Product Description
CD Description
Acclaimed producer Dann Huff (Bon Jovi, Keith Urban, Rascal Flatts) was so impressed after seeing Blackberry Smoke live that he agreed to produce Little Piece of Dixie. Huff encouraged the band to bring their road show into the studio using only the gear on their trailer with the exeption of a 12 string acoustic guitar. Little Piece Of Dixie is a fresh yet familiar collection that fuses Blackberry Smoke’s diverse influences with its road-honed musicianship. The band is Charlie Starr vocals, guitar, pedal steel and banjo, Richard Turner bass and vocals, Brit Turner drums, Paul Jackson guitar and vocals The music is already spawning reaction—the hard-driving, layered riffing of “Up In Smoke” popped up in EA Sports’ NASCAR 08, and anthemic first single “Good One Comin’ On” was featured prominently in the Kevin Costner political comedy Swing Vote. Tracks:Good One Comin’ On/Like I Am/Bottom Of This/Up In Smoke/Sactified Woman/Who Invented The Wheel/I’d By Lyin’/Prayer For The Little Man/Restless/Shake Your Magnolia/Freedom Song ADVERTISING IN MOJO, CMP AND MAVERICK

These guys had a couple of mentions in Classic Rock and they read well, they came over really well on you tube and at 2 for £10 for this and "Bad Luck Ain't No Crime" make superb buys.
The music is consistently good across both albums, no filler.
The best Southern Rock I have heard in years, somewhere between Skynyrd and early Black Crowes. Every track opens with a superb guitar lick and off we go on tales of Southern life, girls, booze, road trips, trains and nagging wives, all done without trying depress the hell out of you, good time rock and roll.
Being a bit old school I would have preferred to get the CD but at £53 and £59 each the 2 for £10 downloads won.

Anyone who yearns for that feeling they got when Lynyrd Skynyrd first appeared in the 70's will absolutely love this - a brilliant blend of rock, blues and country styles coupled with that wonderful southern attitude in the lyrics as has been mentioned by other reviewers here, full of tales of cars, girls, road trips, beer and a wistful hankering for things being like they were in the 'old days'.
Comparisons are inevitably drawn to the original Skynyrd, and rightly so, but for me the Smoke have a broader musical palette including shades of the Black Crowes, Outlaws, Wet Willie, even the Allmans and Marshall Tucker Band in places, coupled with the up-to-date production values of bands like Black Stone Cherry, and all driven with strong country-rock undertones.
All this would be useless if the songs weren't up to the mark, but there truly is no filler here. All the tracks, even the more melancholy ones, have a tongue-in-cheek vibe which brings a smile and that good time feeling you should get with this type of music - and as for musicianship, well check out the wonderful guitar work inc. twin lead/harmony breaks in 'Freedom Song' (the nearest they get to a Freebird-type anthem)- marvellous stuff.
I thought the heyday of the southern rock genre had passed, but these guys have renewed my faith - highly recommended.

Blackberry Smoke are the best thing to happen in Southern Rock since Lynyrd Skynyrd burst on the scene in the early 70's.
This album in particular shows the amazing vocal talents and guitar playing of Charlie and the boys.
I would recomend this album to all who have a taste for Southern Rock and i promise you they will soon become your new favourite band.
Blackberry Smoke will rock for years to come, long live Blackberry Smoke.......

A superb CD. Came across it in a recommendation in a magazine, and was just blown away when I heard it ! Very much in the southern rock boogie mould, with excellent guitar and vocals. Play loud with a jd beside you!

I too read about them in Classic Rock and then checked them out on you tube.
Brilliant songs especially 'Prayer for the little man' a tear jerker for anyone who has to work away and doesn't see your kids every night.
The other two albums available to download are also well worth the money if you like southern/country rock.

Saw this as an article in Classic Rock magazine and took a chance. Great album, only wish I had heard of them sooner.
