Delve Into 'Folklore And Superstition' With BLACK STONE CHERRY
August 20, 2008The Pulse of Radio reports: BLACK STONE CHERRY issued its second album, titled "Folklore and Superstition", on Tuesday (August 19). Although the album title reflects the band's stated interest in "history, roots and heritage," frontman Chris Robertson told The Pulse of Radio that the first single, "Blind Man", is based on their feelings about the current state of society. "Anybody who knows anything about our band know that the one thing that we care most about is positivity through music," he said. "So we try to write uplifting songs. Whether they sound that way or not, that's what they are. That song is just saying don't go through life with your eyes closed, because it's just hoping that everyone can feel human again one day and not walk down the street with a bitter look on their face, and they can actually smile at people."
BLACK STONE CHERRY issued its self-titled debut in July of 2006. It featured the single "Lonely Train".
The group hails from the small south Kentucky town of Edmonton, located in a "dry" county where alcohol is prohibited.
Drummer John Fred Young's father is a founding member of the Grammy-winning Southern rock band the KENTUCKY HEADHUNTERS.
BLACK STONE CHERRY next plays on August 28 in Little Rock, Arkansas, and will alternate between dates with THEORY OF A DEADMAN and SEETHER through late September before heading off to Europe.
The "Blind Man" video can be viewed below. The clip was shot on July 10 in Louisville, Kentucky at the famous Waverly Hills Sanatorium.
