There was something magical in the water supply in Jacksonville Fl in the 60’s and 70’s. Lynyrd Skynyrd, Blackfoot, Molly Hatchet, .38 Special...

I moved to Jax in 74, left in 86. Some of my fondest memories are of things like catching Mudcrutch (early tom petty) in a little off campus dive bar in Gainsville. As well as the pride that we took in our local bands hitting it big.

Yeah. Ricky Medlocke played drums on the original Muscle Schoal's demo of *Freebird* (released in 1998 on *Skynyrd's First: The Complete Muscle Shoals Studio* album. Molly Hatchet released a live version of them doing *Freebird* on their first Live album. That was their tribute after their plane went down.

These guys are from Jacksonville, Fl. They were popular in the early 80's during the height of Southern Rock. Everyone here in NE Florida knew them. They were my very first concert I ever went to when I was a teenager. The singer, Rickey Medlocke grew up with his grandfather next door to my Uncle Leo. This song played in just about every car in my school parking lot. It was all about being out touring on the road and being lonely and missing home and family. This song is incredibly nostalgic.

kevin wallis We all remember, who were with, what was going on. It plays back like a film in my head. The good ole days!

First heard it in 1982 when Blackfoot toured Switzerland. Have been a fan ever since and can't get enough of Rick Medlocke's voice. What a band. My absolute favorite Southern Rock band ever. And not only that, one of my favorite bands ever regardless of genre. "Highway Song" is a killer tune, but Blackfoot never wrote a bad song ever.

I saw Blackfoot in concert in 1980 in North Carolina with 38 special, awesome concert it was out doors in a field! OOOO RAH!

Here's a fun story: The bassist for Blackfoot was Lennie Stadler, who I knew as *Dr.* Lennie Stadler. He wound up going to Duke Divinity School at Duke University for his Masters of Divinity and then on to Asbury Seminary for his doctorate. *Easily* one of the most gifted preachers I ever heard. He had a rough go of things in 2006-2007, fell back into alcoholism after being sober for about thirty years and then got clean again. Sadly, he was diagnosed with cancer and he passed away in 2012, but he and I used to see each other at the Showmar's in Pineville, N.C., pray together and talk ministry-related topics. It meant a lot to me as a young preacher to have a guy that I could count on for good advice. Lennie was a good, good man, and the world is a poorer place without him in it.

I loved how great he rocked the bass line absolutely amazing

Black Foot rocks. I remember first hearing this in my highschool days, would pull into the parking lot with it cranked up on my car stereo. Try train train another excellent song by them. Keep rocking and God bless .

Possibly the most melodic solo ever. Back in the mists of time the live in Zurich version was the first thing I saw on KZread.

Ricky Medlocke was the lead guitarist with Blackfoot. He played drums (1971-72) on the Lynryd Skynyrd's demo album that was released in 1998's *Skynyrd's First: The Complete Muscle Shoals Studio album* (previous was released in 1978 as *Skynyrd's First ... and Last* {shorter album since Skynyrd re-recorded some tracks for their debut album} after the plane crash that took the lives of 4 members of the band). Skynyrd shelved that album and recorded *Pronounced...* instead. Ricky Medlocke left before *Pronounced...* & rejoined Skynyrd in 1996 as a one of the 3 lead guitarist. The band also had Hughie Thomasson as a guitarist. He fronted the Southern rock band *The Outlaws.* They played some jamming road songs like: *Green Grass & High Tides" *There Goes Another Love Song* and my personal favourite: *Ghost Riders in the Sky.*

If you listen to the lyrics this is really a sad song. He's talking about being on continually touring and how much he misses his girl. And how she's feeling hurt by him always being gone all the time. Think about the bands in the 70's and how they would tour for 180-200 days out of the year just trying to make a living. Blackfoot is one of the best Southern Rock bands.

Dreams by Molly

Can't remember when I first heard this song but it became one of my favorites immediately! Skynyrd Molly hatchet & Blackfoot got the formula for this style of music from the Allman bros. Southern fried rock ... It's the best!!!

I have no idea when the last time was I heard this song, just as good now as it was way back then. Thank you, Ty, for doing this one. I remember driving to this song, & I DID get a ticket for it. I was flat out flying down the interstate. I remember the police officer walked up to my window, I turned the volume down a little, it was still going, and he just smiled at me. He said "I understand". & he did not give me a ticket for wreckless driving, which I deserved.

