Blackberry Smoke Just Might Save Rock & Roll

Blackberry Smoke I just recently stumbled on these guys on youtube and was completely blown away! Some people say “rock is dead” but that simply ain’t  true. I admit it was starting to look bleak, but Blackberry Smoke could be the ones to save it! They are one of the best new bands I’ve heard […]

Iconic Hummingbird Acoustic on a Budget

I went through everything and was largely unimpressed with 2 exceptions: as expected the Epiphone Hummingbird Pro and the Dove Pro.
