• 4:16
  Speaker 5: Damn.
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: And I love the Black Crows.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: Too, And I've seen them one hundred and fifty now

• 4:43
  Speaker 8: How cool is that?
• 4:44
  Speaker 6: That?
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: Saw?
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: Chris Robinson Brotherhood's pretty good. I've seen them a bunch
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: of times.
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it's too bad they don't get along.
• 4:51
  Speaker 8: Yeah, they hate each other.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: Well, look, the Kings are going to get back together
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: after fifty years of fighting, so you know, maybe this hope.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: For the black for them at that it's pathetic.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: Well, I think Rich Robinson is the problem. I think
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: he's wound too tight.
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: And I've talked to both of those guys and they're
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: both really cool. But I think Chris is too mellow and.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: Riches Chris is a prophet this, This is no doubt
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: about it. Chris just sees things on a whole other level.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: He he does.
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: And then Rich is just you know, he's wound.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: Too tights the business guy.
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: But that's why that band worked.
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you had the free spirit and then you had
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: Rich probably taking a little more serious than Chris did.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: Seeing Gorman did it right, moved to Nashville, does sports
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: radio and drums a little bit. Yeah.
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, j Moore try to turn me out to Yeah,
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: he he hooked us both up, but it just never
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: worked out.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: But I like Steve as well.
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah, all right, where are we doing this on the stage?
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: No stage's too loud on there in the dressing room,
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: in their dressing room. So we got the whole band
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: to whoever you want still coming. Well, I mean, getting
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: back to your point. That's why I like about these guys.
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: They're really really down to earth.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: Very accessible and it's just good. It's just good music.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: There's the other way to it's a lot of singalong songs.
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: So yeah, but I don't think they like the label
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: that they're the new kings of Southern rock.
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: I don't like that, man, because they're they're bigger than
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: just being pushed into one genre.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: Like oh sure, yeah, although you know they saw them
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: in a country bar. That's where I saw sure.
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: But they also got some blues to them, some pop, so.
• 6:20
  Speaker 11: I don't know.
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: Dare I say a little metal at times? A little
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: bit yeah.
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: Little disco vibe, believe you me from the last album,
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: So I mean they're always mixing up.
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: That's where I like the bottom two. They didn't settle
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: into just yeah of course.
• 6:36

• 16:22

  Speaker 5: The whole band.
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: I got BlackBerry smoke pretty much behind the stage up
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: the rickety stairs. So, uh hey, guys, thanks so much
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: for doing my podcast. I really appreciate Charlie and the
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: and the rest, Britt Brandon, who else you? Who else
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: we got with Richard and Paul chopped Lever. First of all,
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: I got to start by saying, fine the light the
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: new album. I wore it out already. This this album
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: is so good. There's so many sing alongs in this
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: uh in this record, man, Thank you very much, and
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: knowing I appreciate about you guys right off the bat
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: that you change your sound from album to album. It's
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: pretty obvious to me you could have like settled out
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: a sound and said this is what we're gonna be now,
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: and instead you're like, no, man, let's continue to experiment
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: and change it up a little bit.
• 17:07
  Speaker 9: You know, we'll leave that to Nickelback.
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: Sorry, Well, you're always trying to well, but there are
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: bands they find a sound and it's they find a
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: little success with that and then they're like, all right,
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: this is what we're gonna do for the next twenty years,
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: and you guys are.
• 17:23
  Speaker 9: Formula rather upset our core audience, you know. And the
• 17:27
  Speaker 9: only band that I can think of that has well
• 17:31
  Speaker 9: maybe two that have completely done that and they're still
• 17:34
  Speaker 9: they're not laughable or make fun of able as a
• 17:38
  Speaker 9: CDC and Motorhead.
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: Oh well, there you go. But it works for those guys. Yeah,
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: no complaints there. But led Zeppelin, well they changed it
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: up a little bit, don't you think they were all like, yeah,
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: they were all over the place.
• 17:49
  Speaker 23: I thought I thought that we were back at the
• 17:51
  Speaker 23: people that change every record.
• 17:54
  Speaker 9: You lost it already lost it, well changed for the podcast.
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: I thought it was over.