I saw them perform this live at University of South Florida Soccer field in Tampa in 1977. Around 16. I don't believe I heard it on the radio until after I saw the live. This song reminds me of my youth and carefree days. I believe the ticket was $5 back then. Also, the Tampa Outlaws were at this performance as well.

Please react to the song "i'd love to change the world" by Alvin Lee and Ten Years After. This song is from 1971 and is still relevant today. Alvin Lee was an amazing singer/songwriter/musician. Some songs live on and on...

Love, love this song even if it was a decade before my time. Love his reaction, he’s been missing out on a great song for so long.

I was in 9th grade. Had a friend 4 years older than me. He got me into rock when I was 4th, 5th grade. Never looked back.

Don't know about now but at the time I think this was classified as country rock. Kinda like Marshall Tucker, Allman Bros., Tom Petty, .38 Special, etc. Always loved that style. Child of the 70's.

This was on our road trip playlist, when I drove from Kansas City to Orlando. Good times!

Love this song. I saw them in 1980 with Nazareth. Rickey's grandfather Shorty came out to play harp on "Train, Train" and killed it. They also did a good job on "I Got A Line On You" which is also on the "Strikes" album.

Their first album, "No Reservations" came with little fanfare, but had awesome music as well. This album "Strikes" was their big one. I was in a small town nightclub near me in 1979 that closed at midnight. Blackfoot was travelling through and came to party about closing time. We locked up and played foosball till 3 am. Great dudes.

One of my first concerts.. Blackfoot opening for Frank Marino Mahogany Rush

Hello, I'm Nobody, and I'm answering your question. lol. I was 22 years old, stationed at Fort Carson, Colorado, with the 179th ASH, a Chinook unit, and I was first introduced to this group in the barracks. Disco was ruling the air waves (not my cup o' tea), and I remember one of the guys in the barracks playing this on his turntable. It's a good song, good band, great example of Southern Rock, and a great alternative to Disco. They had a very good three album stretch and "Strikes" was the first to really grab our attention. I put Blackfoot in the same category as Atlanta Rhythm Section, another Southern Rock group, that hit their stride around the same time. Both groups had outstanding guitar work, solid drummers, and big hits.

Look up this song live Blackfoot from Zurich to really appreciate the musicianship. Always loved this but the live video blew me away.

Thanks for the Nashville mention, growing up when this came out with my 1976 Pontiac Grand Prix flying down interstate 40 blasting Jensen Triaxials on a Pioneer stereo with Highway song and train train on full blast , o the memories, thanks for that.

This song takes me back to when I was a young teenager watching Wolfman Jack on Midnight Special and Don Kirshner's Rock Concert on my best friend's television we had set up in his back yard. Thank you for bringing it back to me.

Blackfoot , IMO, is the most underrated Southern Rock band.

Blackfoot's signature jam/ballad. Another sing I really like of theirs is Train, Train, which is quintessential southern boogie at its finest.

Have always LOVED this song!! I was in college when I first heard this and Train Train!! You have to do that one! Skynyrd, Molly Hatchet, Allman Brothers! Those were the days...

I saw them in the70's with REO Speedwagon. Great show. Most of the music you are listening to I saw live in the day at Winterland in San Francisco. Molly Hatchet is a great choice. 70's were the best for jamming music.

been listening to this song since the 70's, and it has gotten better thru the years.

Met my wife at this concert. Blackfoot was touring with Def Leopard at the time.

My wife's nephew Wes was the drummer for them for a couple years until the bat virus stopped the tour.

I ALWAYS check my speedometer after this song is over and I’m ALWAYS speeding!! Great tune from a great album!

Saw thes guys in the early 80s with sammy hagar..red rocker tour ..excellent rocknroll..mrm,ya gotta check out sammy..high energy.

I saw them in Boise Idaho. In 82. The opening band was someone I hadn't heard of. It was Def Leppard!

The founder of the band, who now plays with Skynyrd, Ricky Medlocke, works out at the same Planet Fitness as me. He always where's a black hoodie and headphones

Love this song. It came out many years ago. I had waist long hair, (back when I had hair) Moonshine in one hand joint in the other. Party song man, I won't trade those memories for nothing.

This song takes me back to a time in my childhood that I had forgotten.

GREAT" NATIVE" AMERICAN BAND! "NATIVE" AMERICAN BLOOD!💪🇺🇸FIRST HEARD THIS SONG AFTER MOVING BACK TO THE LOWER 48 IN 1979!✌THIN LIZZY "STILL IN LOVE WITH YOU" LIVE IN DUBLIN 1975👍✌

I absolutely ♥️ this song! For my magic man, Michael. You may be gone from this earth, but the Love remains!! 1974-2011.

