Like their Native American ancestors before them, the members of Blackfoot must have known what it felt like to be exiled from their homeland. Only, rather than being forced into an Indian reservation, the world's first all-Native American hard rock band found itself trying to scrape together a good wage across the pond, where U.K. audiences couldn't seem to get enough of its uniquely metallic, Skynyrd-derived Southern rock. Despite experiencing diminishing returns in the good ol' U.S. of A., all three of their studio albums for Atco had been warmly embraced here, leading to nearly two years of incessant touring. Such acclaim eventually led to demands for a live album, which the band duly recorded with the help of the Rolling Stones' mobile studio during a three-month jaunt across the British Isles in 1982. Named Highway Song Live after the band's biggest (and most "Freebird"-like) hit, it was recorded in the spirit of the classic live albums of the '70s, with explosive performances of such Blackfoot favorites as "Road Fever," "Every Man Should Know (Queenie)," "Gimme, Gimme, Gimme," and the title track. Additional highlights include a couple of supercharged blues numbers ("Rollin' and Tumblin'," "Trouble in Mind") and frontman Rick Medlocke's friendly rapport with the audience. Sadly, the album wasn't issued in America until 20 years later -- long after Blackfoot's bright promise had faded into anonymity. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia
Blackfoot was a southern-rock band from Jacksonville, Florida, lead by singer/guitarist Rick Medlocke. Between 1975 & 1985 they released numerous albums, three of which are now making their worldwide CD debuts on Wounded Bird Records. 'Highway Song - Live' was originally issued in 1982 as a German import only and has been an extremely hard to find collectors item ever since.
Blackfoot: Rick Medlocke (vocals, guitar); Charlie Hargrett (guitar); Greg T. Walker (bass, background vocals); Jakson Spires (drums, background vocals).
Personnel: Rick Medlocke (vocals, guitar); Greg T. Walker (vocals, bass guitar); Jakson "Thunderfoot" Spires (vocals, drums); Charlie Hargrett (guitar).

Blackfoot is simply one of the best live shows you could have seen back-in- the-day. We say them warm up for somebody in San Bernardino back in the late '70s. Sorry could not tell you who the headliner was - we we're blown away by this little band that took the stage and took over the Swing Auditorium. been a fan ever since - if you go overseas they're many other live shows on CD. Rick Medlocke was born to front a rock band.

 Real Southern Rock.
If late seventies southern rock live is what your looking for, this is a top notch act. Though their period in history was short, what songs they did record were excellent. If you buy one Blackfoot CD, you would not sell yourself on this one.

We saw these guys in San Bernardino back on the "Strikes" tour - someone had broken into thier trailer and ripped off their gear, playing with rented equipment - this was one of the most remembered shows I'd seen then or since. Ricky Medlocke is a born frontman and awesome live - the show was great and their live recordings (most of them) provide a snapshot of their live presence. If it's Blackfoot and it's live - buy it, enjoy it and play it loud.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No  IGreat Southern Boogie Blues
I had the opportunity to see Blackfoot on this tour. The band was at it's prme kiking out great energetic southern blues. Unlike bands such as, Molly Hatchet and Lynard Skynard whose overwhelming dual lead guitars were hard on the ears at concerts, Blackfoot was able to keep it simple and play on the band's talents. The Album has some wonderful songs, starting with "Gimme, Gimmme, Gimmme", "Fly Away" and "Dry County" It's weaknesses are "Everyman Should Know (Queenie) and "Trouble In Mind". But the concert comes to a great conclusion with astounding live versions of "Train, Train" and "Highway Song". I have always loved the mix of Ricky "Rattlesnake" Medlocke's creative blues writing with the rythm section of Blackfoot Indians: Greg T. Walker on bass and Jackson "Thunderfoot" Spires on the drums. These two musician's have been highly underrated and deserve their moment in the spotlight.

THE COMPLETE GEFFEN RECORDINGS contains: WILD THINGS RUN FAST (1982)/DOG EAT DOG (1985)/CHALK MARK IN A RAIN STORM (1988)/NIGHT RIDE HOME (1991). Includes
an 82-page booklet complete with lyrics, photos and artwork plus an introduction by Joni Mitchell.
For starters, hunters should not get their hopes up about any unreleased material on this box set -- there are exactly three cuts, two are unfinished demo versions of songs already on their respective albums -- "Two Grey Rooms" and "Good Friends" -- as well as an unreleased cover version of Dylan's "It's All Over Now Baby Blue." But that's fine, just fine. The bottom line is that these records haven't been available in some time due to the profound folly of the accountants who run the Geffen imprint who wouldn't know art if it were hanging in their living rooms. The box is stunning, gorgeous even in its earth-tone glory with a brilliant inset photograph by former husband and producer Larry Klein. There are poignant photos, the albums in their original sleeves, a completely searing unapologetic set of liner notes from Mitchell, reproductions of paintings, and more. ...
