When Charlie Starr started writing the songs that would become Blackberry Smoke's new album, Be Right Here, the first tune the vocalist/lead guitarist worked up was "Dig A Hole." Formed by an old guitar riff married with a Wurlitzer chorus riff written by keyboardist Brandon Still, the swampy psychedelic-rock song is a powerful statement about choosing your path in life-whether you want to give into temptation or walk a more righteous road.

"In life, we all are faced with choices," Starr says. "Are we going to do good, or are we going to do bad? Are we going to love, or are we going to hate? We have a finite amount of time, each of us on this Earth. So probably want to make the best out of it instead of wasting time."

"Dig A Hole" is the lead track on Be Right Here and sets the tone for another expansive set of rock ‘n' roll from Blackberry Smoke. As always, the Georgia-based band-Starr, Still, guitarist/vocalist Paul Jackson, bassist/vocalist Richard Turner and drummer Brit Turner-draw inspiration from Southern rock, blues-leaning classic rock and rootsy vintage country. But on Be Right Here, Blackberry Smoke sound even more self-assured, from the strength of their songwriting to their musical execution.

Over the past two decades, Blackberry Smoke has developed this confidence and amassed a loyal fanbase, leading their last five full-length albums to achieve great chart success, including 2021's You Hear Georgia, which reached #1 on Billboard's Americana/Folk Albums chart.
