Hey Johnny me too , is 57 an age or a variety on a Baked Bean can? Still riding my motorcycle and hating every car driver on the road! Grow up- never ! As long as the music's good and theres gas in the Bike!
Charlie Starr is one of the best southern rock guitar players in the world. Absolutely amazing. These guys are the real deal. Just bare necked "We Love Our Jobs"
Yeah then I turned 60 a little while ago! Darn. Btw love those flares the singer is wearing, haven't worn a pair since about '85. Where do they sell them?
Man, I've been diggin' these dudes for a while, and when I read this comment, I couldn't see the Headhunters comparison , and then they stepped back, and kicked it right on into Kentucky...
I'm a hard rock; classical; jazz; heavy metal fan and Hell, even people with my tastes have to recognize that bands like BlackBerry Smoke are very important I hope they last for hundreds of years
I'm not a southerner or am i white. Instead I'm Native American and from Az. I grew up listening to southern rock back in the 70s as my older cousins did. I can absolutely appreciate these boys and their music.
The first time i saw these dudes i knew they were going to make it. These guys are the shit Now they are for real, thanks for bringing back Southern Rock 💚🍀✌
Eric Young I was there. What a show it was! Be sure to catch them at The Shed for the real experience. This was great but The Shed is a whole different experience entirely.
I had the great pleasure of meeting and hanging out with these guys for a couple years back in 2006 and they kicked ass then and still kicking ass today! Keep on rocking guys! Can't wait to see you in Columbus Ohio in April 2022!
I have loved Southern Fried rock from the 70s ( Lynard Skynard, Molly Hatcher,Blackfoot,the outlaws ,TheAllman brothers, Marshal Tucker;,Charly Daniels ,Elvin Bishop, The black crows, ZZTop, etc) all my life. These folks have brought the sound back and sound amazing! Pray they bring more of that music with other bands in the future!!!
Don’t forget about Jimmy Hall and Wet Willie. Jimmy recently toured with Jeff Beck. He still sounds great and if you make it to Nashville there’s a decent chance you can see him.
Wow, these guys are good. I'm a 72 year old rock and roll fan and this band could easily have been big back in the 60's-70's. Oh, and I learned of them from Rock Hard Riffs.
I'm a die hard metal fan, all kinds or metal, but I grew up with good ol country and I fuckin love these guys. Like my dad listened to with a perfect twist. These guys and red fang I find closely comparable
Saw these good aul boys in Belfast last week. Utterly phenomenal! Their live versions are better than their studio record. So so so so impressed with these guys they deserve way way more play #texasbaby
You've brought new life to the whole genre that the World needs to hear at a deafening level that will be heard around the World in 80 days, keep going until Your horses can't go any further then hop on that train and keep on rolling down the tracks!
Blackberry Smoke combines all my favorites....Skynyrd...electric...a little country...badass distortion.....drawl...God I love it...my music buddies in Texas will love it and at the same time hate me because they are not from Texas
Saw them at the Hollywood bowl opening for Zac Brown band back in 2010 and have seen them multiple times in concert. They kick ass. Even when a fight broke out right in front of them at the house of blue in Anaheim. That was a crazy one. 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Kind of takes me back .... to those days .... when Country Joe, the Dead, Quicksilver, the Airplane, Steve Miller, Moby Grape, Paul Butterfield, might all be showing up at the same scene; ... there were no "niches" in the music back then.
Hey I'm fitting to turn 57 in October . Same feeling . I'm a Elvis fan and he opened my eyes to music most wouldn't listen to so for that I appreciate the fact they called him the king . He dropped kicked doors for bands like this ....
was always a fan of the "pickin" albums where they'd take say the Beatles but, with bluegrass. This is the reverse and it works. Love it guys. Keep it up
I’ve watched this a hundred times if I’ve watched it once. You can almost feel the amps moving the air off the stage when Charlie turns his volume knob up.
