  Never seen or heard a negative comment about Charlie. Never. He is such a positive guy and as genuine as they come.

  Charlie and the Band have been overlooked for too long and in recent years have finally been getting the recognition they deserve. Charlie is under rated as a player and should be up in the ranks of GREAT players.

  Love Mr. Starr! He is by far, one of the greatest guitar players and all-around good dude. So gracious for his fans, treats them like brothers/sisters. The SMOKE is where it's at!

  I try not to make heroes out of celebrities, but Charlie is definitely someone I admire. I’m sitting here fully listening/half watching this as I’m doing my masters homework in Social Work. I’m am zero percent musically inclined. But I LOVE MUSIC. I fell in love hard for Blackberry Smoke in 2021. I wanted to see a show at Red Rocks when we were going there for vacation. I got on and said oh I’ve heard of that band, and opening for them was the Allman Betts Band. I was like heck yeah. Well I downloaded all the music for both bands and hand my mind blown. THEN we went to the show and fell even more in love. We’ve seen them 5 times since then, with two of those being front row in the pit. Blackberry Smoke has become therapeutic for me when I’m having a bad day and about to break. There is not a song I don’t love. Not one. That never happens for me. <br><br>We watched them at our local venue TempleLive in Ft. Smith, AR night before last. I had not been keeping up with social media, and was unaware Brit was not on the road with them. I was deeply saddened, but his fill-in did a tremendous job. AMAZING SHOW. Again, I stayed off social media as it is something I vowed to do on New Years….only to learn just an hour or so ago that Brit had passed yesterday. Man that hit me hard. I’m a big bearded guy and I’m fascinated by the skill of drumming, so of course I gravitated to him. <br><br>Fly High Mr. Turner, you will be missed but your beat will continue to keep us all going. 🥁

  He seems like the kinda guy who would be first to laugh at himself. That’s so refreshing to see. He seems like just a normal guy. Excellent interview.

  Charlie is an ace player but the Blackberry Smoke songs are what makes him a classic

  Growing up in LaGrange just over the river from Charlie, I have been lucky to see him evolve over the decades into one of the best musicians playing today. Love you Charlie!
