The album, which sold 19,614 copies in its first week of release (according to SoundScan), also landed at #7 on the Rock Album Chart, and #29 on the Top 200 Album Chart.

“Bottom line, Blackberry Smoke made an excellent album,” says Ken Levitan, Founder and Co-President of Vector Management. “This band works hard, tours consistently and they’ve always had a great relationship with their growing fan base, who in turn are extremely supportive. Along with the support of everyone at Vector and the Rounder and Concord Music Group team, I’m thrilled that everything came together and resulted in great first week sales and a #1 chart position.”
“Blackberry Smoke continues to be one of the most hardworking, accessible, and engaging bands working today. They know their fan base, and who supports them. They are establishing a body of work that will serve as validation for a long time to come, but having a number one album sure helps,” said Trey Wilson of Vector Management.
