First Place

A little history- Black Country Communion is a super group, formed by Glenn Hughes, Joe Bonamassa, and some other musicians; it was a side project started in 2009 as they all have solo music careers, imagine a rock and roll guy and a blues guy making music together. Their music is classic 70's rock and Glenn Hughes has the perfect voice, and Joe sings also but it is his guitar playing that is so soulful it haunts; they have made four albums soon five together though it has been difficult, with Joe's busy solo schedule making touring a problem- writing also !

Crow soared his sweet song he loudly poured (guitar, drum, piano interlude) Crow, with you I glide you are my guide courage you provide oh, fear I will defy fly Crow takes me to Heaven ... to Heaven's gate whispering, a good life cultivate for this is your fate can you let go of hurt and hate ? and a beautiful life create rise for the world into fire Crow soared his sweet song loudly he poured the fire turned crow's feathers black he tried but his song never came back a harsh caw ... that sounds like an attack though, for his sacrifice was given insight intelligence and wisdom finite fly Crow takes me to Heaven ... to Heaven's gate whispering, a good life cultivate for this is your fate can you let go of hurt and hate ? and a beautiful life create ......
