"Black Country Rock" is a song by English musician David Bowie, released on his 1970 album The Man Who Sold the World. The song was recorded in May 1970, with sessions taking place at Trident and Advision Studios in London. The lineup featured Bowie on lead vocals, guitarist Mick Ronson, bassist/producer Tony Visconti, drummer Mick Woodmansey and Ralph Mace on Moog synthesiser. The track was mostly composed by Ronson and Visconti, who developed it using a basic song sketch from Bowie. Labelled under the working title "Black Country Rock", Bowie used the title to write the lyrics towards the end of the sessions, resulting in a repeated two-line verse and chorus. A blues rock and hard rock number, Bowie imitates T. Rex's Marc Bolan in his vocal performance.

Some publications have ranked it one of Bowie's best songs. The song, which also appeared as the B-side of the single "Holy Holy" in January 1971, was included on the Sound + Vision box set in 1989. It was remastered in 2015 as part of the Five Years (1969–1973) box set and was remixed by Visconti in 2020 to celebrate its 50th anniversary. (en)
  • «Black Country Rock» es una canción escrita por el músico británico David Bowie para el álbum The Man Who Sold the World, el cual fue publicado en noviembre de 1970 en los Estados Unidos y en abril de 1971 en Reino Unido. Más tarde apareció como el lado B del sencillo "Holy Holy" en el Reino Unido en enero de 1971.​ "Black Country Rock" ha sido descrita como un "respiro" de la pesadez musical y temática del resto del álbum.​ Su estilo ha sido comparado con el de T. Rex, contemporáneo de Marc Bolan, hasta el vibrato imitativo de Bowie en el último verso.​ De Acuerdo con el productor Tony Visconti, Bowie tenía lista para el comienzo de sesiones, pero las palabras fueron adición de último momento en el estudio, el cantante hizo su impresión de Bolan "espontáneamente... porque se quedó sin letras... todos pensamos que era genial, así que se quedó."​ (es)
