When I was a senior in high school in 79, Blackfoot, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Allman Brothers, Boston, Eagles, Yes, Rush, Peter Frampton, Led Zeppelin and many other great bands were all on the radio 24/ 7. So glad I grew up back then.

Blackfoot, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Molly Hatchet, were all formed in Jacksonville Florida.

The band was formed in 1969 and was named Hammer. During the early spring of the same year, the band, after learning of another band on the West Coast named Hammer, decided to change their name to Blackfoot to represent the American Indian heritage of its members:[3] Jakson Spires (from Oklahoma) had a Cheyenne/French father and a Cherokee mother;[4] Rickey Medlocke's father was Lakota Sioux[5] and Blackfoot Indian, and his mother's side is Creek/Cherokee, Scottish and Irish; Greg "Two Wolf" Walker is part Eastern (Muskogee) Creek, a tribe recognized by the state of Florida, but not federally. Charlie Hargrett [6] was the only white man of the original, classic line-up. Although they are considered a "southern rock band", they have a great native american flavor to their songs in the drums and Ricky Medlockes vocals. wiki

The "Dueling" guitar sound was popular with "Southern Rock" bands of the era.

We absolutely loved this band when they came over to the UK as support to a few bands like April Wine and Molly Hatchet. They were back soon after headlining all those iconic venues like Hammersmith Odeon. Went down a storm every damn night. The live version of Highway song on record goes on much longer , recorded in England. When they played Reading Rock Festival there were Southern flags everywhere (just in support of their roots , non political). Great to see them on your channel 🙌🙌

They are from Jacksonville, Forida (just like Skynrd) The line up for this album was Ricky Medlocke - lead vocalist/lead guitarist, Charlie Hargett - Rhythm/Lead Guitar, Greg T. Walker - Bass, and Jackson Spires - Drums. So they are absolutely "Southern Rock" Rick Medlocke's Grand Father "Shorty" played the harmonica on the song "Train Train" that you enjoyed the other day.

It seemed that every Southern Rock band of the era had an anthem song. This was Blackfoot’s, and IMHO, it is the best anthem song ever, by anyone.

The Outlaws "Hurry Sundown"...Nuff Said.

About ten years ago I had the distinct honor and pleasure of sitting in with former Blackfoot lead guitarist Charlie Hargrett in a couple of local rock shows here in central Florida. One of the nicest and personable celebrities I've ever met, he was still a monster on guitar in his mid 60's.

Southern anthem! We have lived by this song 🎵 for years.

Ever get the feelin that Ricky never got that Lynyrd Skynyrd out of his system? The end of that song calls back a little Freebird only bigger and much much better. He doesn't just string bend and noodle like the end of Freebird the man SHREDS and absolutely kills it, yet what song gets all the attention, go figure. It's a shame these guys don't get the recognition they deserve. Thanx for getting back to them so quick. I couldn't wait for you to get to it because I knew you'd love it. Peace

Love this channel for introducing some FIRE tracks to an old man for the first time. Damn that rocked. ✌️

Barry, his picture is right there. The eldest or oldest brother told him, "this can all be taken away in an instant".

It doesn’t get any more southern than this. Skynyrd’s Free Bird with its blistering back and forth extended guitar outro most certainly laid out the blueprint for Highway Song. The Outlaws took note, too. Green Grass and High Tides, released a few years earlier, was their “Free Bird.” After a few verses (and tension building), the vocals take a back seat and all hell breaks loose to the finish line. Then you exhale.

You could pick ANY song on that album and it would be FIRE!!

This song starts off like driving in the city slow then it host the open road and gets faster

One of the best songs ever in my lifetime!!!!! Since I was a teenager I have always listened to it!!!!! I'm 53 now and it will never get old!!!!!!! Amazing to listen to on my way to my sons house in Texas!!! I live in central Alabama so it is about a 13 hour drive down some old 2 way highways

"Green Grass and High Tides" is just legendary.

From wikipedia Blackfoot is an American Southern rock band from Jacksonville, Florida, formed in 1969. Though they primarily play with a Southern rock style, they are also known as a hard rock act.[1] The band's classic lineup consisted of guitarist and vocalist Rickey Medlocke, guitarist Charlie Hargrett, bassist Greg T. Walker, and drummer Jackson Spires.

Man, thing song really touches my soul and always brings tears to my eyes there at the end. "but I stand alone, on the edge of a dream."

Marshall Tuckers "24 Hours at a Time" and "Fire on the Mountain" - now there's some more great highway driving music.

The southern rock guitarists were every one amazing. Allman Bros. Lynyrd Skynyrd. Outlaws. Marshall Tucker. Blackfoot. 38 Special.

The first two Blackfoot albums No Reservations and Flying High, are kinda underrated but real good. I own them both on Vinyl.

For your own enjoyment, you guys should see them doing "Train, Train" live! It will definitely get you hyped!! Ricky Medlocke, the lead singer and guitarist is on fire in that video! By now, someone has probably mentioned he is very closely associated with Lynyrd Skynrd, both in the beginning of the band, and has been in the 2nd version of the band since they reformed. He is a Blackfoot Indian, hence the name of the band. You guys have now done 2 of my favorite songs of all-time, both by Blackfoot!! Yay for me!! Lawd knows it couldn't come at a better time, things have been pretty rocky here at my Appalachian trailer park, I really needed this! 🙏 God bless you and you adorable ❤️ family! I've been watching the next drumming legend in training too, lol! Luca has definitely got a musical ear!

