Black Stone Cherry
Band Edmonton United States Formed 2001
Black Stone Cherry formed in 2001 in Edmonton, United States. Black Stone Cherry has 16 chart appearances on 12 radio countdowns from 5 stations on RockLists, spanning 2006–2025. The most successful song on radio countdowns is “In My Blood”, which appears on 1 list with a best position of #24. The station that charted Black Stone Cherry most often is 98KUPD (Phoenix, AZ), with 9 appearances. The artist’s biggest year on year-end countdowns was 2012.
Black Stone Cherry came roaring out of Edmonton, Kentucky, in 2001, a four-piece playing hard rock with the Southern drawl left fully intact: Chris Robertson singing lead and playing guitar, Ben Wells on guitar, Jon Lawhon on bass and John Fred Young on drums, with all three backing Robertson up on vocals.
Roadrunner signed them, and the self-titled debut in 2006 is thick with swampy, down-tuned riffs and big, whiskey-soaked choruses. "Lonely Train" chugs like its title and "Hell and High Water" swaggers, and "Rain Wizzard" gave the countdowns another helping of the same heavy medicine.
It was only the start. They stayed with Roadrunner until 2015 before moving to Mascot Label Group, charted seventeen singles on the US Mainstream Rock chart, and have put out eight studio albums and two EPs, most recently Screamin' at the Sky in 2023.
