Black Country Communion
In 2009 Bonamassa, bassist and vocalist Glenn Hughes, drummer Jason Bonham and keyboardist Derek Sherinian formed the supergroup Black Country Communion. They were forced to add the word 'Communion' to their name after another band called Black Country raised an objection. The band's first album, Black Country, was released in September 2010 to critical acclaim, charting in the U.K. Top 20 and the U.S. Top 60. The band continued working with Kevin Shirley for their second album, simply titled 2, which arrived in June 2011. In February 2012 the band released its first concert album, Live Over Europe. Their third album Afterglow will be released in 30 October 2012. Bonamassa is primarily the group's guitarist, but has also contributed lead vocals to some songs, such as "An Ordinary Son" and "The Battle for Hadrian's Wall".

Famous quotes containing the words black, country and/or communion:
“I don’t see black people as victims even though we are exploited. Victims are flat, one- dimensional characters, someone rolled over by a steamroller so you have a cardboard person. We are far more resilient and more rounded than that. I will go on showing there’s more to us than our being victimized. Victims are dead.”
—Kristin Hunter (b. 1931)
“Every country gets the circus it deserves. Spain gets bullfights. Italy gets the Catholic Church. America gets Hollywood.”
—Erica Jong (b. 1942)
“There is a communion of more than our bodies when bread is broken and wine drunk.”
—M.F.K. Fisher (1908–1992)
