I mean NO disrespect to Whiskey, but he has a way to go guys. I’m enthusiastic in his ability and song writing but come on…..he has to build up a backlog before remotely being considered to be at this level.

I saw Blackberry Smoke live and was blown away. I describe them as one of the most "professional" sounding bands I've ever heard.

If you’re going with Black Berry Smoke, you need to hear “Good One Coming On” or “One Horse Town”.

Finally ! My favourite band !!

I love Blackberry Smoke! Smashed the like button before the vid even started.

I literally play this song as loud as my giant system in the basement allows me to. My favorite of theirs. Thank God you are doing this one!!!

Make me feel the rhythm in the service of the melody. Mr. Britt on the bass guitar knocks it out of the park on this song.

Outstanding analysis video! Charlie Starr is a friggn’ badass! If there were any justice in this world, BlackBerry Smoke would be headlining large arenas!

finally!!!!!! charlie starr is a legend! seen them 14 times and counting. highly recommend catching a show if you have not.

BlackBerry smoke is my favourite band. Nice to see you do one of their tunes. “Up in smoke” is a good one.

If you havent seen them live.. its a must! They are better live then on the album..! Never pass up the opportunity to see them when they roll through your town

Charlie Starr never disappoints.

I love this song

Chris Robinson helped in naming Blackberry Smoke. Cool Georgia shit

Yessss blackberry smoke!!! Been waiting for you to do these guys!

A favorite band. A favorite song. And thanks for your comments on the bass at the end. It was THIS song that convinced me to become a bass player.

Blackberry smoke are the absolute best

Yeah !!! Blackberry smoke !!!

they hve so many good songs one horse town is my favorite

Blackberry Smoke never disappoints. You should check out "Ain't Got the Blues." Thanks for covering one of my favorite bands.

Yes!!!! Love BBS

One of my favorites since I heard them a few years ago

Yea this dude is my fave ! Extremely talented an a one of a kind guitar instructor ! In my book he is one of the very best at both worlds 🌎 thank you for what you do for all of us future good guitar players !!

this just about the perfect song!!!!!!!

Awesome!! BBS has been my fav modern band since 2009. Got to finally see them in 18 on the outlaw country cruise ( went to all their shows on the ship, 1 full acoustic) as well as meet them . Charlie is a very humble and cool cat. I just loved them from the first time I heard them...rock/blues/country/soul all mixed together....thats my thing for sure!!!!! Thanks for doing this vid. Open G accompanied by standard....what a full sound and tone👍🏻😉👍🏻

Hearing this song live is the best!!!

Awsome band been loving their stuff for a while.

The live electric version is AMAZING as well.. seen them overc10 times.Great band, been a fan for 20 years. Charlie Star is amazing, they all are. If they just came out 8 - 10 years earlier they would be multi millionaires like earlier bands.

I love how this channel always brings me music I’d otherwise probably never hear! The service of EXPOSURE you provide is invaluable! If I’m ever in the right place to take your guitar courses, I will... But the react videos are my happy place! If I never pick up an instrument, your interpretation of songs will keep me in the creative space amid whatever distractions life brings me!!!! Thank you for these videos!! They are a tremendous bright spot for so many of us!

I'm really liking the "you hear Georgia" !

I like how he says "thought that I'd hit bottom, but I ain't there yet" as the note starts out at the top and works its way down, lower like a wave, to prove musically how you can go high to low.

I'm so glad you featured this band! The first time I heard "One Horse Town" I ran home and learned the progression in minutes, purely through inspiration. I worked out my own solo apart from the original, and felt really good about my endeavor. I still play the song and I am grateful for the spur that was dug into my side👍Thanks Michael P.!!!!!!!!

Charlie grey "starr" is from same town as I . He's a phenomenal singer songwriter guitarist. His father is too. His dad plays locally here time to time.

That's an old album. Before Brandon joined the band. You need to experience this band live if possible, especially at The Shed.

I have been listening to BlackBerry Smoke a lot in the past few weeks. Brilliant reaction keep'em coming

Michael you just don't know how much I love watching you express yourself when something really excites you. like that bass player at the end. I mean really really cracks me up.

Love Blackberry Smoke! Your explanations are spot on and so inspiring to me. You have an amazing ear and are a musical genius, in my opinion. Thanks so much!

These​ guys​ sound​ great! Thanks​ for​ another​ good​ break​down, and​ a​ new​ band​ for​ me​ to​ check​ out.

Alright you just got even cooler!!! BBS are amazing live !!!!!!

Can't get enough of these guys

I've yet to hear a bad blackberry smoke song! Spread, like and share the smoke!!

I've seen them a bunch of times...killer show every time!

May 7th, 8th, 14th, 15th of May 2021. Absolutely a must for any BBS fan. Brothers and Sisters reunion at The Shed, Maryville TN. Smokey Mountain Harley Davidson. Great venue and wonderful people to hang out with to watch this great band.

BBS are incredible. Had seen them before, but saw them in Ottawa in March 2020 the day before the world shut down. I think I went to the last concert ever ! Haha. Thanks Michael, great breakdown.

I was finally gonna see these guys in March here in Kitchener. The show got cancelled 2 hours before. Thanks COVID. They rescheduled for this November. Now that one got postponed till next October.

My son was a drug addict & only alive by the grace of God & a needle full of Narcan. I heard this song at work. I was literally crying at my desk. That was 4 or 5 years ago. Since then, he's straightened out & working hard. Now I'm the addict. Addicted to BBS.

Totally down with seeing more reactions to videos you've already seen. The in-depth analysis was great!

