375 E Main St, Tupelo, MS 38804, United States. The sub-Quo thud of Rock and Roll Again aside, this is an eminently likable upholding of 40-year-old principles. Blackberry Smoke setlist at BancorpSouth Arena in Tupelo, United States on Date Venue BancorpSouth Arena Address. It ain’t broke, you can almost hear the Atlanta quintet muttering, so no repairs are required, and the likes of Woman in the Moon and Payback’s a Bitch are so vital and punchy that you may be inclined to agree.
Holding All the Roses is honest in its intent, too – these are well crafted but unfussily executed anthems and ballads that nod respectfully towards the glory days of Little Feat and Foghat.

The record will be the follow-up to Blackberry Smokes live album/DVD set, Leave A Scar Live In North Carolina and studio album The Whippoorwill, both of which were released in the UK this year. Its easily the worst of the 4 live sets I have by Blackberry Smoke, Peach Festival being the best. The Brendan OBrien produced Holding All The Roses will be released on February 9th 2015 through Earache Records. In their defence, Blackberry Smoke are the pick of the nostalgic bunch, with an infectous joie-de-vivre and effortless authenticity that marks them out as rightful heirs to the Black Crowes’ recently vacated throne. Holding All The Roses Explicit Blackberry Smoke. T he ongoing explosion of bands that proclaim their adherence to the values of so-called classic rock may occasionally feel like little more than a wholesale surrender to creative laziness, but the huge popularity of Blackberry Smoke and their numerous peers suggests that there is a large audience out there with no enthusiasm for progress or even subtle tinkering. Atlanta rockers BLACKBERRY SMOKE are back with another album Like An Arrow, a follow on from their hugely successful 2015 record Holding All The Roses, with more country rock complete with guitars and a strong South American accent.
