Read the latest issue for free, right here: https://bit.ly/Gi_Issue_103 Proud Kentucky rockers Black Stone Cherry emerge from a challenging few years with a behemoth of an album, 'Screamin’ At The Sky' (Mascot Records/Mascot Label Group), out now worldwide. The four-piece's eighth studio release explodes with urgently emotive pop-rock hooks, heartfelt, redemptive lyrics, headbanging riffs and powerful dynamics that demand to be heard. Jonathan Graham sits down with the band's founding members, Chris Robertson and Ben Wells, to discuss the new album on launch day and much more.
