Highway song another great one
Oh yes!! Beautiful song
YES!!!!
Yep!!
My favorite 🙏
Fox hunt too these guys were natives ,
The harmonica player, Shorty Medlock, is the 72 year old grandfather of the guy who formed the band Ricky Medlock, who was originally a member of Lynyrd Skynyrd.
He’s also the inspiration for the character in the song, Curtis Loew
Actually Ricky Medlock came in later the plane crash.He replaced Allen Collins.He and Gary Rossington were the guitarists from then on...
@@charlesallison146 he was a drummer for them early on before Blackfoot
He was in the band before the debut. He’s on some of the tracks on First and Last. Came back on guitar after the reunion.
Medlocke started Blackfoot before playing with Skynyrd as a drummer. He wasn't the original drummer. That was Burns. He played in studio sessions with them in 71, maybe 72. He reformed Blackfoot in 72. They were all friends and went to school with each other or lived near each other.
In high school, when it came on the radio, the volume had to be maxed out. 50 years later, I still push the volume as high as it will go. Long live Southern Rock!!
Oh another ole fart, kids don't know what they missed!
@@ch3no2killz Annnd in the not so distance future, you will be in my place sayin' the same thing!
Graduated from HS in 79. This is what we listened to and what we rocked to. It was a great time to grow up.
Absolutely was a great time to grow up. I graduated in 76. Saw them in concert.
You are so correct. Class of 79
Class of '83 here. We had the best back then!
Darn right it was!
Class of 78 here and the music was the best! I went to high school in Lodi California and some of the best concerts I went to were the Days on the Green in Oakland CA. Seen Lynard Skynard. Led Zeplin, Judas Priest, Heart, Foreigner, Eagles and many more. Truely the best time for Rock music
I'm 55 and it took decades, young people, reaction channels to realize how fortunate I am and fully appreciate how blessed I was to grow up listening to 70's and 80's rock, southern rock and metal. I saw Blackfoot live in the early 80's. Great show.
59 here!
Same, Same!
Blessed 🤟😎
59 here, I’ve seen everyone you can think of from this era and especially this genre, from the less known like Blackfoot and mountain to the giants. Marshall tucker live back then, wow. And saw the outlaws from a few feet away. Glad to have seen all these acts, live.
100% agree with you as a fellow 55er.
58 here we had great tunes back then today’s music is trash compared to what we had!
56 and I agree. We had so much great music.
Back in 1990 in the same week I saw Blackfoot and Molly Hatchet. Awesome concerts for total cost of 9 bucks for both.
Molly Hatchet. Gotta love emm❤
I saw Molly Hatchet around 2005 at some smaller concert venue in Boonsboro, MD. Legendary.
Saw MH with Billy Squire. Was NOT impressed they were drunk, sounded like a garage band
Saw Molly Hatchet at their prime in the early 1980's. Paid the grand total of $0 with my student ID.
Southern Rock is so good because it's real! They talk about things a working man can relate to!
This entire album KICKS ASS!!!
Every Copy I've ever had be it CD or Vinyl was 'Borrowed' ... & I still have the CD to this day ...
I still have a TDK cassette copy I made back when this album came out!
Yes it does!❤
Long live Southern Rock😊
HELL YEAH !
What is being lost is muscians and singer that HAVE TALENT. Singers with skill and training don't need auto tune... the 60s and 70s produced INCREDIBLE music and the skill and talent it took to get to that level is INSANE. I have had the great fortune of playing with musicians who have reached the top of music industry. These are some of the most kind, caring, folks. If you are playing with them, its NO NONSENSE and you don't get up to set in unless you know the material and you have exception LISTENING SKILLS. That is arguably the one thing that casual listerns of music don't appreciate that LISTENING is probably the single most important thing you do while playing music with others.
@@robschaller9061 look into a band called The Warning, real rock played and sung by true musicians. Their 4th album just came out on 6/28/24.
“ took a left turn on a red light” Blackfoot , Molly Hatchet, Skynyrd, 38 Special , etc,,,,,,,, Jax, Fl. “ THE REAL BOYS FROM THE FL - GA line !
awesome song
It's just raw unedited talent. Straight forward guitar, drums bass and vocals, not relying on computer technology
I was just about to comment that click tracks and auto-tune make today's music sterile because they remove the imperfections and intended nuances that really make the music really come alive.
You are spot on!,..I so miss the musicality of free form jamming! The younger generation will not know unless they listen to music from these bygone eras!.., long live musicianship!
