Ep 860 : Charlie Starr of BlackBerry Smoke 02.06.2026 1godz 33min

Today on Let There Be Talk, I sit down with the great Charlie Starr of Blackberry Smoke. For the last 25 years, Blackberry Smoke has been carrying the torch for authentic Southern rock, blending incredible songwriting, killer musicianship, and a relentless work ethic that has earned them one of the most loyal fan bases in music. Charlie joins me to talk about the band's incredible 25-year journey, from grinding it out in clubs and bars to headlining theaters and festivals around the world. We dive into the evolution of the band, the stories behind the songs, life on the road, staying true to your artistic vision, and what keeps Blackberry Smoke moving forward after a quarter century.
