      They’re a much better live act. Why they aren’t bigger is a mystery to me. Amazing band! Homage to the Dead for that song. Fantastic!

      They are all great in their own right . I really like the bluegrass Billy puts out and Blackberry smoke always at the top .
      Of my southern rock list but I think they both get a lot of recognition in the Biz and with fans .
      If y'all haven't heard Billy pick some bluegrass should check em out .

      Its the old addage of less is more sometimes... really have been enjoying watching artists do that; not pushing look at me solo here. but rather like you said, being supportive, here take it, okay, now your turn... truly an art to that with numerous guitarists, fun to watch that sort of back n forth or supporting each other... especially with talent like this who could all likely take that lead spot and run with it throughout the whole song, but the sharing is brilliant.

    Few yrs ago Blackberry kicked off their tour as so many do, here in St. Louis, Mo with Lukas Nelson and the Promise of the Real over at the Pageant Theatre. Man when I tell you about getting your $$ hard earned moneys worth in a show, feel like family, and not a bad vibe in the house... I'm speaking of Blackberry Smoke, and only them. (ABSOLUTELY NO SHADE THROWN AT LUKAS, as that was one hell of a barrel roll stage entry and performance that followed) What a night that was.. Guys, if you happen to read this, thank you from all of my heart for that night, it was much, much needed. I feel like I need to pay for the performance I just watched.... lmao!
    Much love and thanks, Eric.

    This is an absolute master class in how to play as a band. Benji has just as much talent as Charlie, Billy, and Paul, but he hangs back and compliments everyone else for the sake of the song. Musicians, listen to it a few times and pay attention to a different instrument each time. Every single one of them are elite in their own right, but contribute equally to make a work of art. Being this talented in your respective role is impressive, but being able to blend your expertise with this many musicians at once is just incredible.