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: And the other thing I was reading up on you
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: guys a little bit because it's been a bit since
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: I've seen you, and was a rolling stone that labeled
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: you guys the new.
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: Kings of Southern rock. Oh you guys did that?
• 18:16
  Speaker 9: I think that that gets thrown around a lot. Yeah,
• 18:19
  Speaker 9: you know, and you know, we never set out to
• 18:22
  Speaker 9: be that. So it's or carry a torch if you will,
• 18:26
  Speaker 9: a lot of people say that, But I mean we
• 18:28
  Speaker 9: simply just were five guys making music, right. It just
• 18:32
  Speaker 9: sounds the way it sounds.
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: Well, the reason I brought that up is I thought
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: that wasn't fair either. See, I'm your biggest defender out there,
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: because I don't think you could put BlackBerry Smoke into
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: one into one genre like that, you know.
• 18:44
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean people will say that, they will say
• 18:47
  Speaker 9: next Leonard Skynyrd or next saying next anything is that's
• 18:51
  Speaker 9: not good.
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: No, I don't think.
• 18:53
  Speaker 9: Well, we're in this to be to be ourselves, right,
• 18:57
  Speaker 9: not the next anybody.
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: Well, you hear the influences.
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: You hear Leonard Skinner and your music a little bit
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: of course, and the Almond Brothers and the band, and
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: we could go on and on. But then, you know,
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: true artists like yourselves, you take your influences and then
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: you make you make your own thing. Yeah, and that's
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: what I hear when I listened to BlackBerry Smokes.
• 19:14
  Speaker 9: Yeah, and you know that's what they did. Like if
• 19:16
  Speaker 9: you talk to Gary Rossington, he'll say, man, we love
• 19:18
  Speaker 9: the Beatles and the Stones and Free and Cream and
• 19:21
  Speaker 9: Humble Pie and bands like that, and they were doing
• 19:25
  Speaker 9: kind of that same kind of thing, but it had
• 19:27
  Speaker 9: a Florida accent.
• 19:28
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: So yeah, because I think the Almond Brothers.
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: Weren't they labeled a southern rock band for a while, yeah,
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: although we all know them as more of a blues band.
• 19:36
  Speaker 9: Right yeah, I mean they were just a melting pot
• 19:38
  Speaker 9: and blues and jazz and country and right.
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: You know, what's the one influence that people would not guess,
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: like one band that you're you were influenced by that
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: people would be like shocked by. And anyone could answer
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: this question and yeah the band Plae.
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes for real?
• 19:54
  Speaker 9: Yeah, no, why yes, it's better than no.
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: Say that again.
• 20:02
  Speaker 14: Someone brought us records when we were kids and we.
• 20:04
  Speaker 5: Liked it, right.
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: I remember seeing Yes way way back literally twenty five
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: years ago in Buffalo, New York at John Anderson. Back
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: then he was into, uh setting up a tent on
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: the stage and sleeping at the venue.
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: And I thought that was the coolest.
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: Thing ever could. I mean, it makes sense.
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: Yeah, the hotels suck after a while, right, But I
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: mean he's a little bit on the spiritual side, and
• 20:28
  Speaker 4: here he is, you know, spending the night in the
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: venue pretty.
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: Much by himself on the stage. He's going to perform
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: in the next day. Wow.
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they won't even let us here before five o'clock,
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: I was speaking of Skinner. Did you guys see the
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: documentary we did? How great was that documentary?
• 20:48
  Speaker 9: Fantastic?
• 20:49
  Speaker 14: Yeah?
• 20:49
  Speaker 9: What a story? I mean, I was just talking about
• 20:52
  Speaker 9: this earlier today. We were that you know, you everyone's
• 20:56
  Speaker 9: heard that story now tons of times from from different
• 21:00
  Speaker 9: But it seems like with each book or documentary you
• 21:03
  Speaker 9: pick up a little something new each time.
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: Right what I learned about I didn't realize that shed
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: that the you know rolls, yeah, the hell House, thank you.
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: I didn't realize what a shithold that place was where
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: all that great music came from.
• 21:16
  Speaker 9: Right there on the right on the river, on the
• 21:19
  Speaker 9: river and gators and.
