Last updated 11th Jun 2021
Georgian southern rock ensemble Blackberry Smoke have performed an acoustic set exclusively for Planet Rock.
Celebrating the recent release of their seventh studio album ‘You Hear Georgia’, which dented the UK album chart Top 20, Blackberry Smoke played rousing stripped-back versions of trio of sublime songs from the record – title track 'You Hear Georgia', 'Hey Delilah' and 'Ain’t The Same.’
Alongside these three songs, Blackberry Smoke also performed ‘Run Away From It All’ from 2018 album ‘Find A Light’ plus a brilliant cover of Aerosmith’s 1987 song ‘Hangman Jury.’