Love Blackfoot.

Great song, FYI Ricky Medlock, guitarist in Blackfoot was in Lynyrd Skynyrd in the beginning and I believe he played on Skynyrd’s first album.

During college - the first warm spring day, opened our dorm windows, put the speakers on the ledge and would crank this/Train Train

Blackfoot is a awesome band to see live.

Every time I put this on I listen to the whole Album

Ricky Medlocke was in Lynyrd Skynyrd, but as a drummer!!!

Life on the highway taking is toll and great bands sing about it

Oh I really like this, never heard it before, song or band. I know exactly what you mean Mr MRM, its that feeling you get when you go for it. It makes me think of a holiday I had years ago in Italy, my sister and I were horse riding through a little wooded area, having to duck down on the horse to avoid branches, just doing a gentle trot and then we came to a clearing and the horses went into a full on gallop, it was exciting, exhilarating and a bit scary at the same time, loved it, got the juices flowing and the heart racing

You must understand these guys, Lynard Skynard , .38 Special and Molly Hatchet all came from the same town and were friends and family members.

After bands deaths, i knew surviving members started bands. Got to see them on tour here in CLEVELAND. GO TRIBE !!!!!! HERE WE GO BROWNIES, HERE WE GO, WHOO-WHOO !

This is a great song, basically it's about being in a band on the road and missing those loved one's that are most important in your life.

"Highway Song" Well, another day, another dollar After I've sang and hollered Oh, it's my way of living, and I can't change a thing Another town is drawing near Oh, baby, I wish you were here But the only way I can see you, darlin', is in my dreams It's a highway song You sing it on and on On and on Well, the hurt you leave behind It's the hurt that's on your mind Oh, and last night's show took its toll on me Well the city lights fly by me As I lay my body in my bed Oh, and dreams of you dance through my head It's a highway song You sing it on and on On and on Highway song Is as lonely As the road I'm on Oh Oh Oh It's those big wheels are ready to roll We've be flyin' high and so low Lord, and all this madness, ain't crazy as it seems Everywhere they stop and stare I'm just a stranger on this road Oh, I stand alone Only in my dream Highway song You sing it on and on On and on Highway song Is as lonely As the road I'm on (Well, highway song) Highway song You sing it on and on On and on Highway song Is as lonely As the road I'm on

I love the Strumming on those strings. Great song ty .Amazing. 🎸 Uk.

Blackfoot was from Jacksonville

This song brings back memories of high school. I saw Blackfoot in concert and had the chance to meet guitarist Ricke Medlocke at a record store. He signed autographs, was so nice and performed on the harmonica the intro to their song "Train, Train". Which I think is another one of theirs you need to give a listen to.

Nice analogy. Gosh, I've known this song since it first came out. Black foot, Molly Hatchet, Jackyl, Stevie Ray Vaughn... I might have albums from every one of the artists and groups you've covered.

Saw them in Gadsden Alabama with Mother Finest, Jackson Highway and Nantucket. It was so hot the fire department sprayed the crowd with water. You need to check out Mother Finest song. Piece of the Rock. Its Amazing

Shorty Medlock gave me his harmonica after a show in Jacksonville. Worked a concert with them and others. Spent the whole weekend jamming and partying. Never forget . Great guys.

My First Concert Ever I saw Blackfoot and Molly Hatchet

Nice choice man! Kudos to those who suggested this one. YES! Love the reaction!

I too suggest Train Train.. The whole album is excellent! The lead singer and guitar player is Rick Medlocke who has been playing with Lynard Skynard. He was an on again off again member of the original Lynard Skynard..

Got to see them in Washington State..Spanaway I believe, 78 maybe..long time ago...they were warm up band for Nazereth..had never even heard of them..they killed it..played this album.

I swear, I was thinking you weren't like this song, till the singer hit that high note, and you scratched your head. Then I was like, "Yeah!, He's diggin' it!" Love this song!