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, spiders and no ac and uh yeah getting.
• 21:24
  Speaker 9: I love the fact that they said that they would
• 21:26
  Speaker 9: go out in that pasture and find mushrooms. They would
• 21:30
  Speaker 9: trip on shrooms.
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: All day while they were How cool was that? And
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: then everyone and then everyone knew it.
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: Was skinnered that you know, had that shed what was
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: it called again? Hell hell house?
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: Thank you?
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: And they were still breaking into it and stealing all
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: their equipment and just making it, you know, really tough.
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: But don't you think that's where the creativity comes when
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: you guys are in a situation like that, the pressure
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: to perform and create.
• 21:53
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, well, just doing this for eighteen to
• 21:57
  Speaker 9: twenty years, you know, it's like, okay, well we know
• 22:00
  Speaker 9: we're not going to stop, so you know we we
• 22:03
  Speaker 9: unfortunately don't have a hell house, right unless you consider
• 22:07
  Speaker 9: your house with with with with young with young babies crying.
• 22:11
  Speaker 23: And actually our bus fills up with gas fumes sometimes
• 22:15
  Speaker 23: when the driver prompts that's hell.
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: But we find it kind of pleasant.
• 22:19
  Speaker 14: And that's a lot of pressure.
• 22:20
  Speaker 9: It's kind of like mushrooms.
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: You got diesel? Do you have the no ship roll
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: on the bus?
• 22:26
  Speaker 9: Of course? Why you know, I heard a rumor.
• 22:30
  Speaker 14: I mean you got in your pants. Okay, then it's
• 22:33
  Speaker 14: it's that small.
• 22:34
  Speaker 4: In there, right the last wait, get them on mic there.
• 22:43
  Speaker 9: The last time we were here, uh well, one of
• 22:47
  Speaker 9: the last few times. We were in New York City
• 22:49
  Speaker 9: when we left, and then apparently Keith Urban was at
• 22:52
  Speaker 9: Webster Hall and didn't it wasn't there an accident with
• 22:55
  Speaker 9: his bus with it because some busses have a grinder,
• 22:58
  Speaker 9: a toilet grind. You heard about you can't ship in right, Oh,
• 23:02
  Speaker 9: well that's the fridge.
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: But that's the famous story the Dave Matthew. They got
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: a lot of trouble. They dumped their U there.
• 23:09
  Speaker 18: I heard that.
• 23:10
  Speaker 9: I heard that the street in front of Webster Hall
• 23:13
  Speaker 9: was flowing brown. Thanks, Keith.
• 23:17
  Speaker 14: I mean, I'll tell you Keith, Urban's healthy.
• 23:22
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I'll tell you what our people. What our bus
• 23:26
  Speaker 9: driver said, I said once. I mean, you know, you'll
• 23:30
  Speaker 9: be on a bus driving for miles and miles and
• 23:32
  Speaker 9: sometimes you know things are out of you know, the
• 23:35
  Speaker 9: situation will be beyond your control, and you'll think, I
• 23:37
  Speaker 9: really have to ship it's an emergency. Hey, bus driver,
• 23:40
  Speaker 9: can we stop at a rest area or a gas station?
• 23:42
  Speaker 9: And he'll and he told me, uh verbatim, he said,
• 23:46
  Speaker 9: I'll just go ahead and ship in there. Your old
• 23:47
  Speaker 9: little vegan turns won't do no damage.
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: And then there's the bad shame.
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: What's never done that?
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: But I heard about it?
• 24:00
  Speaker 8: Guilty of it?
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: Wait, what's the bag of shame?
• 24:02
  Speaker 24: Let's go when you're stranded on the highway and it's
• 24:06
  Speaker 24: like fifty miles to the next yeah placelet toilet, Yeah,
• 24:10
  Speaker 24: you just get Kroger bags or whatever.
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the number.
• 24:17
  Speaker 8: Yea, they go for it tied up and throw it
• 24:21
  Speaker 8: out the window.
• 24:22
  Speaker 14: Now you put it in the trailer with the merchants.
• 24:25
  Speaker 24: I just kid eat, It'll.
• 24:29
  Speaker 14: Go right through a basket, right through it.
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: I can't.
