Alter Bridge slowed right down for "Watch Over You", the ballad on their second album, Blackbird, from 2007, and sent it out as the record's second single in January 2008; it rose to 19 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart. Myles Kennedy wrote the words and sings lead, he and Mark Tremonti play the guitars, Tremonti adds backing vocals, and Brian Marshall and Scott Phillips hold down bass and drums, with Michael "Elvis" Baskette producing and Brian Sperber mixing.
The song found a second life on Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew, turning up in enough episodes to become a sort of unofficial anthem for the show, and in April 2008 a new version came out with Lacuna Coil's Cristina Scabbia singing alongside Kennedy. On stage it usually gets stripped down to acoustic, often with Kennedy alone.
