This feat was matched in 2016 with Like an Arrow. The sub-Quo thud of Rock and Roll Again aside, this is an eminently likable upholding of 40-year-old principles. Blackberry Smoke has been one of the highlights of independent country and Southern rock over the last two decades, becoming the first independent outfit in the modern era to go 1 on the Billboard Country Albums chart when their album Holding All The Roses did so in 2015. 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.
