The band is composed by Ricky Dal Pane on vocals and guitar, Alex Celli on guitar, Alessandro Aroni on bass, Antonio Perugini on drums and Stefano Olivi on Hammond/Keys. The agreement inside the band result to be so high that it brings them in a short time to record their first album “From the Solitary Woods”, which is released at the end of 2009 as self-produced Cd. The album is excellently welcomed both from criticism and from the public, getting very good reviews on well-known italian and foreign magazines and the band starts a series of concerts to promote the album, appearing as live-guests in Italy for bands like Uriah Heep and Jethro Tull. They are influenced by many groups like Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd, Deep Purple, Genesis, Uriah Heep, Humble Pie, Allman Brothers, Doors, Neil Young, Blue Oyster Cult, Genesis, Atomic Rooster, King Crimson, all beloved 70 music, flowed in a sound mixture filtered by their own personality. Old-school rock music with ballads and psychedelic visions, instinctive and open-minded, in continuous evolution, note by note. At the end of 2010, Andrea Palli replaces Perugini on drums and with him, B.B.B. begins to write new songs for the new album, but due to growing personal and musical differences on how keeping on the band, they split and Ricky Dal Pane starts a new project, baptized Witchwood, again with Stefano Olivi and Andrea Palli and with new arrivals Luca Celotti on bass and Samuel Tesori on flute. Disappointment for the previous split makes Ricky, aware of the appreciations received with "From the Solitary Woods" of which he's the main music and lyrics composer, even more determined and enthusiast about the new project, reaching its goal: Witchwood debut "Litanies from the Woods" (Jolly Roger Records) with a so similar title to the previous B.B.B. album, is considered both in Italy and abroad as one of the best hard / prog album of 2015, bringing out, deservedly, its great talent.
This reissue, with a "new" artwork, makes available again, on Cd and for the very first time on Lp format, a great album with huge potential, then fully expressed in Witchwood, creating infact their roots.
