About this episode
Today’s guest is deserving of all their flowers– maybe that’s why they were left holding all the roses. We chat with Charlie Starr of Atlanta-based country-rockers Blackberry Smoke on Season 02, Episode 35 of “ Load-In Through the Back !” Since forming in 2000, Blackberry Smoke have earned a reputation as one of the hardest working acts in the country with their relentless touring schedule and self-made hits. Their fourth album, “ Holding All The Roses ” is the first independently released album to hit Number 1 on the Billboard Country Album chart. Charlie joins us to discuss life on the road, his custom series Les Paul guitar, jamming with Metallica , the importance of collaboration, genuineness, and much more. Blackberry Smoke is on tour all summer alongside Mike Campbell and the Dirty Knobs . For dates and more information visit blackberrysmoke.com and follow @BlackberrySmoke on social media.
