Black Country Communion may just be the Great Last Hope for Classic Hard Rock. This is an amazing band with two albums under their belt, both produced by the gifted Kevin Shirley. The band features ex-Deep Purple and Trapeze bassist/vocalist Glenn Hughes, drummer Jason Bonham, guitar wizard Joe Bonamassa and keyboard genius Derek Sherinian. This is not just a super group because of the names in the band; this is a super group because their music is freakishly good.

The double DVD was filmed with 14 high def cameras and in 5.1 surround sound during BCC’s tour of Europe in 2010. The band has impressed hard rock fans worldwide with their ability to capture the spirit of Classic Hard Rock and now, they prove their salt in a live setting. The DVD includes “Black Country,” “One Last Soul,’ “Man in the Middle,” “Save me” and Songs of Yesterday.” While these may be the best of the bunch, there is not one weak musical moment during the entire DVD. Bonus features include a great documentary on the making of the DVD.

This is one of the best bands out there right now and fans of this type of music need to be snapping up everything BCC does as we need to get them to the USA for a full fledged tour. Hughes and Company are on a mission to prove old rock never dies, it just gets louder. The musicianship, songwriting, passion and brute force in this band harkens back to a time when music was more than a backing track to a commercial.

While Black Country Communion’s second album, titled simply 2, will be on everyone’s Best of 2011 list, Live Over Europe will join it on the Best Concert DVD lists for the year.

This is a MUST OWN.