55 year old dude from Memphis Tennessee. I had a big sister who was blind & so listened to lots of rock & roll. I grew up to this stuff thanks to Leigh Ann!
Gimme Gimme Gimme...
Fox Chase...
Rattlesnake Rockin Roller...
Yay, what a memory! Rattle Snake Rock n Roller :)
“Howdy soaks, I mean folks”
Love it :)
Now your playing my rock....Southern! They are from Jacksonville, FL, and the lead singer Ricky Medlock started with Skynyrd and came back to them years later and still plays with them.
When I saw them live back in 1981, bugger I’m old, they were all barefoot on stage.
They rocked!
17 in 1979 when this came out junior in highschool 8 track jamming it in
My 1968 Ford Fairlane 500
in case you missed it, the harmonica in the beginning is simulating the train wheels on the track. to much power and they spin so you have to start over. old trains actually had sand they would put on the rails for traction
The band is named Blackfoot after the Blackfoot Indians. All the member have some Native American blood in them.
Charlie does not...
The Blackfoot Nation was one of the most terrifying tribes of the Great Plains. Warriors!
@@scrapeyhawkins5299 Ricky still maintains his Native American lifestyle. Charlie, no Blood:)
blackfoot strikes is one of those great start to finish records
Yep, without a doubt \m/
I graduated from high school in 1979. I remember the day Train, Train came out. A bunch of us were hanging out in a gravel pit we frequented, drinking beer, listening to music etc, etc... Then one of our good friends comes barelling down the road and comes sliding in sideways then opens his door with this song cranked up on his stereo!! Scott always had a kickass stereo.
Train, Train was an instant hit! Molly Hatchet's "Dreams I'm Never Gonna See" was another southern rock song that compared to this song. We all LOVED Molly Hatchet and we then LOVED Blackfoot!!
Now get in your car and play this as loud as u can, and cruz!!!its the only way to listen to this song,love from Virginia
Yep, I grew up with that. Born and raised in Jacksonville, Florida. A true Floridian, southern girl. Loved all our music. Thanks for sharing!
Grew up on this music and the difference is night and day. We had field parties where local bands would get together and play in an old field. Maybe 3 or 4 different bands at the same time. We could walk around and listen to one then another. 5 dollars cover and you had music beer all night.
I saw Blackfoot with Heart, The Joe Perry Project, and Head East in July 1980. Great outdoor concert!
Rickey, Charlie, Greg and Jackson the original Blackfoot... after every concert you would feel like you were PUNCHED in the mouth! THEY BROUGHT IT!!! 🤘🤘🤘
One of the best harp solos in rock history
So grateful to have grown up in a town with a radio station that just absolutely played the best rock around and they played the shit outta this growing up. So did my brothers, my parents, a few uncles, and one aunt. K-SHE 95 in St. Louis Mo was a powerhouse for this kinda music.
I love watching you find & hear new (old) music...!!! I love trains 🚂 too !!! 🎶🎶🎶🎸✌️😎♥️✨✨✨
Billy Strings does an awesome cover of this song in some of his concerts.
Also, Dolly Parton covered this song on her bluegrass album "The Grass is Blue" with an all-star bluegrass band.
That's the lead singer Ricky Medlock's Grandfather Shorty Medlock on harmonica at the beginning of the song. Also check Hwy Song, & Left Turn on a Red Light
I met the band at a local record store before a concert back in the 80's, nicest group of guys you could ever meet. Rick Medlocke played the harmonica intro for us...talk about being blown away!
Krokus , Blackfoot , Cheap Trick , Joe Perry project and a local all girl band , Lipstick . Summer Jam 83' at New England Dragway , Epping , New Hampshire . THAT was one HELL of a day ... Bring that shit back ,,please !!!!
I attended that concert as well. It really was a great time
I was at a concert in atlanta in 1980 or 81 where Blackfoot and Scorpions opened for Ted Nugent. Blackfoot stole the show. Highway Song and Wishing Well are must listen songs from the Strikes album also Left turn on/at a Red Light.
Nugent and Blackfoot and the 70s damn we're backing up😮
I saw them open for AC/DC in '80. To this day, the loudest band I've ever heard.
Blackfoot
Highway Song

Spending Cabbage
Fly away - it's catchy as hell :)
Doin my job
Don't forget "Train"
38 Special is another Southern Rock band you would like. Hold on Loosely, So Caught Up in You, Rockin' into the Night, Wild Eyed Southern Boys, and many, many others. Donnie Van Zant, one of the singers, was the brother of Ronnie Van Zant of Skynyrd
When I got my first car in 1983 (1976 Olds 442) I found an 8-track of that album wedged in the seats. Needless to say, I listened to that thing until I had learned every word to every song. Such a great album! Awesome reaction!
