Blackberry Smoke has recently release the lead single ‘Waiting for the Thunder’ to their upcoming Like An Arrow set for October 14. The band is currently touring the US with rock legends Gov’t Mule.
“This album is the self-produced culmination of 15 years of trying to plant our flag in the musical landscape. We couldn’t be more proud of it.” – Charlie Starr
Like An Arrow was recorded just outside of the band’s native Atlanta at The Quarry Recording Studio in Kennesaw, GA.
The 12-track album was self-produced and features special guest Gregg Allman on the album’s closing track, “Free On The Wing.”