Absolutely love watching these breakdowns as if I have a clue what you’re talking about. 😊

Great breakdown Mike...we love em here in London, England too! Gonna add this to my open G repertoire! Been on to The Smoke for a few years now.

Thank you for putting these guys up here for everyone that doesn't know them! After listening to them for 5 years, i still get goosebumps! I think I'm in love with CHARLIE STAR!..HAha! Amazing writing, REAL people, serious musicians. AND, the first band to impress the hell outta me in years. Thank you BlackBerry Smoke for the listening joy you give me! I sincerely hope to see y'all live one of these days! Charlie, don't dare lay down that writing pencil! I feel like y'all are my family and i enjoy introducing you to anyone and everyone that has yet to be blessed by the sound of BlackBerry Smoke!

One of the best rock bands of our time...

I love your attitude towards music. So amazing. Greetings from Germany

KZread just suggested this song to me this week and I love it. Great serendipity that you've chosen to review this recently. I've never tried alternate tunings but might have to go for it now :)

Glad you did this one. I love BBS

Love this song so much. Simple isn't a bad thing!!!!

"The dude is a bass player". Haha, couldn't agree more, he is one of my favorite working bass players. Always in beast mode and a huge part of their sound.

I'm currently sitting at their concert with Jamey Johnson. Waiting on the fun to start.

400 of those 900 were probably from me! haha, I heard this roughly 3 years ago. The melody, the lyrics and vibe in general made this one of my all time favourites! . It's a 527 ft home run IMO, This one really hits home. "One horse town" is on that list as well. When I play this, it takes me to a whole other place. Thanks brother cheers!

THIS SONG is the first one i ever heard from BBS..i had to check them out!

I could not agree more that simplicity is huge with writing music. If you play, you've most likely played tons of covers, and what do you notice?... well, what I notice is that acoustic / unplugged versions of even the most highly produced songs are just simple, but effective chord progressions. Some of my most favorite songs are just F, G,C songs, or A,D,G songs, etc... They say country songs are "3 chords and the truth." Totally true! And, I'd say blues, folk, and rock could say the same sentiment. Nothing at all wrong with simple. Love it!

I saw these guys at a bar in Fredericksburg, VA back when they were touring the Little Piece of Dixie album. AMAZING show. They were really down to earth guys.

I love his voice

BBS are just fantastic, thats it! And what a band live too, their sound man, somewhat like the band, is an unsung hero.

I concur..great band..well rehearsed..

Love the "Michael Anthony" harmonies...

for me the absolut best song from blackberry smoke! I LOVE IT!!

This got me. "You can't downplay purposeful simplicity " I subscribed immediately

Do yourself a favor and find the live versions of this song! They take it to a new level incorporating classic songs from Led Zepplin, Black Sabbath, Allman Brothers and the Beetles to name a few. This song ends their show and it is the best closing song that I have heard and seen to date and I have been to over 350 concerts. Seen these guys 78 times and they have NEVER disappointed. Great musicians and great people!

Dude I love that guitar!! My favorite look of a PRS

If the Allman Brothers and The Black Crows had a child it would be Blackberry Smoke! Great band!

One of my favorite tunes of theirs. I think of that intro with the floaty F as Bbmaj7 -> Am7 -> G rather than F -> C -> G. Great vibe either way!

Great pick, blackberry smoke is awesome

Michael, thanks for finally doing these guys, they're one of my all time favorites and you should listen to some of their deeper tracks. They just did a livestream concert with Billy Strings and Tommy Emmanuel as well which made for some awesome guitar moments. You gotta see these guys live, Charlie's personality on stage is awesome. Another singer/songwriter/guitarist I just got into is Brent Cobb. He's pretty insane. Highly recommend you checking out some of his stuff. Thanks!

I like how u break it down brother. Keep the videos coming!

First time I've seen your videos. Love Blackberry Smoke. Got turned on to them by Don Jamison on That Metal Show years ago. They came thru Albuquerque and played in this little bar. Paid ten bucks and stood five feet in front of Charlie Star. Best working band going! Love your enthusiasm and awesome knowledge!

“Getting out of here while I still can” yep. And your G then F run was plenty clean man !

Right on! So glad to hear this have a look see here on the M Palmisano channel. Thanks MP!

Not my cup of tea but I always learn something. I super appreciate your enthusiasm, knowledge and humility.

Love the videos. You offer great perspective on how bands tie music together to make a group effort and it is very interesting and taught me a lot about guitar. I love that you show several independent artists (I’m from Texas so it’s all I listen to). However I would recommend looking into Whiskey Myers. They are an East Texas Rock and roll band and being from the area, I can say they make some of the most honest music you can find. They have several live songs on KZread, not sure which you could choose from legally but “dogwood” epitomizes our area well

Anyone else see them open for Susan and Derek last summer (2019)? They're killer live. That was one of the best shows Ive ever seen.

@MichaelPalmisano You produce EASILY the most thoughtful and entertaining guitar content on KZread. I'm not a musician, but music is a constant throughout my daily life and your videos have deepened my appreciation for the talents of some of my favorite player, such as Derek Trucks, Marcus King, Charlie Starr, Warren Haynes, etc. Your genuine enthusiasm and passion for the music you analyze is awesome and sets you apart. Keep doing the rock gods' work my friend. Who knows, if I watch enough of your videos I may just have to finally pick up a guitar myself...

up the road is one of there most powerfull songs acoustic

Hey man, I’ve been in love with SRV’s rendition of little wing for a while, but lately Life without you has been what’s grabbing my soul, I would love for you to do a quick lil breakdown, it’s a beautiful song and I wanna understand the music behind it

Saw these guys live at the Vidalia Onion Festival a few years ago.