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: I could ship the best croger bags I could, I
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: could ship anywhere, and I would throw the bag out
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: the window, no problem. You know, I would hope that
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: the highways a little empty, but I absolutely would do that.
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: One other thing, I want to go back to the
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: Lenard Skinner documentary. That last scene of that documentary made
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: me so happy and made me so sad.
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: At the same time.
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: If that if that makes sense, because you're looking at
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: a band. I think they were playing in front of
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: like one hundred thousand people for that final s and
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: it was it was pretty much one of the highlights
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: of their entire careers. And uh and they didn't know
• 25:06
  Speaker 4: that that at that moment, you know, that was that
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: was the pinnacle of their success. And then it just
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: shows that they're all gone, man, oh my goodness.
• 25:15
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 25:15
  Speaker 18: And it shows the pressures of travel that you would
• 25:17
  Speaker 18: get on a plane that might not be one hundred
• 25:20
  Speaker 18: percent right to the next place.
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that that damn rickety plane that everyone knew was
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: in bad shape. It's pretty amazing that more people survived
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: that thing.
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah right.
• 25:29
  Speaker 14: How many people do you know that survive a plane?
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: Not many, probably, I would say none.
• 25:35
  Speaker 23: Right, Yeah, So I mean, but to look at Gary
• 25:39
  Speaker 23: Rossington now and be like, this guy has lived through
• 25:42
  Speaker 23: so much, right, and he still nails it every night.
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: But yeah, you guys, you guys warmed up for Leonard Skinner.
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: Are they still on their fair World tour? Yes?
• 25:53
  Speaker 23: Absolutely, for the next two years.
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: Oh, they're doing a two year run.
• 25:56
  Speaker 23: They're not going to repeat a market, so they're going
• 25:59
  Speaker 23: to one.
• 26:00
  Speaker 14: I mean, the plan is to play everywhere.
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: Why do you think, why are why are they calling
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: it quits?
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: Because it's it seems like it's one of those bands
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: that you could kind of keep the spirit of the
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: band going long past obviously all the original members pretty.
• 26:14
  Speaker 9: Much for a long time now though with Gary being
• 26:16
  Speaker 9: the only he's the last one, right, and I mean
• 26:20
  Speaker 9: he's had some health scares, you know, over the years, right,
• 26:23
  Speaker 9: so I think it's just just time to probably him.
• 26:26
  Speaker 9: I don't know, but I would guess that he probably
• 26:28
  Speaker 9: is like, you know what, I'm gonna stay home now.
• 26:29
  Speaker 4: I would assume, you know, they do the farewell tour
• 26:32
  Speaker 4: for a couple of years, they settled down a little bit,
• 26:33
  Speaker 4: and then they bring it back as something else, kind
• 26:35
  Speaker 4: of like what the break is that?
• 26:37
  Speaker 25: Yeah, we kiss, just says kiss, come back and make
• 26:43
  Speaker 25: up kisses, like on their fifteenth anniversary farewell tour.
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: Something like that. God Gene. Have you guys ever had
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: a run in with Gene? No, I've had him on
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: the era over the years. What an asshole, Jesus Christy.
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: He's exhausting to deal with. Exhausting.
• 27:05
  Speaker 14: Yeah, it seems like it works for him.
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it might.
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: But one of my greatest concert memories was Leonard Skinner.
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: I was in Western New York and it was when
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: they came back and I think nineteen eighty five, ten
• 27:17
  Speaker 4: years later, and they just kicked ass and then it
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: was time for free Bird. And I'm assuming they do
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: this to this day where all a sudden they're like, hey, man,
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: there's only one guy that could sing this song and
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: he's not with us anymore, And they put the hat
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: on the mic with the one spotlight and then it's
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: an instrumental.
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: There wasn't a dry eye in the house.
• 27:35
  Speaker 14: Man, have you seen the farewell tour?
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: Not yet?
• 27:38
  Speaker 14: No go see it. It will It'll make you cry twice.
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: Really Oh yeah, what part?
• 27:45
  Speaker 9: Why?