Great reaction! Another good jam from Blackfoot is 'I got a line on you'

Blackfoot is a great band. Got to see them live in '83.

Another great choice. BLACKFOOT is badass. Next listen to their song Road Fever. More Blackfoot.

Ricky Medlocke was an original member of Skynyrd.He had a difference of opinion with the direction of the band.He started a new band(Blackfoot) and they became famous.They toured for years and did well.Ricky returned to Skynyrd,after the reforming of Skynyrd.

The next song of theirs should be 'Rattlesnake Rock'n'Roller". Starts off with a banjo intro then changes to a piano driven rocker Jay will love. These guys still do live concerts and still kick it !

Saw Blackfoot in Oct 2021 Columbia SC and they still have tons of energy. Was a great show, in a small venue and when they were done, they stepped off the stage, no security, and hung out with the crowd. Wish more bands did that

as mentioned, several of the members of Blackfoot also played with Lynryd Skynyrd during the early 70's. I believe the co-founder of Blackfoot, Rickey Medlocke, is the lead singer on this song. Played drums with Skynyrd. Medlocke, born in Jacksonville, which is the home base of Skynyrd, has played with later renditions of Skynyrd from the mid 90's to some of their last shows a few years ago.

Rickey Medlocke (born February 17, 1950) is an American musician, best known as the frontman/guitarist for the Southern rock band Blackfoot and a member of Lynyrd Skynyrd. During his first stint with Lynyrd Skynyrd from 1971 to 1972, he played drums and sang lead on a few songs that would initially be released on 1978's "First and Last". Medlocke would rejoin Blackfoot in 1972 and later returned to Lynyrd Skynyrd in 1996 as a guitarist with whom he continues to tour and record today. Being of Native American ancestry, specifically Lakota Sioux and Cherokee, Medlocke was inducted into the Native American Music Hall of Fame in 2008.

Keb Mo "Dirty Lowdown and Bad ", "Am I Wrong ", "She Just Wants to Dance ".

Saw Blackfoot in early 80’s in Florida. To cram more into small arena, entire seating was standing room only. Nobody cared because we were all too busy rockin out to that incredible rock. You guys played the first two of (IMHO) their three best songs. The third (again IMHO) is Fox Chase and it’s my favorite. I love the country harmonica followed by the hard driving rock riff. Everyone instantly turned into an expert air guitarist. Who the hell needed a chair.

You two are so cute! I LOL'ed when you said it was a sit-around-the campfire song, because I KNEW what you were about to hear!!! Love y'all!

Their『HIGHWAY SONG LIVE』 is one of the great live albums. “GOOD MORNING” is high energy tune.

Yes another Jacksonville Fl band! I still have a few pics of Blackfoot opening for Nugent in '79 when this album came out. This was Blackfoot's 'Free Bird' , sort of. Start off slow then end with all guitars tearing the stage apart. Much longer live. Thank u for this one too. 'Fox Chase' from their next album is banger.

Definitely has that beautiful southern rock sound that captures you immediately. The vocals are outstanding and the guitars 🎸 so pleasant to the ears, with such great sentiments. Outstanding tune. Great reaction. Buckets of Maple Syrup love from Canada ❤️ ❤️ 🇨🇦🇨🇦

The lead guitar on this is Ricky Medlock. He was a founding member of Skynyrd but left before their 1st record deal. After the plane crash Ricky rejoined the band

Great reaction! Blackfoot was one of my favorites back in HS. The southern rock bands from Jacksonville were all friends and all interrelated. Blackfoot's Rickey Medlocke (the lead singer and lead guitarist) grew up in Jacksonville with Ronnie Van Zant and the Skynyrd guys. Rickey's grandfather, Shorty Medlocke, was one of the inspirations for Skynyrd's "Ballad of Curtis Loew". Rickey actually was in Skynyrd as the drummer for a while in the early 70's before the first Skynyrd album came out. He wrote or co-wrote 6 songs that they recorded in the Muscle Shoals studio. Thost tapes were rejected by the record companies, but later released after the Skynyrd plane crash first as a subset of the tapes on "Skynyrd's First... and Last" album, then in the 90's, the whole muscle shoals album was released. Some people claim that Rickey was "just a studio musician" for them at that time, but how many bands pay money to a studio to go in and record the songs written by the studio musician??? None. Early Skynyrd had Larry Junstrom (38 Special's bass player) as their bass player. After that, Greg T Walker (Blackfoot's bass player) was also in Skynyrd at the time when Rickey was drummer for Skynyrd. 38 Special's female backup singer is Dale Krantz Rossington, Gary Rossington's wife. Rickey came back to Skynyrd in the 90's as their lead guitarist, along with Hughie Thommason from the Outlaws. As your next Blackfoot reaction, I'd suggest Diary of a Workingman or Left Turn on a Red Light. Both are phenomenal.

If you say Oom-A-chuck-a hockey puck over and over you'll get the groove for that gritty low end bass line, at 5:46 on when the song gets fast.

My favorite by them 🔥❤

You guys make me cry tears of joy. The way you appreciate songs and your reaction to them is just fabulous. Keep up the great work.

You get the feeling that they faded it out because they just couldn't stop the jam. Such a killer track. Glad you guys loved it.

So proud to be from Jacksonville. The home of Blackfoot and so many other great acts. Lynyrd Skynyrd, Molly Hatchet, 38 Special, Shinedown, Limp Bizit, and many others. I would love yall to react to a current act by the name of JJ Grey.
