What's better than going to a Blackberry Smoke show? Getting on the tour bus! A huge thank you to Charlie Starr and the rest of the Blackberry Smoke team for letting us on their tour bus and talking about the band’s amazing legacy, writing process, Charlie’s signature Gibson Les Paul Junior, and of course the rest of the secrets to his tone.