My cousin just turned me into this band, just mentioning them in conversation, this is the third track I've listened to already in lurrrvvvv with them there really cool, CD on order ☺.
need VOICE!! THE VERY BEST part of the movie "O Brother Where Art Thou?" was this song, and the singer's hicky-fied VOICE! It never fails to bring joy!
Having played bluegrass for years, and seen all kind of wannabe rock and roll treatments of Beatles, Everly Bros, Eagles, etc, from that crowd, it sure is a kick to see some kickass rockers getting their ‘grass on. What a find!!!
drewby613 check out steve earle lately ? He often mixes bluegrass, rock, sometimes sounds like Hillbilly Punk. Unless he’s sole Steve most always has great pedal steel and fiddle. 90 percent orig music, do a fantastic cover of Dylan’s “It takes a lot to laugh, it takes a train to cry.” I don’t want to hijack ‘smokes thread here so Back to Berries
I'm an Old Hippie - I'm 68 - and feel like 30... and I love Southern Rock! Allman Brothers, Lynyrd Skynyrd and theese rockers! Went to Berlin last summer to see LySky on their Farewell Tour and theese guys were the starting act... Oops, never heard of them! Well, keep on rocking. Love you guys!
If that drummer ever departs the band, I want first crack at the gig. I enjoy watching and listening to him, he rally reminds me of Bonham in his posture and the way he hits, but hey, if something goes sour, I think this gig is taylor made for me. I feel it in my bones.OoOoOooOO!
Updated version for sure!! My favorite is by The Dillards I think from their Roots and Branches album nearly 50 years ago now. Still, I enjoyed this one too....good job fellas!!! Steve, Wasilla, AK
Yes! Honestly - As a huge Skynyrd fan I have been searching for "years" - These boys are the first band to give me the feel of Skynyrd "without being a Skynyrd cover band. Yeah!!!! I love this!
Did I leave a comment yet? If yes, heres another, watching this for the second time leaves me in awe, these guys got serious music skills and all the Southern rock bands before them would be proud of the way BS is keeping the flame alive and ..well...roaring!
Mannnnn....yall just got a new Fan ....love the style...had me flashing back to the 60s and 70s .. had my hair back down to my shoulders....till Uncle Sam got me ...
Just discovered these guys on RUclips this past summer. Then I found out they were scheduled to play in my home town, Montreal last March 11th 2020. The same day Montreal went on lockdown for Covid. Not sure if that show took place. I hate the thoughts of bands like this playing live shows in my city and not even knowing about them. They would have to carry me out after a show like this. I would DIE to see this live in a small club or venue.
Blackberry Smoke is the best thing that happened to music since Led Zepplin (🤫🤫🤫 I like these guys better). I'm fighting leukemia but hope to see these guys before I lose the battle. BBS is religion man....
I am seriously praying for you Erik. I agree with you 100% I only discovered this band a few months ago because I was looking up this song. So glad for RUclips (for once) I was fortunate enough to see them in Houston last month. My favorite band now. I hope you get to see them, if not... you will hear them up there brother.
he makes some good noise with that Melody Maker, had one like it back in 1960 (my first electric) wish I still had it. and the infamous upside down strat (gibson Thunderbird)
Sturgis...2006...Full Throttle Saloon..where I first heard Blackberry Smoke and this is to this day one of my favorite versions of this song! Met them hungout great guys!! My advice listen to more Blackberry Smoke!!
Hey, I'm 57 this year and these guys make me feel like I'm 17 and listening to 'skynrd. Thanks for putting the southern back into rock.
Hey Johnny me too , is 57 an age or a variety on a Baked Bean can?
Still riding my motorcycle and hating every car driver on the road!
Grow up- never ! As long as the music's good and theres gas in the
Bike!
I hear ya Johnny Smith! I just rolled into 59!
Makes me wanna jump up and dance on the bar!
Guess I should say it MADE me !
Love them
With you all the way Johnny. 62 (going on 21) tomorrow and loving life now more than I did way back when...From a Scotsman in England
Me too 😊👍 these guys are cool , tripped over them on RUclips the other night
I'm 57 this year as well and agree they make me feel like 17 again when I listen to them! I haven't heard a bad tune from them yet!
