Blackbird is the second studio album by rock band Alter Bridge, released in the United Kingdom on October 8, 2007, with releases in the United States, Australia, and Japan on October 9th, October 20th, and December 4th, 2007, respectively. The first single "Rise Today," was released on July 30, 2007. The album peaked at number 13 on the US Billboard 200, selling 47,000 copies in its first week on the charts.
There are many differences between Blackbird and One Day Remains, the band's 2004 debut album, the most notable being the full integration of Myles Kennedy as a guitarist and songwriter. While a large majority of the songs on One Day Remains were written before Kennedy came on board, this time around it was a collaborative effort with Tremonti and Kennedy sharing the songwriting duties, while all four band members worked on the arrangements.
The UK version of the album contains track titled "We Don't Care At All," a track also found on the iTunes downloadable version of the album. There is also a version of the US release that sold exclusively through Best Buy that contains the two bonus tracks "The Damage Done" and "New Way to Live," and a Walmart version with a bonus DVD containing exclusive interviews and an in-depth look at the making of the album.
