This was a great episode! Charlie and the rest of the band are such great people! I had the opportunity to meet them at a few meet and greets over the years. The most memorable was when they opened up for Zac Brown at Madison Square Garden. I asked Brit Turner, their drummer at the time who has sadly passed away recently, how the soundcheck went and how the room sounded. He said "well, you can tell me later"...I asked where they were going to be after the show and he said The Cutting Room. So after the show my wife and I made our way to the Cutting Room and were lucky enough to get there before the velvet rope went up and somehow we talked our way inside.. Maybe they thought we were industry people LOL! Anyway we made to the back room where they had stage set up and Blackberry Smoke and the Zac Brown band played till 3am in the morning...It was one of the greatest live music experiences ever...Seeing that level of talent up close was amazing!

Kylie is the most charming girl on KZread. I mean, she's so so......everything! Love this show. Thanks for sharing, Kylie.

I know, becuse it was made for TV I had to keep it short but could have made it much longer... Maybe with season 2!

Great Interview! Really like Charlie’s demeanor and his humbleness. It’s not easy being a traveling 🧳 musician and raise a family. Lot of sacrifices. Thank goodness 😅 his wife has been patient all these years. I am relatively a new fan of Blackberry Smoke 💨 and wish them all the best going forward into the future.

Charlie Starr is such a killer musician! Been looking forward to this!

one of the best series about guitar players! continue on!

Thank you Dave... there is more to come so you are in for a treat! ko x

I just saw Blackberry Smoke at the Ryman. They just keep getting better!

I never told this story... In music circles in WNy and Pa my name is BFG, and that is since 1971. I was 'struggling' into a bar we were going to play. I had a Fender Twin w/JBL's and a mic stand under one arm, then 3 guitars (2 in a double case) under my other arm. I was also 6 foot 4 and just short of 400lbs. The place was packed, and the bartender, who I knew well, shouted at the top of his lungs " Big Fucking Gary"!!! That was it!! For the last 53 years I've also been "BFG", I answer to it like any other name! When Gibbons started using it, I thought oh no! But it's never been a problem!! Cheers.... Peace, bfg

@@jonathansteadman7935 The JBL's made it weigh ~100lbs!! I was a big boy!! Today I'm 72 years old, I shrunk, 6.0 and 190lbs! LOL Dr's orders! Still playing gigs, just not as many. Peace bfg

I like that that Charlie still acknowledges the Georgia Satelites. One of the greatest bands ever.

One of the best episodes! Charlie makes everyone feels like old friends!

Saw Blackberry Smoke at HOB Boston. Their live guitar sounds were maybe the best I've ever heard

Knew very little about Charlie, but that was a great introduction to him, seems like a lovely guy, will go and find out more about his music. Thanks again for another relaxed and natural chat. But..... when are you meeting Brian May?!

1984 was the end of Van Halen for the generation that first discovered them.

Freakn awesome!!!!

Gotta love Charlie and the fellas!!

Great interview. Just so you know Vinyl was never not being pressed. Ot was not a popular but never stopped.

He has a nice orderly home very well un rock n roll

Great video!

Charlie is a Southern gentleman. So glad he always gives the Georgia Sattelites a name check. Their Faces style Rock n Roll seem to get forgotten, Rick Richards was a great guitarist, and Dan Baird is a great singer/ songwriter, even his solo stuff. .....Great Interview !

When i went to concerts in the 70s everyone was my age,I saw Willy Nelson last year and everyone is still my age More handicap seating please LMAO!!

I was referring to the section were he mentions quitting drinking... around age 31. Partially because as he and his partner couldn't live that way...

👍

Never heard of these guys.

Charlie seems like such an easygoing guy. But did I hear that right he "was 31" and she was "18 years younger"!? Im sure there's a mistake there somewhere.

31 is when he stopped “partying”

MLK Jr was a shitty guitar player… Maybe leave him out of any Southern rock discussion…

Ford or Chevy? And Charlie's driving a Dodge!! lol. FLY ME COURAGEOUS!!
