Alter Bridge – Blackbird 2LP

2007's *Blackbird* marked the creative (and commercial) launch of **Alter Bridge**, the follow-up project to Rock radio's favorite *Creed.* 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. The D-side contains a beautiful etched artwork – must be seen to believe!
