“Blackberry Smoke’s electrifying amalgam of country, blues, roots, soul and classic rock is garnering big audiences across a wide spectrum of genres. And what’s more, they’re doing it with a sound that boasts some of the most hot-shit, high-wire guitar shredding around.”</div>

“…reveals a band that sounds ever more like itself: proud torchbearers of<br />
a Southern rock tradition, certainly, but a folk/rock/gospel/blues/country-driven original fivesome that can write both tender and party-ready, with at-times-unpredictable flavors.”</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">Of the album, Starr comments, “The new album is a melting pot of <a title="Blackberry Smoke" href="https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/1224809/264167/4272?subId1=WPScmnbBBSmoke&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fblackberry-smoke-tickets%2Fartist%2F1043636&partnerpropertyid=5213910&MediaPartnerPropertyId=5213910">Blackberry Smoke</a> music with a wide range of sound and emotion. I think it’s our most inspired work yet.”</div>

Released to widespread praise, the <em>Boston Globe</em> declared, “…the needle can be dropped on <em>Like an Arrow</em> until its grooves become as well-worn as the classic albums that inspired this band of country-rock workhorses,” while<em>American Songwriter </em>asserted, “…<a title="Blackberry Smoke" href="https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/1224809/264167/4272?subId1=WPScmnbBBSmoke&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fblackberry-smoke-tickets%2Fartist%2F1043636&partnerpropertyid=5213910&MediaPartnerPropertyId=5213910">Blackberry Smoke</a> fills the bill for the next generation of gutsy, heartfelt and honest Southeast rocking with plenty of talent, tons of drive and no apologies.” In August 2017, they made their debut on CBS’ “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.”</div>
