However my question was answered when I found out the album was completed in only eleven days.
I saw them play Glasgow twice last year and my news feed seems to be filled every day with photos of them on stage in front of yet another sell out crowd somewhere in the world. I actually couldn’t figure out where they found the time to make a new album, as they seem to tour constantly. Singer Charlie Starr, guitarist Paul Jackson, keyboard player Brandon Still and brothers Brit and Richard Turner on drums and bass respectively are going from strength to strength. It’s an appropriate name for this, Blackberry Smoke’s fourth studio album, as this band is fast becoming the one everyone else in the Southern Rock genre is chasing. Then there’s certifiably funky R&B on “Believe You Me.Reviews Holding all the Roses by on all the Roses is an American term meaning you’re the winner. Among the album’s 13 tracks, the group rocks arguably harder than it ever has on the opening track, “Waiting for the Thunder,” and it relies on some country-style storytelling on the reflective Southern rocker “The Good Life” (complete with a scorching Skynyrd-meets-Marshall-Tucker-Band-esque guitar solo).
They had planned on tapping O’Brien again or hiring another producer, but recording the songs went so well that Starr and company produced the album themselves and released it independently on its own label, 3 Legged Records.Īs in every Blackberry Smoke album, the the band is willing to go in various directions under the country-rock umbrella. After working with acclaimed producer Brendan O’Brien (Bruce Springsteen, Pearl Jam, AC/DC) on “Holding All The Roses,” Starr said, he wanted to get into the studio as soon as possible after he wrote a batch of new tunes and had leading some promising band rehearsals. If Blackberry Smoke’s sound represents how the five musicians play together, “Like an Arrow” shows what it sounds like when the band fully and independently executes its creative vision. This is what it sounds like when we play music together.” “We never really called it anything when we started the band. whatever you want to call us,’” Starr said. At the end of the day, we’re just like, ‘OK. “Now, more people will call us a country band than a rock ’n’ roll band.
