Description

2018 press on purple vinyl with gatefold cover and 3 bonus tracks

The authentic sound of southern rock / outlaw country! The break-through album, The Whippoorwill, by Atlanta’s Blackberry Smoke, is finally getting an European release. Complete with 3 previously unavailable bonus tracks, this honest, heartfelt, whiskey-soaked rock n roll album has been rightly hailed as the best thing since the heyday of Lynyrd Skynyrd, Molly Hatchet, and 38 Special. Whilst many bands are content with merely mimicking their heroes, don’t expect to hear the same worn out clichés in their songs that every other band with country, pop or rock leanings have already espoused. Blackberry Smoke has earned a passionate fanbase that continues to grow as the band itself evolves. By mixing gospel, bluegrass, arena rock, soul and a heavy touch of outlaw country, with a unique and refreshing lyrical approach, the band have delivered an album with such musical variation that it ensures any attempt to pigeon-hole the band is well wide of the mark.

Blackberry Smoke reclaim southern rock for the south. The Georgia quintet is the right mix of long hair, short fuse, gritty realism and country charm. – Washington Post