I have found Blackberry Smoke. I am happy now.
Check out Matt O'Ree also
two rising stars I hope
Colette McKinney blackberry smoke and pot jelly on toast with every thing .shaken not stirred
I feel the same way.
I feel the same too 😁
I 'found' them a few years ago myself and haven't turned back. A well- known secret.
These cats got somethin’ magical goin’ on. This rendition is brilliant. Better then any other version I’ve ever heard . Right on.
I absolutely LOVE this group. I’m hooked. Can’t get enough. Just good ole southern rock n bluegrass. Kind of the laid back Skynyrd feel.
Thow a little Georgia Satellites in there too!
I’ve seen them three times and talked with them. Awesome guys and one hell of a band
Charlie Starr is one of the best southern rock guitar players in the world. Absolutely amazing. These guys are the real deal. Just bare necked "We Love Our Jobs"
I love my age, us people in our 50's know what great music is all about
Ya know we'll be saying that in the future about the stuff you think is garbage to your great grandkids and then they'll do the same, so on so forth
Yeah then I turned 60 a little while ago! Darn. Btw love those flares the singer is wearing, haven't worn a pair since about '85. Where do they sell them?
Ass kicking rock still lives!!!!!!! And so do I at 76!
Proud to see how big this band has become. Southern rock lives!
Hey y'all! This is white boy Rick saying that Charlie and the boys are truly the coolest bros on the scene and we love them in New Hampshire
These guys are the real deal. Charlie Starr’s licks are as smooth as water pouring from a pitcher. Just good stankin’ nasty blues. Fantastic.
I'm 59 and have worked for these guys a couple of times at the Buffalo Chip, I'm Bicycle Bob and I approved this message.
These guys make me feel like a long haired 70’s teen again! Thanks guys.
They remind me of the Kentucky Headhunters with Black Oak Arkansas tossed in for good measure. Love it!
Man, I've been diggin' these dudes for a while, and when I read this comment, I couldn't see the Headhunters comparison , and then they stepped back, and kicked it right on into Kentucky...
They are far better then either of those 2 groups.
I'm a hard rock; classical; jazz; heavy metal fan and Hell, even people with my tastes have to recognize that bands like BlackBerry Smoke are very important
I hope they last for hundreds of years
As long as there are folks like us with ears for great music they will be around long after I've kicked off my clogs.
This group puts the FINE in WINE! A toast to a bunch of incredibly talented individuals. Thanks for the years of Great music
I'm not a southerner or am i white. Instead I'm Native American and from Az. I grew up listening to southern rock back in the 70s as my older cousins did. I can absolutely appreciate these boys and their music.
And that's triple for me this old Southern boy ! 👍👍👍👍
The first time i saw these dudes i knew they were going to make it. These guys are the shit Now they are for real, thanks for bringing back Southern Rock 💚🍀✌
56 and proud owner of two Les Pauls. You guys are legit. Long live Southern Rock!
Holy shit. So glad I found this band. Love the look and the sound. Kickass!
Eric Young I was there. What a show it was! Be sure to catch them at The Shed for the real experience. This was great but The Shed is a whole different experience entirely.
Pure talent! Bottom line! BBS rocks ! Thank you all for keeping Southern Rock and roll alive.
Can't get enough of this band!
I had the great pleasure of meeting and hanging out with these guys for a couple years back in 2006 and they kicked ass then and still kicking ass today! Keep on rocking guys! Can't wait to see you in Columbus Ohio in April 2022!

Don Lirette , I hear you man. That’s just what I was thinking.
Don’t forget about Jimmy Hall and Wet Willie. Jimmy recently toured with Jeff Beck. He still sounds great and if you make it to Nashville there’s a decent chance you can see him.
Charlie Starr & BBS are National Treasures...listening/watching EVERY SONG is a “WOW” experience....❤️💥❤️

Wow, these guys are good. I'm a 72 year old rock and roll fan and this band could easily have been big back in the 60's-70's. Oh, and I learned of them from Rock Hard Riffs.