• 27:45
  Speaker 23: Well, I've got just a huge production now. But they
• 27:49
  Speaker 23: do a they do a video of Ronnie singing and
• 27:53
  Speaker 23: they play to it. Yes, very heavy, oh wow yeah,
• 27:57
  Speaker 23: and then Johnny continues song. Then the same thing Billy
• 28:00
  Speaker 23: Powell place on video plays.
• 28:02
  Speaker 14: Right solo and then Peter takes over.
• 28:04
  Speaker 9: It's it's cool yeah technology.
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's awesome.
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: And how Billy Powell got into that band was fascinating
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: because he was like the roadie I think, right, and
• 28:13
  Speaker 4: his playing was like very classical. And then they said,
• 28:16
  Speaker 4: wait a minute, fucked that roady ship and they fired
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: him and then to.
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: Join the band.
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: So also, I want to talk about Greg Allman. Weren't
• 28:24
  Speaker 4: you guys opening up for his last show ever?
• 28:28
  Speaker 9: Yeah, the laid Back Festival in Atlanta. I don't think
• 28:31
  Speaker 9: anybody at the time knew it would be his last show,
• 28:34
  Speaker 9: but I guess it turned out that way.
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: How heavy was that?
• 28:37
  Speaker 9: It was heavy?
• 28:38
  Speaker 5: Later?
• 28:39
  Speaker 19: Yeah, but.
• 28:41

• 29:03
  Speaker 9: in with our engineer and with a group of people,
• 29:06
  Speaker 9: and one of his really close friends later said, man,
• 29:10
  Speaker 9: he really wanted to do that, which I mean just
• 29:13
  Speaker 9: blows my mind. That's so giving of him. He didn't
• 29:15
  Speaker 9: have to do that, right, who are we?
• 29:16
  Speaker 19: Right?
• 29:17
  Speaker 9: But he was so sick and went and did it anyway.

  Speaker 4: And so you guys never played that song with him, No, no, kidd,
• 29:24
  Speaker 4: the technology is pretty amazing.

  Speaker 9: Yeah, I had to go down to I went down
• 29:28
  Speaker 9: to making Georgia he was playing a show at the
• 29:31
  Speaker 9: Cox Capitol Theater to ask him if he would sing
• 29:34
  Speaker 9: on it. Yeah, and uh And it took a you know,
• 29:37
  Speaker 9: building up your nerve because he could have said no, right, no,
• 29:41
  Speaker 9: I got my own gig to do. Thank you.
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: Would you would? You guys have been devastated if you
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: said no to that, probably.
• 29:46
  Speaker 9: But you know we would have moved on.
• 29:47
  Speaker 23: But gas money from him and but.
• 29:51
  Speaker 9: But that was heavy. But he wanted to hear it,
• 29:53
  Speaker 9: and so you know, he sent him the song and
• 29:55
  Speaker 9: he said okay, I'll do it.
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: It's a great song for him. Man, absolutely, so thank
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: you U. Back to you guys.
• 30:00
  Speaker 4: In the new record. You want to talk about that
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: a little bit. What was the inspiration?
• 30:05
  Speaker 9: And yeah, well it's just we we sort of have
• 30:10
  Speaker 9: the the same process, you know. We we all when
• 30:15
  Speaker 9: we make a record, we all play together, you know,
• 30:17
  Speaker 9: we play live. And it's not we never have the
• 30:22
  Speaker 9: luxury of a ton of time to spend in the studio,
• 30:25
  Speaker 9: so we can't make a Steely Dan record, you know,
• 30:27
  Speaker 9: we can't spend six months ago. But this time I
• 30:32
  Speaker 9: co wrote four songs with an old friend of mine
• 30:35
  Speaker 9: that you may know, Keith Nelson from Buck Cherry Sure,
• 30:38
  Speaker 9: which he and I have been friends for twenty five years.
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: I don't think I knew that.
• 30:42
  Speaker 9: That's pretty cool, but we never have made any music together.
• 30:46
  Speaker 9: We're just buddies, you know. And well he left that
• 30:48
  Speaker 9: band and he was going to produce music and ride
• 30:54
  Speaker 9: and stay at home. Yeah, and he called me one
• 30:56
  Speaker 9: day and said, hey, I got some I got some
• 31:00
  Speaker 9: it is you want to write some songs? And it
• 31:01
  Speaker 9: wasn't for an album, it was just a whim and
• 31:05
  Speaker 9: they wound up being really good.
