Blackberry Smoke - "My Old Friend The Blues"

[@jamcrane3]

Lovers leave and friends will let you down....truer words never been written

[@sherylbaker9944]

AMEN BROTHER

[@franrod74]

These guys are great. Everynote they play is there for a reason. They never overplay. The balance, the tone, the melodies are just right. That's what wise artists do. They understand the song is what's important. Hats off.

[@angieneal7070]

my hat is off to you. you put it just right.

[@tomprophet7097]

Great tune Great band

[@rustyshackleford4668]

Perfect song, perfect performance.

[@anneanderson8927]

I’ve heard many versions of this song before... and there’s no doubt about it for me... this is by far the best ever!

[@scottebert8582]

I do love Steve Earles version though.

[@anneanderson8927]

Yes… after all … Steve Earle wrote the song …and his original version has sure inspired a lot of artists to cover it … still like it… will always like it…

[@ranconshermans9390]

I'll listen then

[@sandywinfield9406]

Wow some cool young guys with great voices who actually play their instruments. A breath of fresh air!

[@janetlopez6813]

I feel Steve is the only one who can sing and play this song .. He has such feeling in both . .u can really feel his pain and struggles 💞 beautiful song Steve Earle

[@Daughter-of-an-outlaw]

Totally agree! Steve's the only one who can do this song.🤩 Well, it is his song to begin with. 😉🤠

[@greghall4446]

Agreed 100% Steve Earl does it the best

[@tonyx8750]

I cant say how much this song just speaks to me. I love all kinds of music, I'm always searching for that special vibe...this is one... Thanks Blackberry Smoke for being that ' sure thing I've found'

[@geoffadams5537]

I absolutely love this song,I'm going to bust my bollocks and teach myself to play the bloody thing. Good therapy for a long broken heart. I miss my Alison ❤️❤️

[@SuperLindy1962]

I listen to this song almost everyday. It's beautiful. I know it's Steve Earle's song. But I love BBS singing it. Just beautiful. 💜

[@karenbrooks6823]

DID STEVE EARLE WRITE THIS SONG? DIDN'T THE BAND RECORD IT A LONG TIME AGO? I AM ALMOST 50 SO, BELIEVE IT OR NOT IT IS BEFORE MY TIME! BUT STEVE EARLE ISN'T AND I LISTEN TO HIM ALOT. I DIG THIS BAND AND I WAS JUST WONDERING
