BIO American rock band Blackberry Smoke - Made up of Charlie Starr (vocals, guitar), Paul Jackson (guitar, vocals), Richard Turner (bass, vocals), Brit Turner (drums) and Brandon Still (keyboards) - has become known for a singular sound indebted to classic rock, blues, country and folk. Since their debut in 2004, the Atlanta-based band has independently released six full-length albums and toured relentlessly, building a strong and loyal community of fans. The band has also had unparalleled success with sales of each of their last albums. In 2015 they released Holding All the Roses, which was the first independently-released record to hit #1 on the Billboard Country album charts in modern history. Like An Arrow followed in 2016, again putting them at #1. 2018 saw the band outsell all other releases with their self-produced Find A Light plus the acoustic accompaniment, The Southern Ground Sessions.

Charlie Starr grew up in eastern Alabama, in a small town bordered by the Chattahoochee River and dotted with textile factories. Like most American mill towns, it took a hit during the dawn of the 21st century, when companies began shipping most of their work overseas. Some residents bounced back by landing new jobs. Others turned to their vices instead, looking for a more temporary fix. “The song has to do with whatever plague is sucking a little town dry,” he says, “whether it’s the meth epidemic or oxy. That kind of thing happens all over America, but it just seems to impact the small towns more. I used to go home to the little town where I grew up, and I’d see people that I went to school with, and I’d think, ‘Oh boy.’ You can see it a mile away, the damage that stuff can do.” Lyrics: Every day ain't my day Easy street don't run my way Cross my heart and hope to spit The gettin's good tell ma what do I get Fool me once fooled you twice By myself, paradise Ring my bell, time will tell Someday soon I'm gonna give em' hell That mountain is too high for me to climb The river is too deep and it's too wide Outta sight outta mind I get this way from time to time Right now it's too high for me to climb Fill my cup wish me luck Turn my frown right side up Pills and meth kiss of death Pawn shop slip is all I've got left That mountain is too high for me to climb The river is too deep and it's too wide You get yours I'll get mine Ain't no hurry got plenty of time Right now it's too high for me to climb
