29-10-2024
Black Stone Cherry kick off their European headline tour today by sharing a cover of The Cult‘s hit song “American Horse” featuring their tour compadres Ayron Jones and Skillet‘s John Cooper. The track was originally released in 1989, on The Cult‘s ‘Sonic Temple’ album.
Stream “American Horse” below.
Black Stone Cherry enthuse, “We are extremely excited to be coming back to the UK and bringing Ayron Jones and Skillet with us. Talk about a badass package of riff rock! We are pumped to have a single out featuring all three bands, something we have never done before, and we hope it gets people as excited as we are!”
Ayron Jones says, “As an artist I believe it’s my duty to pay tribute to other great artist in my work. That’s why when BSC reached out to me to be on this track by The Cult I jumped at the opportunity. It was insanely fun to work on this tune and help put a spin on this classic. Did you need anything else for the moment?”
Earlier this month, Black Stone Cherry shared a new version of “Out Of Pocket“, featuring Jesse Leach of Killswitch Engage. The original recording has been streamed five million times, while cumulative plays across all DSPs of the tracks on latest album Screaming At The Sky now exceeds 25 million total streams. Total streams for the songs on prior album The Human Condition now exceed 80 million plays.

The band shares, “We have been fans of Killswitch Engage since we can remember. Having Jesse be a part of one of our songs, bringing his intensity and passion, has truly made this a special moment in our sonic journey.”
Jesse Leach offers, “I’d always appreciated the Black Stone guys as good humans and songwriters. However, when I finally saw them live it all clicked for me! They are a great live band, and I am definitely a fan after seeing their show! Being asked to jump on this track was such an honor and a pleasure as well! It’s a damn good rock n roll song!”
Watch the original version below.
The band have just completed a tour in the U.S. with Clutch and Rival Sons and the song is released ahead of the bands’ October – November European headline tour which begins on 29 in Berlin, Germany and calls through Luxembourg, The Netherlands, France, Switzerland, Italy, Belgium and the UK, finishing on 23 November in London. Ayron Jones will support them on the entire tour with Skillet joining them for the UK run of shows. Tickets are available AT THIS LOCATION.
Talking about the tour they said, “Our beloved Cherry Heads in Europe, we have seen your comments and read all of your messages which have kept us feelin’ fuzzy since the last time we saw you. With that said, it’s been too damn long, and we can’t wait to come back for a full headline tour in October and November!! We look forward to seeing your faces and hearing your voices! Let’s goo!!”
