BLACKBERRY SMOKE

"Blackberry Smoke may be too young to remember firsthand the visceral bite of early Lynyrd Skynyrd, the moody excellence of the Marshall Tucker Band and the gritty Blues of the first three ZZ Top albums, but they do a pretty decent job of channeling the era without slipping into faceless arena Country Pop that shares little with Southern Rock outside of a decibel level.
If you’ve been missing what us old hippies remember as Southern Rock, tip a Shiner, pack a bowl and take a good long hit of Blackberry Smoke. Ya’ll." - City Beat / Cincinnati

"Back in my high school days listening to Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Outlaws, Molly Hatchett and others was the time to light the bone and sit back and hear some amazing southern rock riffs. I mean how classic was “Green Grass and High Tides” by The Outlaws, with that killer solo, and “Sweet Home Alabama” by Skynyrd? Those days are gone but never forgotten but the torch could be reinstated by Blackberry smoke." - Rock Eyez

"Four stars" - Country Weekly
