Blackberry Smoke
Georgia's keepers of the Southern-rock flame — Skynyrd swagger with songwriter substance.
Blackberry Smoke formed in Atlanta in 2000, led by singer and guitarist Charlie Starr. The band works in a Southern rock tradition, mixing electric guitar interplay with country and blues phrasing and a strong emphasis on songwriting and harmony vocals.
They built an audience largely through steady touring rather than radio, and have released a long run of albums that draw comparisons to the Allman Brothers Band and Lynyrd Skynyrd while keeping room for quieter, more acoustic material. Live, the group is known for extended sets and a loose, jam-friendly approach to its catalogue.
