Black Stone Cherry have released a lyric video for Southern Fried Friday Night , one of the highlights of their sixth studio album Family Tree. The album, which was released last month, scored the band their third UK Top 10 chart placing.
"We wrote Southern Fried Friday Night with a friend of ours who plays drums for a country artist, Jason Aldean," says frontman Chris Robertson. "His name's Rich Redmond. We wrote the song several years ago, and it was different then, and we reimagined it when we were in the studio.
"That slinky guitar part that carries the verse was a last minute thing. I just kinda happened. We hit record, and when the verse came in I ended up playing that instead of the original part."
Black Stone Cherry are currently on tour in the US, and return to Europe in early June for a series of festival shows. Full dates below.
