BLACK STONE CHERRY's
Ben Wells confesses:
"It’s not every day you get the privilege to play the Royal Albert
Hall. It’s not every day you get to film your show at the Royal Albert
Hall. But what is guaranteed, is that this is our most badass,
in-your-face, emotional and passion driven document of our band to
date. We could not be more excited to not only release this to the
world, but to be able to return to London and premiere it with you!! We
will also be hosting a Q&A for all of your questions, as will our
dear friend and director of this piece, Mike Rodway. England, it’s
impossible to stay away too long! We’ll see you the 20th!"
On Wednesday 29th September 2021 - the year of the band's 20th
Anniversary - Kentucky's favourite sons, BLACK STONE CHERRY,
realised that childhood dream of playing at the legendary London venue.
Check out a teaser from the documentary below.
The corresponding
CD/BluRay release is available to pre-order here
in various formats: digital, CD & BluRay, double vinyl and an
online exclusive double vinyl in transparent red.
From clubs to arenas and festival headline performances, no one
puts on the kind of show that BLACK STONE CHERRY do. The band
were one of the first international acts to tour the UK following
the Covid19 lockdown restrictions easing, and they gave every
single fan in attendance that night, a shot of euphoric happiness.
Talking about playing the iconic venue, drummer John-Fred Young
said,
"To be honest, I was terrified. You think about how many great
acts have played the place. The prestige behind it. We've wanted to
play the Royal Albert Hall since the first UK tour in 2007. Walking
in that place, it's just breathtaking. You walk on that stage, and
you say, we did it, and it's a feeling that I will cherish for the
rest of my life."
The Blu-Ray's live footage is interspersed with behind-the-scenes
interviews, fly on the wall footage and archival insights into the
band as kids first starting out, snippets of their first ever UK
tour and heartfelt moments of reflection. But ultimately 'Live From The Royal Albert
Hall… Y'All' was about bringing rock 'n' roll
to London, Kentucky style.
