BLACKBERRY SMOKE have released another new track from their upcoming sixth studio album, 'Find A Light', which is set for release on 6th April via Earache. Check out "Let Me Down Easy (feat. Amanda Shires)" here <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDwuyNJLpDI>.
A soft, folksy ballad about lost love, "Let Me Down Easy" sees Shires lend her harmonies to compliment BLACKBERRY SMOKE's frontman/guitarist, Charlie Starr. Charlie tells us, "I wrote Let Me Down Easy with my old buddy, Keith Nelson. We really wanted a cool female voice on it. I thought it would be really cool to have a female harmony on this song, sort of a Gram Parsons/Emmylou Harris kind of thing, and Amanda came to mind. Amanda Shires most definitely has a cool voice. She sings beautifully on it."
'Find A Light' is available for pre-order here <http://smarturl.it/BBS-FindALight>. You can also listen to another new track, "Flesh and Bone" here <http://smarturl.it/BBS-FleshandBone>.
Self-produced by the Atlanta-based five-piece, 'Find A Light' features 13 new songs written/co-written by frontman and guitarist Charlie Starr. In addition to Starr and band members Richard Turner (bass/vocals), Brit Turner (drums), Paul Jackson (guitar/vocals), and Brandon Still (keyboards), the album also features special guests, Robert Randolph ("I'll Keep Ramblin'"), Amanda Shires ("Let Me Down Easy") and THE WOOD BROTHERS ("Mother Mountain").
