Blackberry Smoke - Whippoorwill

NEW VINYL LP ON SOUTHERN GROUND 2015

180 GRAM VINYL

There’s a new game in town. Blackberry Smoke have been peddling their gospel-tinged, blues-edged country-rock for nigh on a decade now, and are pushing towards the UK mainstream with their first ‘proper’ European-release LP, The Whippoorwill.
Emotionally the album steers perfectly between euphoria and melancholia, straight from how rollicking opener ‘Six Ways To Sunday’ rolls into heavily Earle-influenced ode to old love revisited ‘Pretty Little Lie’. Over it’s 54-minute runtime ‘The Whippoorwill’ careers between classic American rock styles: the title track’s Black Crowes-esque balladry; the down-home slide guitar of ‘Ain’t Got The Blues'; ‘Leave A Scar”s banjo-infused roadhouse hellraising feel, before wrapping it up as piano-led closer ‘Up The Road’ builds up to a stirring gospel climax.
