Sweet , I've been waiting for you to get to these guys . The future of southern rock right there . PEACE
Whos a smoke head out there? Come on y'all. I love this band. I've seen them live over 20 times in the past 4 to 5 years. These guys are down to earth like what.
"Smoke One"
on the back of Charlie's guitar... lolol
@@richeaton7436 you know brother ric
Cool!
Best band I’ve ever seen live. Their sound is spot on. Also a group with great character and sense of humor, which is always a plus.
Shaking hands with the holy ghost is a badass tune by them also . Charlie Starr rips the lead in that one.. he's a great musician..
Luv Shaking Hands w/Holy Ghost. That would be a great song to critique. 😊
Carrying on the Southern Rock tradition into the 21st century. Kudos guys!
I was impressed with the timing, at times I was counting half time and thinking wow they are steady, rock solid, brothers on bass and drums explains it. Cool band l never heard of.
If you haven't hear this version of Ain't much left of me.... It's Amazing..!!!!

Darn Fil!, The first 30 seconds had me wanting
more of these guys. I’ve never heard of them.
Such a great sound and good, understandable
lyrics. Thanks again for leading the way 🙂
They're great band. Ain't much left of me and medicate my mind are a couple of favorite
Thanks....listening and enjoying !
Blackberry Smoke are best southern rock band without a doubt
This is one of those bands I've heard of, but never really listened to. Starting today, I'll be listening to these guys regularly. They rock!👍😎🎸🎶
38 Special, Molly Hatchet, Blackfoot, BOA, Wet Willie, The Outlaws, Little Feat ... all the underdogs of Southern Rock !
love me some little feet when I'm drunk. waiting for Columbus album. Go Jim Dandy
Another great band analysis. Blackberry Smoke are a solid band. They were compared to the Black Crowes but I feel the songwriting and groove are different. Thanks ........ !!!!
Orlando Pacheco - Exactly. Too many people tend to immediately compare a "new" band's sound to an existing band's sound and too many times that comparison clouds the hability of those people to notice the differences.
@Fuzzy Butkus Charlie Starr
Chris Robinson
both from georgia
also from georgia
Met these guys many times....from atlanta,ga
he mentions the basics so solidly done!!! spot on👍
This...this is music. This tickles my vintage rock fancy. Bring it on forever.
Excellent southern rock band!!
I grew up on Skynyrd, The Allman Brothers, .38 Special, and these dudes are right up there, thanks for the introduction :)
Cheers, Fil. Thanks!
Charlie is a real talent. I think he's one of those guys, if he hears it once, he can play it. They play the most sublime covers.
These guys really tear up the stage live, highly recommend!!
Oh yeah...BlackBerry Smoke are just a straight up great rock and roll band. This is just one of their “flavors.” Anyone who hasn’t heard them before should check out more of their tracks/albums. ✌🏻😎🎸
Great Band! Once you see them live, you now have a new addiction. Awesome live and the atmosphere that the fans bring is truly amazing. Great review!
I would like to see them really hit it big but I will say for my own selfish reasons its so fun to go to the smaller venues that they pack because they have such a solid following of good people !!! The Ritz in Raleigh N.C. is an amazing place to watch them
Seen them live. Fabulous.
thanks Fil, these guys are top notch live ! also ,they do some acoustic songs that are incredibly crafted
I saw them in Nashville, TN in 2017 with ZZ top playing a smaller set at the end. Probably my second favorite concert.
Sounds good to me. Another 'read about them but never heard them' deal. Reminds me of early Humble Pie crossed with Skynyrd. heck, two of my fave bands ever so i'm in!
Had the pleasure of meeting Paul Jackson recently. Very cool guy. Due to my job. Had to pretend I didn't know who he was. BlackBerry Smoke ROCKS!!!
Always like it when you do a really solid Southern rock band like this Fil. Really like this band, great sound and lyrics! You really nailed it when you said they get back to the basics. Thanks bro! ✌
LOVE these guys!!!
Good Rock n Roll is simple stuff. Good analysis :-)
That Charlie Starr can sang!
Two outstanding videos in a row, can't get no better than that. 🤘
I like the rawness of this performance!! Awesome, Rock!!! They sounded like AC/DC at the beginning!
