The forthcoming BCC album features the song 'Save Me', originally intended to be performed by Led Zeppelin after their 2007 reunion concert at London's O2 Arena. The song, written by Jason Bonham, was intended to be worked on by Led Zeppelin's John Paul Jones and Jimmy Page, but was abandoned when Robert Plant opted out from touring with the band.
Earlier this year, before Jason entered the studio to record the new Black Country album, he gave 'Save Me' to BCC's vocalist/bassist Glenn Hughes, who finished the arrangement and wrote the lyrics. "Save Me originally started off as an idea that I worked on with Jimmy and John," says Bonham. "You'll notice it - there's a slight Zepesque riff - It's got a definite feel to it."
In July, BCC will embark on a European tour that will take in concerts at:
Llandudno Cymru Arena - Saturday 23rd July
London’s High Voltage Festival - Sunday 24th July
Leeds O2 Academy - Tuesday 26th July
Newcastle O2 Academy - Wednesday 27th July
