    They are a band that in normal times seem to hit the UK in mid winter and I always try and get to see them , brings a a bit of Southern sunshine to a cold dark winter night in Scotland.
    Their best albums are Whippoorwill, and Holding all the Roses. This doesn’t match them but is a n enjoyable listen, after their last couple of albums seemed to be okay but maybe treading water.
    Looking forward to hearing some Georgia in Glasgow from them next February.

    These guys are unbelievable! I think, apart from classic pre-77 Skynyrd, they are the best Southern rock band hands down. And the covers they do, of practically ANY BAND, is 100%! Check out their live Fairies wear Boots. Crushed it💪🏽😎

      Wow better than the Allmans? That's saying a lot. I'm a 70's guy & for 70's Southern rock I also really like Marshall Tucker, ARS & The Outlaws. Point Blank & Raisin' Kane also have some good tunes

      @@wolf1977 I love all of those too. That was the first style of music I got into, in the mid 70s heyday. I say that because Smoke is so versatile. They can do heavy rock, blues, country, covers, you name it. Those guys & Allman’s probably are tied for second, but as much as I love Hatchet, Outlaws, MTB, CDB, Rossington Collins, Blackfoot, and the others--BlackBerry Smoke are my favs behind classic Skynyrd. Also, thes3 guys aren’t really “album” guys, they crush it live. Look at practically any CZcams video of em live. That’s where they shine, or “smoke”😎

      If they came out 35 years ago, they'd be legends by now. The most underrated under the radar band out there. Charlie Starr is amazing and should be a listed amongst the greatest of southern rock frontmen.

    Thanks for doing this review, Pete. I really love Blackberry Smoke but haven't heard most of this album yet. I'm a fan of Southern rock *and* downhome (i.e. *not* polished, radio-pop-oriented) country, so I do enjoy both aspects of their music. Sometimes, they rock harder than many other Southern rock bands, *and* they're more country too!

    I like 3 tracks from this album: "Live It Down", "All Rise Again" & "Morningside". Band reminds me of a harder-edged Gov't Mule, or maybe The Temperance Movement (I like that band a bit more though). Homecoming; Live In Atlanta & Live From Capricorn Studios (cover of the Allmans' "Revival") have some nice live tunes

    I agree with Pete... I've been following this band for years, but sometimes I find them too country-oriented for my taste. But their more rocking tunes are great. Best tracks: All rise again (with great guest vocals and guitar by Warren Haynes), You Hear Georgia, Old Scarecrow))

  • @joet6434
    @joet6434 Před 2 lety

    I have been a fan of this band since hearing what i personally feel was their best album 'The Whipporwill' in 2012, have seen them live twice so far, great shows with Zeppelin, Sabbath & Beatles jams thrown in. I liked the new album but thought it was a little short & lacking in bite, 'Find a Light' from 2018 was the better album but i like that they are always willing to try new sounds & take risks. They have been my favourite modern band since hearing the track 'Shakin Hands with the Holy Ghost' from 'Whipporwill' on Planet Rock. They celebrated their 20th Anniversary this year. Their previous 'Live from Capricorn Studios' album with Jimmy Hall of Wet Willie fame was great, shame its only available in the US but spotify comes in handy sometimes. Diggin Petes shirt, have that flick on VHS, always liked the gnarly practical effects, wish we could return to it & reduce the amount of CG in modern films.

    Pete I dont know which albums of theirs you’re familiar with but their third album, called the whipperwill, released in 2012, is in my opinion a masterpiece the slow songs are good, but there’s a lot more rocking songs on it that just crush! It also never gets too country for my liking, as I am with you on that. Check that album out if you haven’t it’s a 10/10 with not one clunker