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: Songs does he sing on the record? No, really nothing.
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: Which songs did he write?
• 31:12
  Speaker 9: Run Away from It All Nice, lay it all on
• 31:15
  Speaker 9: me right, nobody gives a damn and best seat in
• 31:18
  Speaker 9: the house.
• 31:19
  Speaker 10: Right.
• 31:20
  Speaker 4: I wrote my favorite favorite songs on a piece of paper,
• 31:23
  Speaker 4: and then I started realizing that I liked every song
• 31:25
  Speaker 4: on the record.
• 31:27
  Speaker 9: That's good, but a few that I.
• 31:29
  Speaker 4: Just wrote down His Flesh and Bones, run Away from It,

  Speaker 2: I mean, what were some good stops?
• 36:23
  Speaker 16: We were out west with skinnerd.
• 36:24
  Speaker 9: A little Bit right, that was good. Iowa that Hinterland
• 36:28
  Speaker 9: festival that was fantastic.
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: What made that fantastic?
• 36:31
  Speaker 9: Uh? Well, the people were great. But we played with
• 36:35
  Speaker 9: Stgil Simpson and Ratlift and Margot.
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: Price and rat Lift is pretty intense.
• 36:40
  Speaker 9: He's intense.
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: That music is pretty cool.
• 36:42
  Speaker 9: Sturgil.
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: I don't know much about Sturgel.
• 36:44
  Speaker 9: Well, he's he's sort of an Americana traditional country singer.
• 36:50
  Speaker 9: That's what his records kind of sound like. But he
• 36:52
  Speaker 9: showed up just a three piece, him on guitar, bass player,
• 36:55
  Speaker 9: and drummer, and it sounded like a James Gang, no
• 36:58
  Speaker 9: lights blown away, really just just a loud power tree.
• 37:02
  Speaker 14: It was like watching somebody great jam in their basement.
• 37:06
  Speaker 9: And he stepped to the mic at one point and
• 37:08
  Speaker 9: he was like, Okay, I don't know if you know this,
• 37:11
  Speaker 9: but our rule this year is we're not going to
• 37:13
  Speaker 9: play any of the songs the way that you know
• 37:15
  Speaker 9: him and so, and nobody cared. It was just like, Hey,
• 37:19
  Speaker 9: they're so good.
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: Who goods shit?
• 37:21
  Speaker 8: You know?
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: Uh, Dylan did that many years ago.
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: It takes guts.
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: I was pretty I'm not gonna lie to you. I
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: was pretty frustrated by that one.
• 37:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, halfway through like a rolling stone, You're like, oh,
• 37:31
  Speaker 4: this is like a rolling stone, right, sweet jam.
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: He changed it up so much. Everyone's looking around at
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: and now was a guessing game. Which song is this?
• 37:42
  Speaker 9: You know, what have you seen Robert Plant?
• 37:44
  Speaker 5: Now?
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: Not in many yearsational.
• 37:46
  Speaker 9: Shape shifters or sure, he's had two or three different bands,
• 37:49
  Speaker 9: but he does that, and and I think that he
• 37:52
  Speaker 9: I mean, who am I to I'm not trying to
• 37:55
  Speaker 9: second guess Robert Plant, but I figured obviously he can't
• 37:58
  Speaker 9: sing the way he used to when he was in
• 38:00
  Speaker 9: his twenties or even thirties, so he's reimagined those songs
• 38:04
  Speaker 9: and he sings the way that he can.
• 38:07
  Speaker 10: Right.
• 38:07
  Speaker 9: But in that case, like they'll start some cool riff
• 38:10
  Speaker 9: and you're like, oh, that's cool, and then all of
• 38:12
  Speaker 9: a sudden he's singing ram alone and you're like, oh wow,
• 38:14
  Speaker 9: So it's almost like a surprise little gift everything.
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: Sure is it a deep voiced Robert Plant singing Ramball?
• 38:20
  Speaker 9: He's still up, there's still but it's just not the
• 38:24
  Speaker 9: you think he appreciates or hates Greta van Fleet sounding
• 38:27
  Speaker 9: just like them. He thought they were cool.