There is definitely some
Ac/Dc influence on a couple of songs they recorded that have ac/dc like riffs at the beginning and go into something different that sounds like them . I think it's very cool.
Thank you for what u do fil
No problem Leonard ☺
Styx had brothers on bass and drums, as well. Never occurred to me how that might have helped cement the rhythm section of that band. They started playing together as teens! The story goes that Denis was walking by the house and heard them playing- and was stopped in his tracks. Then had to go in, introduce himself, and ask if they wanted to form a band, lol.
A great rhythm section is so important- it makes everyone sound better.
Great song. Straight up rock n roll. No shredding needed.
Southern rock and roll....modern and supurb
Real Rock isn't dead. It's just back underground. Growing, evolving, doing what it has always done. Fil, I'm definitely checking these guys out. BTW, maybe you could do an analysis of DEVO. Yep, they're still around and doing gigs. One of the most secretly influential bands, ever. There's a lot of live stuff on youtube. Thanks for turning me on to Blackberry Smoke!
Thanks!
LOVE BlackBerry Smoke and LOVE You!
WOW Fil! This group is new to me more to discover!!...Thanks!....✌❤🤘
This was great. May I throw in as a 68 yr old, I really love hearing organ in rock songs. It's rich and warm. My favorite time working at a music shop was when the piano tuner took time out to play some organ drawing my attention to the Leslie speakers spinning slowly, fast or not at all. I'd wondered how the intensity and swells got in there. Thanks for this analysis, Fil: new band to me.
Me too and here ya go, Marcia. Trevor Brooks on B-3 organ. Honey Island Swamp Band. Formed by some of New Orleans best session guys after Katrina's devastation.

Thanks, Ric Heaton!
@@BOOMNERD51 Put on yer dancin' shooze... lol
Like Sam in his barefoot shooze and playin' that tight bass. lol
Ric Heaton And harp reminding me of Delbert McClinton: Thanks for new listening!
@@BOOMNERD51 Love me some Delbert, but harp players? See what you think of this.
Saw these guys every time I could, over the years. (defunct now) Tons of fun prattle between tunes with Caroline Dahl on piano n Rodney Hatfield on Harp, my absolute favorite. (Caroline is my 2nd favorite piano player, Marcia Ball, is my favorite)
The Metropolitan Blues All-Stars
Night Patrol

Blues Harmonica Solo
czcams.com/video/_bbE5DX5Gx8/video.html
They're known as "too rock for country and too country for rock". Check out "Six ways from Sunday"
I love when Fil is so into it.
I agree totally. But I've seen tons of his videos and he's always into it. It such fun to see someone who knows music so well and can appreciate all types of music.
@@tonymoore9842 it is just more obvious sometimes
Thanks for doing your analysis on these guys..I love it
Blackberry Smoke are an amazing band
Just finish watching this one again! their sound and looks. if one did not know better one would think they where from the 1970s.
That is exactly what I thought when I first saw them. Great band!
Yeah!
Not sure of the still do it but all of them had an old style pattern rugs to stand on. They were cool. Charlie Start makes everything look so smooth.
Thanks Fil, this is my first listening to this band and I'm planning to listen to more as soon as I finish this comment and check the 'thumbs up' icon. My first impression is that they don't sound like anyone else and that's a good thing if they have a signature sound that stands out. I 'do' think the singer's voice has kind of a Neil Young quality to it, but it's like hearing NY doing something he's never done and that's a treat.
Cool!
Well after the Stevie Ray thing you got me thinking again about his passing and how great he really was and I light bulb went off. Storyville a piece of your soul album. it's been a long time but that's what I was listening to when I saw your notice. I had to stop and check it out . I love me some Blackberry Smoke they're double live album they put out few years ago was so good I think that's all I played in my car for a couple months. for me southern rock and blues is the best. Thanks again Guitar Man. PS and Black Sabbath
Been banging the Dave Grissom drum, for a while.
And Malford's vocals! Sublime
Storyville - Good Day For The Blues

Cool!
@@richeaton7436 yeah I rambled a little bit just to mention them myself. Good link hopefully we turn some people on
Yes i saw those guys a few years ago in dublin... great gig it was
Love the band & the sound.... crank it loud ! Fil... you've gone-n-done it again 😉 Thank you 😎🎸 (Another lesson in Rock 101 )
Awesome performance! They have a new fan, right here. Thanks Fil, rock on!
