The Moshville Times - Classic Cover: Black Stone Cherry, John Cooper (Skillet) & Ayron Jones

Black Stone Cherry kick off their European headline tour today by sharing a rip-snorting cover of The Cult’s hit song “American Horse” featuring their tour compadres Ayron Jones and Skillet’s John Cooper.

The track was originally released in 1989, on The Cult’s Sonic Temple album, which landed in the UK official album chart at #3 and went on to be certified platinum in the USA.

Black Stone Cherry enthuse, “We are extremely excited to be coming back to the UK and bringing Ayron Jones and Skillet with us. Talk about a badass package of riff rock! We are pumped to have a single out featuring all three bands, something we have never done before, and we hope it gets people as excited as we are!”

Ayron Jones says, “As an artist I believe it’s my duty to pay tribute to other great artist in my work. That’s why when BSC reached out to me to be on this track by The Cult I jumped at the opportunity. It was insanely fun to work on this tune and help put a spin on this classic. Did you need anything else for the moment?”