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I saw that article. But I was wondering if
• 38:32
  Speaker 3: you just if he was trying to be cool, because.
• 38:34
  Speaker 14: That wo be awful if he's like they are horrible.
• 38:37
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 38:38
  Speaker 4: The first time I heard them, I wasn't sure if
• 38:41
  Speaker 4: it was some kind of like long lost led Zeppelin music.
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: Though it's crazy how they nailed that.
• 38:46
  Speaker 9: You know, he would have to be flattered to think
• 38:49
  Speaker 9: that his music still impacts young people now.
• 38:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, oh yeah that that band's really into it.
• 38:54
  Speaker 9: So they're great.
• 38:55
  Speaker 14: Yeah.
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: So is your family on the road for the whole
• 38:58

  Speaker 3: you do radio, you get fired a lot.
• 50:57
  Speaker 4: And I got fired when I was in Boston for
• 50:59
  Speaker 4: saying the mayor of Boston died in a fiery car accident,
• 51:03
  Speaker 4: and they showed me to the border. But good stuff, right,
• 51:07
  Speaker 4: Look he's dying. It was an April fulls prank and
• 51:09
  Speaker 4: they didn't have a sense of humor. But anyway, the
• 51:11
  Speaker 4: next stop was either New York or Atlanta, and the
• 51:15
  Speaker 4: guys down there in Atlanta were trying to convince me
• 51:17
  Speaker 4: that Atlanta.
• 51:17
  Speaker 3: Was just like New York, and I just could not
• 51:21
  Speaker 3: see that.
• 51:22
  Speaker 2: It's just like there are about five blocks and five
• 51:25
  Speaker 2: neighborhoods in the city, right, well, Buck had sort of
• 51:28
  Speaker 2: like the Upper east Side on a Sunday, Okay, I
• 51:31
  Speaker 2: lived in an area called Inman Park, which was a
• 51:33
  Speaker 2: little more like Williamsburg Brooklyn, right, and yes, nice and
• 51:40
  Speaker 2: and now it's more gentrifying all that. So then I
• 51:42
  Speaker 2: spent a couple of years out in the what was
• 51:45
  Speaker 2: the Sticks, which is now you know, Upper Fulton County
• 51:48
  Speaker 2: is more suburbs, and they're pushing almost, I mean, the
• 51:52
  Speaker 2: Metro is going to be all the way up to
• 51:53
  Speaker 2: the Tennessee border, up up to Chattanooga. But I think

  Speaker 4: I mean you guys know, you know, you get the
• 56:12
  Speaker 4: radio DJ to go up there and announce fifteen minutes

  Speaker 4: before you actually come on stage.
• 56:16
  Speaker 3: And you know, the radio guy me being the guy
• 56:19
  Speaker 3: in this story, you know, you feel like, you know,
• 56:22
  Speaker 3: a hot shot.
• 56:23
  Speaker 4: And they had one rule, do not touch Greg Almond's
• 56:26
  Speaker 4: bike and I was just starting out on radio and
• 56:28
  Speaker 4: I got to introduce it was Greg.
• 56:30
  Speaker 3: Almond when he was doing the solo thing, and I
• 56:33
  Speaker 3: touched the mic and I caught hell backstage. Man, they
• 56:36
  Speaker 3: yelled and screamed out. I was just a kid, and
• 56:38
  Speaker 3: I was. I was out of my mind nervous, man.
• 56:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I grabbed it because I was so nervous. I
• 56:43
  Speaker 2: just grabbed it like this, and I was shaking just
• 56:45
  Speaker 2: to make.
• 56:45
  Speaker 4: My dumb announcement that no one, honestly, would you know,
• 56:48
  Speaker 4: gave a shit about.
• 56:49
  Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, right, we were doing the show at
• 56:54
  Speaker 2: station I was working at in Boston, and it was
• 56:58
  Speaker 2: the further shows right that after the you know, after
• 57:01
  Speaker 2: Jerry died, you had that, those two runs. So it
• 57:03
  Speaker 2: was the Almonds and the Crows were all on those tours.
