Blackberry Smoke announce new album ‘Be Right Here’

BLACKBERRY SMOKE have announced a new album!

Titled Be Right Here, the upcoming album from the Georgia-based country rockers is the follow-up to 2021’s You Hear Georgia, and is scheduled to be released in February next year, via 3 Legged Records/Thirty Tigers.

Produced by Grammy Award-winning producer Dave Cobb [CHRIS STAPLETON, JASON ISBELL], Be Right Here intends to be a timely reminder to be present and live authentically. Recorded at Nashville’s historic RCA Studio A and Cobb’s Georgia Mae in Savannah, the album features the band – Charlie Starr (vocals, guitar), Richard Turner (bass, vocals), Brit Turner (drums), Paul Jackson (guitar, vocals) and Brandon Still (keyboards) – alongside Preston Holcomb (drums) and Benji Shanks (guitar), as well as special guest vocals from THE BLACK BETTYS.

Reflecting on the project, Starr shares, “we always track live together, but this time we had all our amps and drums and everything in the same room. It’s just as natural and as real as possible. The last album was very raw too, but with this one I remember different times I would say, ‘I think we should redo that,’ and Dave was like, ‘No, leave it that way. That way it’s magical.'”

Alongside the announcement of the new album, BLACKBERRY SMOKE have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming album; Dig A Hole. Speaking about the new song, Starr says, “the lyrics for this song came really quickly. We each have a finite amount of time on this earth, so you probably want to make the best out of it instead of wasting it. Eventually for all of us, they are going to you dig a hole, so try to have a good life before they do that.”
