Blackberry Smoke - The Whippoorwill (2012)

If you haven’t heard of Blackberry Smoke yet, you are really missing out on prime musicianship. The Georgia based band was added to Zac Brown’s Southern Ground Artists label back in 2010, shortly after their second album was released. And it’s not hard to see why Zac Brown wanted them on his label. Just like Zac Brown Band, Blackberry Smoke demonstrates quality craftsmanship on every song from start to finish — from the lyrics to the melody to the production. The group, which has been together for more than a decade, is the epitome of southern rock. Blackberry Smoke’s bio says that they mix “elements of gospel, bluegrass, arena rock, soul, and more than a touch of country.” It’s this mixture of sounds that they effortlessly and flawlessly sew together on their latest thirteen track album, The Whippoorwill.

Si vous n'avez pas encore entendu Blackberry Smoke, vous ratez vraiment le meilleur de la musique. Le groupe basé en Géorgie a été ajouté au label Southern Ground Artists de Zac Brown en 2010, peu après la sortie de leur deuxième album. Et il n'est pas difficile de voir pourquoi Zac Brown les voulait. Tout comme Zac Brown Band, Blackberry Smoke fait preuve d'un savoir-faire de qualité sur chaque chanson du début à la fin - des paroles à la mélodie en passant par la production. Le groupe, qui a été ensemble pendant plus d'une décennie, est la quintessence du rock sudiste. La bio de Blackberry Smoke dit qu'ils mélangent "des éléments de gospel, bluegrass, rock, soul, et plus qu'une touche de country." C'est ce mélange de sons qui fusionnent sans effort sur leur dernier album de treize titres, The Whippoorwill.
