Alter Bridge, the follow-up project to Rock radio’s favorite Creed, was launched in 2007 with the album Blackbird. After Creed’s demise, Mark Tremonti, Scott Phillips and Brian Marshall teamed up with singer Myles Kennedy, and formed Alter Bridge as an outlet for their creative energy. Kennedy contributed a considerable amount to the overall songwriting process of Blackbird, which resulted in a heavy, groovy and aggressive album. Alternating acoustic interludes and hard-hitting choruses, the band’s new found songwriting freedom resulted in a fresh start for this Florida based Rock band.

Blackbird is available on audiophile black vinyl. The D-side contains a beautiful etched artwork – must be seen to believe!
