BLACKBERRY SMOKES, CHARLIE STARR, GIVES ME A GLIMPSE INTO HIS LIFE - FULL EP 'LIFE IN SIX STRINGS' 

I like that that Charlie still acknowledges the Georgia Satelites. One of the greatest bands ever.

I came to a sort of realization while watching the video. Anytime a video with Charlie shows up on my RU-vid, I always click immediately, sit and watch it until end. Why?? It's him,I really dig the dude he is. How he treats others and most importantly his respect for peers and the people he gets inspiration from. Also, lol,I am a total Guitar Nerd and I could literally make your ears smoke from inside out talking about Guitars and Gear.

Kylie is the most charming girl on RU-vid. I mean, she's so so......everything! Love this show. Thanks for sharing, Kylie.

Went to school with Charlie in the 80s at a little Christian school in Alabama. He was several years younger but everbody, including us older kids, loved him. He was such a cool kid who wore a flat top back then and we all loved to rub it. Bubba Lewis is still kicking it around here. His wife is my Mail Lady. Those were some good days to grow up.

Charlie Starr is such a killer musician! Been looking forward to this!

one of the best series about guitar players! continue on!

Greatest Musicians I have ever heard and seen. Absolutely Outstanding Human Beings They have very good hearts. Always looking out for their fellow humans. Always respectful and always always make time for their fans, friends and family. They always spread positivity everywhere they go. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I just saw Blackberry Smoke at the Ryman. They just keep getting better!

This was a great episode! Charlie and the rest of the band are such great people! I had the opportunity to meet them at a few meet and greets over the years. The most memorable was when they opened up for Zac Brown at Madison Square Garden. I asked Brit Turner, their drummer at the time who has sadly passed away recently, how the soundcheck went and how the room sounded. He said "well, you can tell me later"...I asked where they were going to be after the show and he said The Cutting Room. So after the show my wife and I made our way to the Cutting Room and were lucky enough to get there before the velvet rope went up and somehow we talked our way inside.. Maybe they thought we were industry people LOL! Anyway we made to the back room where they had stage set up and Blackberry Smoke and the Zac Brown band played till 3am in the morning...It was one of the greatest live music experiences ever...Seeing that level of talent up close was amazing!

Such a Geniune cool dude. Wish it was an hour or more!

I never told this story... In music circles in WNy and Pa my name is BFG, and that is since 1971. I was 'struggling' into a bar we were going to play. I had a Fender Twin w/JBL's and a mic stand under one arm, then 3 guitars (2 in a double case) under my other arm. I was also 6 foot 4 and just short of 400lbs. The place was packed, and the bartender, who I knew well, shouted at the top of his lungs " Big Fucking Gary"!!! That was it!! For the last 53 years I've also been "BFG", I answer to it like any other name! When Gibbons started using it, I thought oh no! But it's never been a problem!! Cheers.... Peace, bfg

I really Like Starr he is just down to earth and humble and he can talk about so many different things...

Great interview, Charlie is one of the best. I discovered BBS at the beginning of Covid. I heard Waiting for the Thunder being played as some bumper music on one of the local radio stations.

First time hearing of Charlie or this music. Great voice, tunes atmosphere! Seem I hear a lot of musicians are not athletic but gifted musically. I’m on the opposite side were I was gifted athletic abilities and artistic abilities but could not sing and I was born tone deaf. I am thankful for music artists that bring so much joy by their voices, writing skills and strumming.

Totally loved this episode Kylie. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ lovely conversation, very well edited. Can’t wait for the next one !

Another great one Kylie.

One of the best episodes! Charlie makes everyone feels like old friends!

Gotta love Charlie and the fellas!!

I’m a totally fan of the guitarist, singer and human... Charlie is the man !!!

Great musician and person, always a history but seeing them and listening to the new music it gets better and better. Keep up your journey Kylie and about 6 months into my journey to learn the guitar as well.

Enjoyable slice of musical stuff . Bonus acoustic jam at the end , cheers , might get a song out of it 🎸

Kylie Olsson and Charlie Starr and LISS.. Once again a great and interesting episode of my favorite music show.. Thank You!! ❤🎸xx

Charlie Starr is a true country rock star.

Love this series

Great interview. Just so you know Vinyl was never not being pressed. Ot was not a popular but never stopped.

