Shakin' Hands with the Holy Ghost - Blackberry Smoke - MP3 instrumental karaoke

Hard-rocking Atlanta five-piece Blackberry Smoke formed in the southern US city in 2000 and later made modern history when they became the first independently-released artist to top the Billboard Country album charts. They experienced their first taste of chart action with their third album, 2012's The Whippoorwill – their debut for Zac Brown's Southern Ground label – which came out in August 2012 and hit the Top 40 on Billboard 200 "Shakin' Hands with the Holy Ghost," the twelfth track on the album, is the perfect snapshot of their bluesy, sleaze-drenched Southern rock sound, best enjoyed with a whiskey on the rocks or some 'Tennesse champagne' until you're 'feeling moonshine fine.' Written by lead hellraiser, singer and guitarist Charlie Parr, don't be fooled into thinking this song has anything to do with wholesome church-going folk; "Shakin' Hands with the Holy Ghost," celebrates the unholy act of knocking back buckets of moonshine.
