BBS are just my most favorite band. Ain't gonna stop listening either. I'm in France now; from Oregon by birth. Well, rock on sister, rock on! Hope you've seen BBS in a live concert.

    I'm 75 years old and an old hippy from the 60's and I saw a picture of them on you tube and thought that they were from the 60's. A band that I didn't know about. So I watched them perform a tribute to Dusty Hill. I was blown away. I did not think there was any bands making real music these days, These guys rock. I love it.

If they do meet and greet in '23, try to get tickets for that (money goes to a children's hospital in Atlanta). Rock on Dermot and enjoy the show in Dublin. Lili from France.

Watch the clips and especially in Spain and the UK. But really, the fans know all the words to the sing alongs. The full concert from Paris is online. And yikes if you check their tour schedule in the US, man or man they have fans everywhere. OK, might not often be on prime time TV (Conan/Colbert both had them on - search UA-cam), but they are KNOWN. They've been together for over 20 years!!!! Rock on David, rock on.

    Growing up down south as in down Australia way , we never got to see or hear all that much that wasn’t your mainstream MTV stuff back in the days we finally got pay TV (cable ) down hear in the mid 90’s but even that didn’t give us all these awesome bands and it took UA-cam to discover this absolutely incredible band Blackberry Smoke. It took a Premier Guitar Rig Rundown to find them.
    Now I’ve got their records and watch these great live performances and hope they tour down under as I’ll be there. 🤛👏💯

    I had a firewood business in Marietta Georgia from 2005-2010 that was a side business to my automotive repair shop and Richard Turner was a customer of mine but I had no clue that he was in a rock band at first but should have because he looked like a total rock star ever time I saw him. He gave me a cd one day and said are you into music and I was like hell yeah I am . Well that was my intro to BlackBerry Smoke and I may have had a slow roll into really digging them but man I can't get enough now. I have always been a southern rock fan and am now a total BBS fan.

Signed some CD's I had. We talked a few minutes & he went about his business. Later that night they just lit it up. My 65th B-day present toi myself. Thanks Richard for being kind to an old man.

      +NigelTufnel67 Oh I know how to spell the name correctly and yes, you are right about others mangling the spelling. I worked transportation security on one of Lynyrd Skynyrd's 1977 shows in my hometown of Monroe La. I had Ronnie Van Zant's car and he was the last to leave the Civic Center because he signed autographs at the loading dock to local fans. We rode around and he smoked our good Red Bud and drank some Budweisers. He invited us up to the LZ after party and we got to meet most of the band that night. Most of the band was playing poker when we arrived, so we stuck around talked to Ronnie, said our goodbyes after 30 minutes. One night I will not forget and sadly the plane crash happened later that year.

    if you like southern rock, then you got to luv these guys. they always stuck to their guns by not giving in to producers n changing their image to make the record companies happy. this is why they don't get radio play. they have a huge fan base that did not get over night but instead,, show by show. I go every year to see these guys n they never n I mean never disappoint. not to mention that they are a very humble band. I met them last year n talk about a great group of guys. each one was so pleased to mneat their fans. I cant say enough great things about these guys. if you get a chance, I highly recommend to go see them, you will be hooked. ty BBS for the songs you write. you guys are amazing

I would like to hear more lead stuff from Paul. He is no slouch. Really solid rhythm section with brother bass & drums. To top it off, really tasty keyboards, which fills out the overall sound of the band. They also pull off the country rock vibe when occasion calls for it. I am definitely a fan.
