The last album I bought was Magic Mountain by Black Stone Cherry. Although it was an improvement on Between the Devil & The Deep Blue Sea I still found myself slightly disappointed. The proposed return to a more stripped-down and dirty Southern rock, saturated with 70s influence was actually a bit hit-and-miss. "Hollywood in Kentucky" was astoundingly embarrassing, though "Fiesta del Fuego" and "Blow My Mind" were pretty cool.
Will they ever top the consistency, confidence and rock and/or roll brilliance of Folklore and Superstition? Probably not.....probably not....