I love this stuff Kylie.........Charlie is a bad ass, don't let him fool ya. I've been a Blackberry Smoker for probably 12 years now. I've seen em twice and the last time was in the HOB in Lake Buena Vista FL on new years eve 2019/2020.......Bishop Gunn opened the show and the hole thing was amazing.

Great Interview! Really like Charlie’s demeanor and his humbleness. It’s not easy being a traveling 🧳 musician and raise a family. Lot of sacrifices. Thank goodness 😅 his wife has been patient all these years. I am relatively a new fan of Blackberry Smoke 💨 and wish them all the best going forward into the future.

This is so special!

Saw Blackberry Smoke at HOB Boston. Their live guitar sounds were maybe the best I've ever heard

That was great

This is the Charlie Starr interview I've always wanted to see. Subscribed. Kylie - outstanding. Can you do the same with Paul Westerberg?

Thanks for this episod of your chanel! I never heard of Charlie Starr but I just love how you make this intervju to be like this interesting. Thanks 👍 . I just wounder if it's possible to get a intervju whith THE MAN all dresst up in black and the man that got me to love a little heavyer music. Richie Blackmore.

another banger -thanks Kylie

Freakn awesome!!!!

Iam 68 been a rock and blues and country fan my whole life and music has played a big roll in my life. Of the list of musicians/ song writers i would love to meet and hang out with for a while Charlie is at the top.

Knew very little about Charlie, but that was a great introduction to him, seems like a lovely guy, will go and find out more about his music. Thanks again for another relaxed and natural chat. But..... when are you meeting Brian May?!

Great video!

Charlie is a Southern gentleman. So glad he always gives the Georgia Sattelites a name check. Their Faces style Rock n Roll seem to get forgotten, Rick Richards was a great guitarist, and Dan Baird is a great singer/ songwriter, even his solo stuff. .....Great Interview !

@kylieolsson I'd love to see you do an episode with Brian head Welch and munky of Korn. They play 7 string guitars. I feel like that's a missing piece to the channel. It would be epic to do one with them .

When i went to concerts in the 70s everyone was my age,I saw Willy Nelson last year and everyone is still my age More handicap seating please LMAO!!

1984 was the end of Van Halen for the generation that first discovered them.

A fun interview. I was hoping for more guitar talk. BTW, I was fortunate to have bought one of the Charlie Starr signature guitars that I now want to sell. Reply if you are interested.

He has a nice orderly home very well un rock n roll

I was referring to the section were he mentions quitting drinking... around age 31. Partially because as he and his partner couldn't live that way...

❤❤❤

Nice. Enjoyed this a lot Kylie and Charlie!

It's good to see Charlie gives Rick Richards credit when it's due

All your show are so beautiful it hard for me to pick my favorite one. I like them all. Keep up the good work and don't forget to do a show with Earl slick. Your fan Marty.

I thought Charlie was cool, but he picked Keith over Stevie Ray Vaughan. Stevie Ray Vaughan was the most humble person I ever had the privilege of meeting, and I’ve met Charlie Starr as well. Nobody played guitar like SRV. Charlie go ask Joe to introduce you to Reese and ask a lot of questions, you “ain’t got the blues anymore”.

What picture is on Charlie’s wall in the beginning

The Allman Brothers were not from Georgia!!! FLORIDA.

Never heard of these guys.

Repeat ?

I love bbs but when Charlie chose Keith over SRV ........... ...

Blues Grass Player? Its Bluegrass 😂

Charlie seems like such an easygoing guy. But did I hear that right he "was 31" and she was "18 years younger"!? Im sure there's a mistake there somewhere.

"I had just turned 30, maybe 31......I had just met Christine, she was 18 years younger.".....Might want to check your math....

Stevie Ray Vaughan or Keith? STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN ALL THE FUCKN WAY! NO contest!😎

Grow up in Ga

MLK Jr was a shitty guitar player… Maybe leave him out of any Southern rock discussion…

💖💖💖💖💖 Absolutely Love Charlie Starr... #BlackberrySmoke is the #BestBandInTheLand 💖💖💖💖💖 I Love @PaulJackson @BrandonStill @BenjiShanks @RichardTurner @TheBlackBettys @BrittTurner 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢 (RestInPeace) 😇😇😇😇😇 They will make your halo shine

Ford or Chevy? And Charlie's driving a Dodge!! lol. FLY ME COURAGEOUS!!
