With “A Little Piece Of Dixie” Blackberry Smoke deliver exactly what they promise in the title. From start to finish these Southern boys rock and swing harder than the rocking chair on their front porch.
They throw some of that Southern rock swagger in your face armed with bluesy riffs delivered by two guitars, shouted vocals that come with just the right amount of grit and a great sense of melody. And of course the pedal steel guitar and Hammond organ aren’t forgotten either!
Also included is the occasional excursion into bluegrass and I’ll be damned if that doesn’t rock as well. Oh, and make sure to check out the bonus track with George Jones and Jamey Johnson on vocals. Great album if you’re into this kind of music… fans of Lynyrd Skynyrd, Drive-By Truckers and The Black Crowes should rejoice and start work on that bottle of whiskey that has been waiting for a soundtrack to go with it!
Score: 8 out of 10