Let's face it Fil if your invited on Jools, talent is pretty much always guaranteed. His show is the natural progression from The Old Grey Whistle Test. Back in the day bands loved the presenter's of TOGWT because they championed all styles of music. Jools is the same but plays, so an added dimension to a live show. Shine on Fil.....
Amen!
this band is solid because they are family tight as hell live sell out by themselves constantly good job FIL ALSO LIKED YOUR STUFF GOOD SONGS
Another great analysis Fil. Great band. Your comments about the vocals were spot on, as usual. These guys are one of my friends favorite bands (hi Connie!) and she's seen them many times. I forwarded your video, I'm sure you will now have a new fan. Speaking of great southern rock and vocals have you checked out The Outlaws? Pretty much anything, especially Green Grass and High Tides. Known as the Florida Guitar Army but perfect vocal harmonies as well. Cheers.
Thanks!
tony moore
BLACKBERRY SMOKE!! ❤️
I found them on AXS channel and searched they were performing in 2013 at The Fillmore in San Francisco, CA! Score!!! I have now seen them 5 times. Every time they come to the SF Bay Area. Thanks Tony! Great analysis Fil!! Charlie Starr is a Great Frontman and Lead Guitarist!! He Rocks the Vocals! \m/
Best band out playing today!
Seen BBS a couple of times, great shows. Got a chance to meet them, talk and get my CD signed, really nice guys. The reason I like them is exactly how Fil describes them, combo of southern and other types of rock. One show I saw they did Fairies Wear Boots for the encore.
Cool!
Yeah buddy ! Some good ol' Southern Fried Rock !. Kick ass.
Don't know if you review many Bassist. I hope you can do John Entwistle. My Wife.
Rock on !
Thanks!
Never seen this - used to like the Jules H show - love to see lots of different artists and genres - cheersxxx
👍
Thanks Fil! I found Blackberry Smoke 2 years ago here on CZcams and was completely hooked by the second song I listened to. I've picked up 3 of their albums since!
Incredible live performances are the norm.
Can't figure why they aren't world wide and HUGE!
Cool!
Cool performance by Blackberry Smoke, not herd a lot by them so this was cool. great analysis and break down again. keep up the great work Fil. we love what you are doing!
Here one for You somewhere down the road! (Blue Cheers) out of the San Francisco Bay area known for their cover of (Summertime Blues ~ Eddie Cochran) know as a powerhouse Trio formed in 1967 one of the pioneers of heave metal rock. some great footage out there on CZcams thanks Fil.
Thanks Drew!
Great choice Wings of Pegasus. Blackerry Smoke are OUTSTANDING. Saw them first on "Colbert" in 2017 and then fell upon the BBC featuring them even before that. Wow. Suggestion for an analyses: Arde Rock from Brazil. "Southern" Brazil rock 'n roll with a touch of metal. Nice nice review. Lili in France Oct. 2020 in partial lockdown. Stay safe.
Yeah! this band is great! never heard of them, but they certainly do ROCK! Loved your analysis, Fil, all the variations and comparisons to bands like Lynrd Skynrd were right on the $, you are so in tune with your craft it's amazing, your students must love you! Rock /M\.... You know , the last few videos i have commented on, makes me feel like i'm a judge on The Voice, lol! But not quite....
Haha!
This rocks, they remind me of the black crowes a little bit in their delivery. Thanks for your awesome analysis as usual.
Chris Robinson suggested the bands name and they used it.
I live in the south and they will never lack for an audience
Holy Shit! I love southern rock! How have I managed to miss these guys?
First I've heard of these guys. Pretty good work!
I tend to really like the Allman Brothers Band and Marshall Tucker Band when it comes to Southern Rock. These guys here have a really great sound. 👍👍👍👍
If you haven't hear this version of Ain't much left of me.... It's Amazing..!!!!
czcams.com/video/88lEWTEk3jg/video.html
Great new southern rock at its best! I’ve been following these guys for a while now...a really great band with loads of talent! Love to see them live...Awesome sounding band! Thanks Fil! Cheers Mario!😎🤘🤘
🤘😎
Love Charlie Starr. He just makes it looks so easy and fluid
Spot on bro..... Love me some bbs!!!! Keep spreadin da smoke.
