Between the Devil & the Deep Blue Sea is the third studio album by the American hard rock band Black Stone Cherry . It was released on May 27, 2011 via Roadrunner Records .

Emergence

For the first time in the band's history, the recordings did not take place in the southern states , but in the Bay 7 Studios in Los Angeles . For the album, the band wrote a total of 45 to 50 songs, twelve of which ended up on the regular version of the album. Three more were used for the limited version.

The album was produced by Howard Benson . The singer Lzzy Hale from the band Halestorm can be heard as a guest musician on the songs Such a Shame and Won't Let Go . Can't You See is a cover version of a song by Toy Caldwell. For the songs White Trash Millionaire and Blame it on the Boom Boom were music videos rotated.

The album title goes back to an old English saying. Sailors often had to climb over the railing on the high seas to do work on the sides of the ship or on the hull. This process is called "Working between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea", in German "Between the devil and the deep blue sea to work."

For the release of the album, the Evan Williams Kentucky Bourbon company brought 450,000 bottles with the band's logo into stores in the United States.