• 57:05
  Speaker 2: Were at great Woods, right, which I don't know what
• 57:08
  Speaker 2: it's called these days, but this venue up in Massachusetts,
• 57:10
  Speaker 2: and uh, the Almonds are playing and they're in this deep,
• 57:14
  Speaker 2: you know, warrants, just in this deep, incredible groove and
• 57:16
  Speaker 2: I'm backstage with the station and I feel this, you know,
• 57:20
  Speaker 2: this kind of arm come over me and pull me in,
• 57:23
  Speaker 2: and it's Chris, and he goes, you're having a religious experience. Sure, yeah,
• 57:30
  Speaker 2: absolutely goes, and this is going to come back someday,
• 57:35
  Speaker 2: like what's going to come back? Now, this, this whole
• 57:37
  Speaker 2: thing is going to come back someday. I ran into
• 57:40
  Speaker 2: him probably ten years later, and he went still having
• 57:42
  Speaker 2: that rudalizous experience. And at the time I was like, heavy,
• 57:45
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't have recognized man, like this guy's in it.
• 57:47
  Speaker 2: He gets just the other day this is in just
• 57:51
  Speaker 2: what you said reminded me of Uh. We saw Chris
• 57:55
  Speaker 2: at the peach Fest in Pennsylvania and you years ago,
• 58:00
  Speaker 2: twenty two years ago, Briton Richard and I were in
• 58:04
  Speaker 2: a band with another singer who wrote some songs and
• 58:08
  Speaker 2: we made a record with him, and he was our
• 58:11
  Speaker 2: buddy then, but he was a little whatever.
• 58:13
  Speaker 9: We didn't fit anyway. He had this song and it
• 58:17
  Speaker 9: had a goofy title, and at Peachfest the other day, Chris,
• 58:21
  Speaker 9: out of the blue, goes, whatever happened to that dude,
• 58:23
  Speaker 9: And he said the title of that song, and I
• 58:26
  Speaker 9: thought it was called Brooklyn Wine, like wine, that's the
• 58:29
  Speaker 9: name of a song this guy wrote, which that's goofy.
• 58:32
  Speaker 9: But I was like why the hell would you remember that?
• 58:36
  Speaker 9: And he goes, I don't know, man, I'm on the
• 58:38
  Speaker 9: spectrum somehow. He goes, I don't remember shit like that.
• 58:44
  Speaker 4: I gotta ask on one hackey question. BlackBerry Smoke, Where
• 58:48
  Speaker 4: did the name come from?
• 58:50
  Speaker 2: From him?
• 58:50
  Speaker 3: From Chris Robinson, what's the story?
• 58:54
  Speaker 23: We just we asked him we were looking for a name.
• 58:58
  Speaker 23: We were going to start playing out and we had
• 59:00
  Speaker 23: this one name operating and then and.
• 59:03
  Speaker 3: I asked you what the name was?
• 59:06
  Speaker 23: Okay, so that was taken, right, So we start. I said, well, man,
• 59:10
  Speaker 23: you know, a good idea would be ask our friends
• 59:12
  Speaker 23: that are in bands that it's just too late for
• 59:14
  Speaker 23: them to change their name. That maybe down the road.
• 59:16
  Speaker 14: They were like, oh, we should have called ourselves right, right.
• 59:20
  Speaker 23: So we asked him and Steve Gorman and they're all,
• 59:24
  Speaker 23: everybody in that band's pretty funny.
• 59:25
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 59:26
  Speaker 23: So there was a lot of funny names that came
• 59:28
  Speaker 23: and uh, and then finally Chris sent uh the BlackBerry
• 59:34
  Speaker 23: Smoke and we're like, that's great.
• 59:36
  Speaker 3: That's a cool name, man. Why didn't they use it
• 59:39
  Speaker 3: at the top the Black Crows? Oh they were already
• 59:41
  Speaker 3: with the Black Crows.
• 59:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but I would assume they picked black Crows over
• 59:45
  Speaker 4: a BlackBerry smoke.
• 59:46
  Speaker 3: You would think maybe they had a short list of
• 59:47
  Speaker 3: names at that point.
• 59:48
  Speaker 14: Yeah, I think they just uh, I don't know. I
• 59:51
