#Blackberry smoke holding all the roses t shirt full#
The audience certainly had their hands full with the sweltering dual guitar chops from Charlie Starr and Paul Jackson, coupled with a vocal-layered chorus that soared like a bottle rocket on the Fourth of July. The band lit the fuse for the evening at The Fillmore in Silver Spring, MD with the snarly “Fire In The Hole” off of 2015’s Holding All The Roses: “Show me something real, let me hold it in the palm of my hand”. After this show, however, you will want to hop behind the wheel of a ‘69 Camaro and rip it down Highway I-85 while blasting some of their deep-fried tunage till the speakers blow out. That is not to discount the achievements of their studio releases, which have all been impressive and each an improvement upon the last. To fully appreciate the allure and dexterity of this band, you need to see these road warriors live. I reckon we need to Make America Rock Again, what ya think? Coming fresh off of a run of shows with Gov’t Mule ( which include a few more dates in late September), Atlanta’s own Blackberry Smoke is the kick in the ass that American rock music needs right now. This is the full serving of Dixie-dosed vittles that you should expect when you catch Blackberry Smoke on tour.
With sides of collard greens and gravy, of course. Now, imagine the ultimate, home-cooked Southern Rock casserole: part Lynyrd Skynyrd, part Allman Brothers, part Hank Williams Jr. In my humble yet Georgia-raised opinion, a true ‘Southern Rock’ band combines the distorted, Delta blues boogie coming out of the Bible Belt in the Seventies with some of the twanginess and accessible lyrical themes of country music.
