Black Country Communion II

Is a second Black Country Communion album in the works?

During an encounter with fan Wyatt Brake before his Jason Bonham's Led Zeppelin Experience show last night in Merrilville, Indiana, Jason Bonham reportedly told him that a second Black Country Communion album was being planned.

Although the conversation was brief and hurried, Bonham indicated that BCC would be heading into the studio in the new year (or, possibly, releasing the album in the new year) before taking the band on the road. Brake wrote in the Led Zeppelin mailing list For Badgeholders Only (FBO):

...it sounds like the band wants to have two albums' worth of material under their belt before they do a full-scale tour... this triggered an immediate comparison to Robert Plant's decision not to tour until 1983, after completing both Pictures at Eleven and Principle of Moments.


One may recall Plant's reasoning for not touring after Pictures at Eleven was so he would have a full shows worth of material to do, and not have to rely on any Led Zeppelin songs. Perhaps Black Country Communion feels the same way about playing Led Zeppelin/Deep Purple/Joe Bonamassa songs.