I'm a die hard metal fan, all kinds or metal, but I grew up with good ol country and I fuckin love these guys. Like my dad listened to with a perfect twist. These guys and red fang I find closely comparable

At times it sounds like Johnny B. Goode. (5:30 mark +)
The most under rated band in the world keep on rocking.

Black Berry Smoke is the best band around now!! The BEST!!!!!
Saw these good aul boys in Belfast last week. Utterly phenomenal! Their live versions are better than their studio record. So so so so impressed with these guys they deserve way way more play #texasbaby
You've brought new life to the whole genre that the World needs to hear at a deafening level that will be heard around the World in 80 days, keep going until Your horses can't go any further then hop on that train and keep on rolling down the tracks!
I preach BBS to all of my rock loving friends and when they finally break down and listen..i hear MAN THESE GUYS ARE AWESOME!

Thank you Lord for Blackberry Smoke. Southern style rock and blues that truly saved my life. Thanks boys for doing it true!!
Thankfully, a southern rock band when most of the old ones are long gone!
Saw them live and it fuckin changed my whole perspective of live music... They put on a show for the fans and fuck all else.
Soon to be 56 and seeing B.S. on October 26!
Southern rock is back with these boys. Saw them 3 times so far and they do not disappoint.
love the nod to Seger/Chuck Berry in there. these boys are the bees knees
Charlie gots a awesome Bluegrass voice..would love to hear more.
I never thought I'd like any other version of this than Ralph Stanley's... but damn.
That was pretty damn impressive.
Kelsie LeCrone What about Alison Krauss and Union Station??
Ralph Stanley is from and lived in my area.
Great humbled and talented man.
You one sexy girl, would love to see,ya,shake it,while I play my harp😎🇺🇸💘
Don't forget Jerry Garcia's version!
Blackberry Smoke combines all my favorites....Skynyrd...electric...a little country...badass distortion.....drawl...God I love it...my music buddies in Texas will love it and at the same time hate me because they are not from Texas
John Ozelius c
I love the fact these guys are booked for heavy metal festivals.. Crank it up!
Hell yeah these boys got it going on! When you can lead in with bluegrass throw in rock and pull it off like this, you got the stuff!
Saw them at the Hollywood bowl opening for Zac Brown band back in 2010 and have seen them multiple times in concert. They kick ass. Even when a fight broke out right in front of them at the house of blue in Anaheim. That was a crazy one. 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Hey I'm 55 and when it comes to SMOKE ! They don't get no cooler than that ! Love them SMOKE Boys .
The greatest American rock band ever that specializes in bad ass country music!!!
Kind of takes me back .... to those days .... when Country Joe, the Dead, Quicksilver, the Airplane, Steve Miller, Moby Grape, Paul Butterfield, might all be showing up at the same scene; ... there were no "niches" in the music back then.

Yes! This makes me feel like sipping on some good BlackBerry 'shine.
I haven't had a good drink in 5 yrs.
You know the original song was awesome. I always wondered when someone was gonna take it up a notch. Killer job!
These guys just make me smile, they can rock out with the best.
Always wanted to hear this bit "Chuck Berry-ed", right on Blackberrys!
Did I leave a comment yet? If yes, heres another, watching this for the second time leaves me in awe, these guys got serious music skills and all the Southern rock bands before them would be proud of the way BS is keeping the flame alive and ..well...roaring!
Haha, yeah I've done that a few times! These boys are the best SR band since Blackfoot in the 80s which I loved to death!
Mannnnn....yall just got a new Fan ....love the style...had me flashing back to the 60s and 70s .. had my hair back down to my shoulders....till Uncle Sam got me ...
Saw them at the Ryman in Nashvegas a couple of years ago Charlie Starr could sing the phone book and it would sound good.
Just discovered these guys on RUclips this past summer. Then I found out they were scheduled to play in my home town, Montreal last March 11th 2020. The same day Montreal went on lockdown for Covid.
