Blackberry Smoke-Holding All The Roses (2015)

Blackberry Smoke's music is steeped in country rock, southern rock, bluegrass, and classic rock, making them one of the hottest acts in modern American rock. Since their beginnings back in 2001, the Atlanta band has given us some monumental albums like "Bad Luck Ain't No Crime" (2003), "The Whippoorwill" (2012), "Holding All The Roses" (2015), and "Like An Arrow" (2016). Focusing on "Holding All The Roses", the band showcases everything they offered in their previous work, but composed and performed in a more judicious and restrained manner. The energetic rhythms of classic rock are even more prominent, as demonstrated by tracks like "Let Me Help You (Find The Door)" and "Living In The Song". However, they also continue to produce their usual American roots sounds such as the southern "Holding All The Roses", "Wish In One Hand", "Payback's A Bitch" and "Fire In The Hole", or the delightful country "No Way Back to Eden", "Too High" and "Lay It All On Me".
