Black Country Communion 2 is the second studio album by English–American hard rock band Black Country Communion. Recorded between January and February 2011, primarily at EastWest Studios in Hollywood, California, it was produced by Kevin Shirley and released in Europe by Mascot Records on June 13, 2011, and in North America by J&R Adventures the next day. The album reached number 23 on the UK Albums Chart and number 71 on the US Billboard 200. Writing for Black Country Communion's second album began before the release of the band's self-titled debut in 2010, with bassist Glenn Hughes and guitarist Joe Bonamassa again leading the process. Producer Kevin Shirley increased his contribution to songwriting on the album, with credits on all but three tracks, compared to only two on the debut. As with Black Country Communion, Hughes performed lead vocals on the majority of songs, with Bonamassa leading on two tracks. Black Country Communion 2 received positive reviews from the majority of critics, many of whom praised the album as a more coherent, balanced collection of songs than its predecessor.