Perfect analysis. Spot on. BBS rocks. Charlie is just a monster!
I discovered this Band quite a while ago, Love them!. Also great acoustically. Charlie Starr & his mate can do a 45 min set and Charlie does everything from Blues, spontaneous humour, through Americana & folk! Will try to send you a link. Oh, did I say I love everything they do .?
I appreciate the solid bass line and rhythm in this song. I just listened to an interview with the bassist, Royal Masat. He says he loves playing bass because it makes music danceable. So true.
👍
Love these guys,up in smoke is a great track!
Love this band!
You have proven to be knowledgeable and well versed on the subjects of which you speak and I now value your opinion on matters where I am weak, not being a musician. Well done piece on BBSmoke, I stumbled up on them a few months ago here on youtube and can't get enough of their music. Charlie Star is a hell of a wordsmith and I see greatness for his talents in the future. Got that off my ouija board.
Thanks Lawrence!
Fil great job. Blackberry Smoke is a Great band.
You make every day SO much more exciting. Always learning something new from the "Fil-Man!"
😂🤘
Great review, thanks! Catching these guys live tonight doing an acoustic show. Very talented group and super tight as a live band. See them in person if you get a chance!
E P I C🔥💥👍 But that 335 tho...😱
Seen them live many times... best live band around these days....by far! Watch the awesome RockPalast show on CZcams!
Awesome😊💿🌷🌹💙❤
Fantastic blues hard rock!! Jools used to be on BBC America over here, now it’s on MTV live network.🤘🏻
Raw live power what is there not to like. If Blackberry Smoke are always like this call me a fan.
Give "Up in smoke" a listen. Studio version.
They are! 12 shows and only seems like they get better and better!
@@ericwhanger5111 True Dat! Every show gets better and better. The NEXT show is always the BEST show! 'Up The Road" , up the road.
Charlie's awesome man! I've been listening t BlackBerry since they started they do some awesome Lynyrd Skynyrd covers as well! Thx Fil!
As the song nears the end it almost sounds like it is ready to speed up and open up an opportunity for faster lead solos. They could certainly add it. Really gifted guys.
they are from my little town in Georgia
Great band!❤
Imagine if you will... 200 - 2,000 BBS Fans all together smiling just like this Reviewer is, through the whole show! That's a BBS Show!
Yeah!
Nice find, Fil. I've not heard of this band before but glad you posted it as I like them a lot. You have such a great ear. Apropos of nothing, the name reminds me of a band called Blackberry Winter that was the only band that came to play in the small town where I'm from (not counting local area bands, of course). One of the first, if not the first concert I ever saw. They were pretty good but never hit it big--maybe because they mostly did covers, I think, but they hold a special place in my memory. A google search shows they have been around since the sixties--"before the Beatles"--but hung it up around 2008. Not to be confused with a folk/bluegrass band of the same name that is still around.
Cool!
Hi Fil. I was thinking this is Southern Rock. You confirmed it for me! *:-)*
I really enjoy your videos....and you are spot on with this review...I love these guys and you described them perfectly!
Excellent I haven't listened to these guys a lot looks like I'm going to have to fix that
Yeah, he's got a really good voice for sure and I like that he has the ability and guts to let his voice ring out. Nice gritty rough rock and boy you nailed it Fil. Bands like this can and do rock it live because that's how rock sounds best.
For an energetic song by a southern rock band with a female slide guitarist see "Raging Slab In Amsterdam '93 Part 5 ("Anywhere But Here")". She played a guitar shaped like a map of the U.S.. Unfortunately she died last year. When I first heard this band I thought they should be a lot better known than they were.
Thanks!
First time I heard Green Day I thought "Now here is a band that understands the value of vocal harmonizing." It made them stand out from the rest.
Paul is the "Michael Anthony" of Southern Rock!
also, can't beat the sound of a cranked orange and a gibson!
👍
First found these guys about a year and a half ago. Good choice Fil.
Love this group!
Good stuff. Had not heard them before.
This is so good!!!!
GREAT BAND!! I discovered them on CZcams last year. Jules Holland is fab also. But you knew that. 😁 Rock on. Emily Liberty.
I’ve heard of them,but not heard the music.They kinda remind me of Lynard Skynerd.
