Screamin' at the Sky is the eighth studio album by American hard rock band Black Stone Cherry. It was released on September 29, 2023, through Mascot Records.[1] It was preceded by the singles "Out of Pocket", "Nervous" and "Screamin' at the Sky".[2] [1] From September 27 through October 5, the album was also available to purchase on digital in a special limited edition format, including the exclusive bonus track "Love Somebody" and covers of Elvis Presley's "Burning Love" and "Jumpin' Jack Flash" by The Rolling Stones.[3]
Steve Beebee of Kerrang! wrote that the album "recalls the grungy heft of their classic 2006 debut while simultaneously sounding like something utterly of its own time", concluding that it "hits as hard as anything they've ever done". John Aizlewood of Classic Rock felt that the band's "formula remains reassuringly simple: songs that pack a ferocious punch; guitar fireworks that crash and burn; Chris Robertson's grizzled, last-man-standing vocals; and an admirable refusal to lighten the load with anything as compromising as a ballad".
