Black Stone Cherry release new acoustic version of ‘Deep’

The new track, Deep (Acoustic), is a reimagined version of the song taken from the Kentucky rockers’ recent EP Celebrate, which was released in March via Mascot Records. The release follows the response to the original version of Deep, which saw the band partner with UK charity Sands, supporting those affected by pregnancy loss and baby loss.

Speaking about the acoustic version, guitarist Ben Wells shares, “we are so happy to release this intimate version of an already deeply personal song. I think stripping it back, and adding in the layers of mandolin, dobro, and slide guitar, add to its emotion and convey its message in a very unique way. We hope you enjoy this version as much as we did creating it.”

He continues, “to be honest, I never imagined I would be writing something like this, but in an effort to be fully transparent, just like our song Deep, here we are, and I’m truly thankful that an organisation like Sands exists to help heal and guide those of us who have experienced something tragic like this, and can assist in being a lighthouse in a storm and help direct our hearts to a healing place.”

Rowena Pailing, Sands‘ Director of Bereavement Support Services, Community and Volunteering, adds, “we’re so grateful to Ben for highlighting his experience of miscarriage in this song, and for being so open about his emotions, which we hope encourages others to do the same. Talking about pregnancy loss or the death of a baby can feel very difficult, both for bereaved parents and for those around them, but finding the right words at the right time can really help bereaved parents and families feel supported when they need it most.”
