Blackberry Smoke’s rockin’ new album You Hear Georgia was recorded last year at RCA Studios in Nashville, in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic. Produced by the legendary Dave Cobb, the new record features some new additions to the band, including Benji Shanks, Preston Holcomb and the Black Bettys, with guest appearances from Jamey Johnson and Warren Haynes.
