracks.

Black Country Communion 2 received positive reviews from the majority of critics, many of whom praised the album as a more coherent, balanced collection of songs than its predecessor. The album was promoted on a concert tour in June and July 2011 featuring shows in the United States and Europe, some of which were documented on the live video album Live Over Europe , released later in the year. One music video was released from the record, for "Man in the Middle".

Writing and recording

Glenn Hughes began writing material for Black Country Communion's second album before the band's self-titled debut had been released. [1] In contrast to the first album, for which material was written quickly, Hughes spent six months between May and December 2010 writing material for Black Country Communion 2, liaising with producer Kevin Shirley. [2] In October, drummer Jason Bonham suggested in an interview that recording for the follow-up to Black Country Communion was scheduled to begin in January 2011. [3] Hughes later tweeted on 11 January that the band had recorded its first song for the new album, which he estimated would be released in June. [4] Recording was completed within two and a half weeks, which guitarist Joe Bonamassa claimed was "more time than [the band] actually needed". [5] Hughes described the recording of Black Country Communion 2 as "a little easier" than that of the first album, due to the increased chemistry between band members by that time. [6]

Promotion and release

Black Country Communion 2 was officially announced on 17 March 2011, [7] with the track listing revealed the following week. [8] "Cold" was the first song from the album to be performed live, when Hughes played an acoustic arrangement of the track on a Spanish radio station on 11 April. [9] The first song to be released from the album was "The Outsider", which was premiered on British radio station Planet Rock on 5 May. [10] The track was later made available as a free digital download on the band's official website. [11] "Man in the Middle" was released on 6 June, with a music video directed by Davin Maske. [12] [13] Black Country Communion 2 was released in the UK and Europe by Mascot Records on 13 June 2011, and in North America by Bonamassa's label J&R Adventures the following day. [8]

In promotion of their second album, Black Country Communion embarked on their first concert tour, beginning with seven shows in the United States between 9 and 19 June 2011. [14] The tour also featured fourteen dates in Europe between 23 June and 30 July, including appearances at festivals such as Azkena Rock Festival in Spain, Bospop in the Netherlands and High Voltage in the UK. [15] The Michael Schenker Group supported Black Country Communion on the European tour. [16] In October the band released their first video album Live Over Europe , which featured footage from three shows in Germany. [17] The video reached the top ten in several regions, including number 8 on the UK Music Video Chart. [18] The following February, Live Over Europe was issued as a live album. [19]

Media response to Black Country Communion 2 was generally positive; aggregating website Metacritic reports a normalised rating of 75, based on six critical reviews. [38] Reviewing the release for AllMusic, Eduardo Rivadavia claimed that the album "arguably tops its worthy predecessor as a balanced song set", although suggested that it lacks any clear highlights in the vein of "Black Country" or "One Last Soul" from the band's self-titled debut. [39] Similarly, Mick Wall of Classic Rock praised the album's coherent composition and production, describing it as "clearly less of a 'project' than the first BCC disc, and more the real deal". [40] Wall hailed the "depth and artistry" of Black Country Communion 2, which he claimed was most prominent on songs such as "The Outsider", "The Battle for Hadrian's Wall" and "Cold". [40] The Independent columnist Nick Coleman compared the album favourably to the band's debut, which he shunned as "a ghastly glued-together assemblage of clichés and show-off playing". [42] Kerrang! suggested that Black Country Communion 2 "possibly betters [the band's] acclaimed debut". [43] Paul Cole of the Sunday Mercury praised the contributions of each band member in his review, concluding that "This is classic rock goes large, an album that lives up to its heritage. It may not be bettered this year." [45]

Multiple critics compared the album's sound to that of 1970s acts such as Deep Purple, Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin. Rivadavia claimed that "so many of [the album's] songs show no qualms about getting the "Led" out", but added that "Far from descending into a pale imitation ... however, BCC's offerings rise above and fly true thanks to the unimpeachable pedigree and recognizable musical personalities of all involved". [39] PopMatters writer Jedd Beaudoin concluded his review of the album with the admission that "It's retread music, purely, simply, unapologetically. So what?" [44] Coleman of The Independent claimed that the album "feels much more like a group searching for a sound together, even if the sound once belonged in a Venn diagram linking Led Zep, Deep Purple and Dio-era Sabbath". [42] Sunday Mercury writer Cole claimed that the album is "haunted by the spirit of [Led] Zeppelin", adding jokingly to "Close your eyes and it could be 1971 all over again." [45]

Black Country Communion 2 was nominated for the Planet Rock Album of the Year award in 2011. It came third in the poll behind Wasting Light by Foo Fighters and Bonamassa's own Dust Bowl , with the station calling it "a fantastic hard rock record that harks back to a simpler time in rock music when four guys could go into a studio and just play". [47] The band also came fourth in Planet Rock's Best Live Act poll, [48] as well as winning the Classic Rock award for Best Breakthrough Act. [49]
