Like the perfect pair of broken-in jeans, Blackberry Smoke's soulful blend of Southern-fried guitar riffs, and big 'n' bouncy rhythms, is a comfortable old friend. Their sound isn't flashy or trendy, but you know the fit is just right when the deliciously lustful rocker "Six Ways to Sunday" hits at full blast. But the boys can play it sensitive, too: "Up the Road" starts off with just a piano and Charlie Starr's stirring vocals, before slowly building into a stunning slice of old-school soul. Other highlights include "Ain't Got the Blues," "Everybody Knows She's Mine" and "Lucky Seven."
Rhapsody Radar: Blackberry Smoke
Welcome to another addition of Rhapsody Radar, our annual survey of up-and-coming artists we love. Today we've got an exclusive video interview with Southern rockers Blackberry Smoke, with the questions handled by none other than Zac Brown Band star Clay Cook. First of all, this is the most impressive display of facial hair ever collected in one room; secondly, it's a lively chat, ranging from the perils of life on the road ("Everybody gets gas") to everyone's favorite weapon (light sabers, fists, shotguns, grenade launchers, etc.). Enjoy.
