Country music has seen its share of southern rock influenced acts recently, but it hasn't seen anything like Blackberry Smoke. Where other bands claim influence by the past, Blackberry Smoke lives and breathes those influences. "This is best live band in the South," says James Stroud, CEO of Stroudavarious Records. "Their show is beyond belief; just awesome," Stroud says of the band that has shared the stage with ZZ Top, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Shooter Jennings, Cross Canadian Ragweed and others.

With the loud and proud Little Piece Of Dixie, the long-haired boys of Blackberry Smoke bring back the true spirit of the southern rock era. The album, which was recorded with legendary producer Dann Huff (Keith Urban, Rascal Flatts) and engineer Justin Niebank, has the instant familiarity of some of the best old records.

Blackberry Smoke joins an impressive roster at Stroudavarious Records that includes hit-makers Darryl Worley, Anthony Smith, LoCash Cowboys, Richie McDonald, Shea Fisher and others.

With Little Piece Of Dixie, you'll feel like you've discovered a comfortable old friend; a lost treasure from the 70's. It's gritty. It's raw. It's southern rock as it was meant to be.
