Blackberry Smoke are one of the best live bands on the planet this day and age. There are no bells and whistles, fancy laser lights, deejay booths, girls in cages or giant backing screens. Instead, there is a band who love to jam out guitar solos, put on a show and give 110% of what they have every night on stage.

The band is a mix of Hank, Willie and Merle, the Allman Brothers, ZZ Top, Lynyrd Skynrd and Wet Willie with a touch of Aerosmith for good measure. Oh, did I mention the balls out guitar jams?

Like Donny and Marie, Blackberry Smoke is a little bit country and a little bit rock n’ roll, unlike the Mormon siblings, however, Blackberry Smoke is not afraid to talk about fingerfucking a girl while skinny dippy, partying down or having a good time. These boys live on the bus and live to play music. This DVD is testament that the spirit of Southern Rock is alive and well and people are starting to take notice.

The band is great because they play awesome songs. From “Like I Am” to “Good One Coming On” to “Sleeping Dogs" this band deliver the goods. They pay plenty of homage to those who came before them on the DVD as “Sleeping Dogs” features snippets of “Midnight Rider” and “I Know You Rider.” The band play “Yesterday’s Wine” by Willie Nelson and even trot out some classic Merle Haggard before the night is over.

Blackberry Smoke are a true rock band, with country flavoring. They can go from a flat out ballsy rocker to a country ballad in a heartbeat and the crowd takes it all in, grateful that there is still someone out there who gives more of a shit about music than they do about fortune and fame.

Bottom line: Buy this DVD and play it for everyone you know.
