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".
