Blackberry Smoke have appeared on the US TV show Quarry in the week that their new album, Like An Arrow, is released. The band perform their cover of the Allman Brothers’ version of One Way Out, a song originally recorded by blues legends Sonny Boy Williamson and Elmore James.
Quarry is based on the novels of Max Allen Collins, and follows the story of a Vietnam veteran who returns to Memphis in 1972 and is drawn into a world of crime. Like David Simon’s New Orleans drama Treme, music plays an important part in the series, with artists like Otis Redding, Van Morrison, Booker T. & The MGs, Waylon Jennings, Big Star and T-Rex appearing on the soundtrack.
Recently Blackberry Smoke appeared on Later… With Jools Holland, while July saw the release of the band’s video for Waiting For The Thunder. The band are currently on tour, and will return to the UK next March (dates below). Like An Arrow is on sale now.