Forever Rock, from the poetry book “Agree to Disagree: My Thoughts, Opinions and Heart”. “I Sold My Soul for Rock and Roll” Was a phrase created, long ago. It seems that the phrase maybe gone. But Rock and Roll, still lives on. For me, Rock and Roll is in my soul, And I will never let it go. From the musicians of the past, to the musicians of today. It makes me feel good, when I hear them play. The electric guitar is what does it for me. The sound reaches into my soul and sets me free. When it is played, soft and slow. I feel it in my heart, deep below. It makes me forget whatever pain I might feel. The feeling of pain is no longer real. When it is played, hard and fast. The energy that I get can last and last. It gives me plenty of energy, to do what I want to do. When I hear it playing, I feel like there is nothing that I cannot do. As long as I hear the sound of Rock. I can definitely Rock around the clock. I will Rock twenty-four hours a day. I will play it loud; I don’t care what other people might say. If it’s too loud, then you’re too old. It’s not good for my hearing, so I have been told. If I lose my hearing, I won’t give a damn. I will feel the vibrations with my hands. I will keep on Rocking till the day I die. And I know that I will be Rocking as my soul floats into the sky. So, keep on Rocking long after I am gone. And Rock Will Forever, Live On and On. www.amazon.com/Agree-Disagree-Thoughts-Opinions-Heart/dp/B089CN7WBR/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=poetry+book+agree+to+disagree&qid=1594320289&sr=8-2

I hit "like" as soon as I started the video, because your reactions are always good and I love this song!!

Great song to listen too while driving late at night around the park roads on Mount Desert Island, Maine.

Dude this entire album is the chit.... "Train Train" was our high school basketball warmup song in the early 80s.... my favorite tune on this album is...."Road Fever".... check it.... great channel cuz!

Seen Blackfoot in early 80’s. He did a tribute to Ronnie Van Zant when he sang this one. Ricky Medlocke played with LYNYRD SKYNYRD on and off. Mostly in the studio with the original Skynyrd. Liked Train Train better

Southern Rock always did well up here in Connecticut. Still does. Lots of bands used to play this one.

I was in the 6th grade when my brother (6 years older than me) brought this album home. He and his band practiced in our basement (we had cool parents), and practiced a few songs from this LP. HOWEVER, Skynyrd is what they practiced the most. There was a time that I actually grew tired of Free Bird. 😮 I love Free Bird again, though. Incidentally, Ricky Medlocke, lead singer and guitarist actually was an original member of Skynyrd before they were famous and rejoined the band in the 90s. He’s still with them, as they complete their LAST OF THE STREET SURVIVORS tour this year.

I first heard this song & album on 8-Track back when it was released in 1979 in a co-worker's car. I was instantly hooked because of the guitarwork, melody, vocals and every song from this release on 'Strikes' is amazing. Every time I hear anything from this brings me back to those days when I first heard it as a teenager and makes me smile. :-)

It's been a long time since I've heard this but I really like it!

This was one of my favorite songs when it came out!

Met these guys in atl. Even shorty medlocke was there great guys. Rickey medlocke us to come to the crystal palace on the southside of atl. Late 70's, early 80's. Anyone remember the place? Seems like it was on stewart ave.

Powerful. Soulful. Sincere. Textured. A great song, and an insightful analysis.

How’d I miss this…..well Train Train- if you haven’t- great song by Blackfoot. Buckle up- that’s a ride too! ❤️🎼❤️🔥I got a speeding ticket, facts. I’m at the end. I wasn’t the first time. 🤘😎❤️🔥

This is my days of the good times...Thanks for sharing.....

I'm 50 and the youngest of nine kids, so, of course, other than the top-40 that came out of the old AM radio in the kitchen back in the day, my first influences were the 8-tracks and 78 LP's that my older siblings played, and this was one. And Ty, to answer the rest of your question, so many of those old songs before all the "cookie-cutter" stuff made in every genre today had to be catchy on its OWN accord, and by the musical/vocal/entertainment abilities of the band themselves. This is one of those great mergers of all. Keep it up!

First time i heard blackfoot was in the 70's lot of stuff has happened since then, lot of great music has come along to, but yeah i know what youre saying about when the traffic breaks and it becomes "hammer time"

Rockin that bass line

Check out "Green Grass and High Tides" by The Outlaws, "Dreams I'll Never See" (versions by The Allman Brothers as well as Molly Hatchet). Oh, "Can't You See" by Marshall Tucker Band too.

Modern Renaissance Man , Nice take on the song. I live in the city but still go to the small rural town I grew up in to visit my Mom and Grandma. As soon as the city traffic clears so does my head. Music up, pedal down.

Memories! Riding with the top down at night

Man, I used to listen to this as a kid, and loved it. Thanks for reminding me of it.

Some great southern rock!

This is on my driving playlist..when I am driving in the desert here in Arizona to cali or vegas..just like the songs''Hotel California'', '' Free Ride'', ''Living in the U.S.A.'', ''Never Been Any Reason'',''Why Can't We Be Friends'' and ''Highway Star'' are driving must for me..LOL

I love this song more than I can explain
