Blackberry Smoke performing "The Whippoorwill" at North Avenue Studios as part of our Off The Avenue live session video series.

This band is true to the southern rock mold of the 70s and 80s but molds all that into contemporary craftsmanship. At 51 years-old I never thought I'd hear anything like this again.

Fantastic song great players Charlie is in a league of his own

[@lindathalman3506]

How did I miss this clip? 10 years ago and it just popped up in Oct. 2023... thank you for this very emotional rendering of The Whippoorwill. If you didn't know, Charlie has said this is a song for/about his grandmother who had passed. You can feel, hear, see the emotion in Charlie's performance. I can almost see and hear his tears. It is pure poetry. Merci, thank you for this clip! From near Paris, France.

Great song. Im more of a rock fan than country, but this is a band that walks that Southern Rock line beautifully. I can hear so many of my favorite bands in Blackberry Smoke's music. From Pink Floyd, to Skynyrd, The Black Crowes and so many more. For a guy that isn't a country fan, even their twangy tunes have given me a newfound respect for the genre. Glad I found these guys!

[@alleykattmullins945]

Beautiful song and his voice just brings it home. The double lead takes me back to the 70s like the eagles

[@gregmartin414]

[@joeljacq7486]

What a beautiful song and this particular song reminds me of the Eagles. Love Chalie's vocals and guitar work. Awesome musicians 🙏

[@KenMac-ui2vb]

Blackberry Smoke may have some of the best vocals I have ever heard. What an awesome vibe.

[@Ireland831]

The country equivalent of Darkside of the Moon or All Along the Watchtower. For sure along the lines of Simple Man by Skynyrd or maybe Ballad of Curtis Lowe. Epic So good. Thanks guys.

[@alexandermuir3119]

Old Skool like it never went away.

[@kronz602]

[@Yesica1993]

I can't believe I've never heard of this band before now!

[@Ireland831]

I love this song....what a band...i play the shit out of this record and play my guitar and sing along. Songs are magic when the melody and weight of the lyrics come together. It is rare to have everything converge into something so epic. This tune is fricken perfection. Thanks Charlie and the band! Brandon was so nice at the Mtn Winerey(Paul Masson) in Saratoga. Our selfie sucked but who cares...we were enjoying Gov't Mule! Rock on boyz!

[@lynneloftis2507]

What a groove of a jam this song is. Love, love, love them.

[@gtrslgr]

I never thought about Pink Floyd until I heard this version.The lp version is a bit different

[@ChristianPaulson-Music]

Hey, what do ya'll get for the chords before the solo at 2:50? On the studio version it sounds like Am7, C, F7, F7/F#, G7...then there's an Eb in there? On this version it sounds like Am7, Am7/G, F7, F7/F#, G7...If anyone can clarify that, I'd appreciate it. Thanks. CP
