Blackberry Smoke are to celebrate their 25th anniversary with a best-of collection containing tracks from across their career. The album, which is scheduled to arrive on November 14 via the band's 3 Legged Records, will also include two previously unreleased songs, We Got Company and Southern Child (Live). Full tracklist below.

In addition to marking the band's quarter-century, the album will celebrate the legacy of late drummer Brit Turner, who died in March 2024.

"Rattle, Ramble and Roll: The Best of Blackberry Smoke - Volume One is a collection of material that has been the heartbeat of our journey," says frontman Charlie Starr. "We put together a representation of songs that captures a small part of what Blackberry Smoke is. Next year marks our 25th anniversary as a band, and it just feels right to celebrate by looking back at where we’ve been.

"We want to honour our brother Brit and the music and memories we made with him along with the legacy he left. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for riding along with us all these years. We couldn’t have done a single mile without you. Here’s to the past, the present, and the road ahead.”

Rattle, Ramble and Roll: The Best of Blackberry Smoke - Volume One is available to pre-order now. The band are currently on the road in the US on the Rattle, Ramble and Roll Tour, which ends with three shows at the band's own Cancun High Tide Getaway festival in Mexico. Full dates below.

Blackberry Smoke formed in Atlanta, Georgia, in 2001, and released their first album, Bad Luck Ain't No Crime, two years later.