I love everything about em! The raw, hard rockin sound, the songwriting, and the players!
Rickey Medlocke. Guitar and vocals, was a hell of a front man.
Greg T Walker, bass. Was a primary songwriter as well
Jackson " Thunder foot" Spires was a beast of a drummer.
Charlie Hargret- lead guitar, is still one of my favorite guitarists.
They worked long and hard to get any real traction, which meant they were accomplished live musicians when they hit the big time.
Shorty Medlocke, Ricky Medlockes grandfather played the harmonica on the intro. I saw Blackfoot at Gaillard auditorium in Charleston, South Carolina in 1981. They blew the roof off that dump and it was never the same again. Rock on brother. 🇺🇸✌️🇺🇸
Shorty also does the slide guitar outro. Shows the world that an old timer bluegrass player ain't afraid to crank a Marshall every now and again.
This is the music of my generation!! Love this stroll down memory lane!..
If you really want to hear and EPIC AND ICONIC SONG you must check out "Whipping Post" by the Allman Brothers Band.. Amazing music of the late 60's and 70's!! Many bad to the bone songs! Great reaction! Keep up the great work!
Oh man!! I haven't heard these guys in decades! One of the best country rock bands of the time. These guys, Molly Hatchet, Allman Bros., Lynyrd Skynyrd.. They ruled the roost of country rock. Gotta do Highway Song.. definitely another bluesy banger from Ricky Medlock and the boys!😍 🤘😎🤘
I appreciate your appreciation for the fantastic roots of Rock music.
Their first album No Reservations is full of great guitar tones and songs. The riff on Indian World is classic Leslie West type stuff, and the solo on the intro in I Stand Alone is a great example of a Les Paul Junior through a Marshall. This is one of the greatest bands to come out of America.
If you like this If You Haven't already Listen to Molly Hatchet song - Flirting With Disaster
Dreams I'll Never See, Jukin' City, Fall of the Peacemakers, What's It Gonna Take are classic Molly Hatchet tunes in my book
Blackfoot! 🤟 And a good ol southern, "hells yeahs!" Thanks Sebs 😊
Singer/guitarist Rickey Medlocke is a long time member of Lynyrd Skynyrd as well! First in the very early days then after the band reformed after the plan crash.That's his grandfather Shorty Medlocke on harmonica. Blackfoot has many great songs! My favorite is called Spendin Cabbage
I saw Blackfoot in a tiny rock club in West Orange New Jersey in the late 70’s
Blackfoot along with Molly Hatchet and 38 Special all from Jacksonville rose in the late 70's, early 80's when there was such a huge hole to fill from the Skynyrd plane crash ....They all did good!
I was no more than 20 feet from these guys in Toledo, OH ON THE FLOOR right in front of the bass player and they opened with this. The air was exploding all around me,
That’s so cool to hear. Was it the sports arena? I saw them there back in the day.
These guys were awesome...there live shows were amazing. Saw them in 1980 at the Swing Auditorium in San Bernardino...just a few months later the Swing was hit by a twin engine Cessna causing so much damage it had to be torn down...was stationed at George AFB at the time....Another piece of Trivia....Blackfoot's equipment, all of it was stolen from their trucks the night before the show, borrowed a local bands equipment, apologized about the sound, but none needed.....it was great! Been to many, many concerts, but never any like the Swing......was just plain insane there...
This song takes a fair amount of influence from Elvis Presley's cover version of the song "Mystery Train", released in 1955, originally written and recorded by Junior Parker. As another commenter noted, the harmonica at the beginning of the song is emulating the sound of a train as it starts up slowly then builds speed.
Before highways and air travel, trains were how people and goods were moved long distances in a relatively short span of time and trains took on a legendary status in early to mid 20th century music and if you go looking for them, you can find quite a few songs about trains, especially in early country music. Small towns all across the country had rail lines running through them and there were many harmonica players who learned to make that combination train whistle/train wheels sound.
Oh, and all those great riffs you're marveling at? Most of them are based on the blues, whose influence on the first several decades of rock n roll cannot be overstated.
Ricky Medlocke quit Blackfoot and joined Lynyrd Skynyrd and still plays with them.
"Highway Song" is another great song by Blackfoot. It was as popular as Train, Train. I saw Blackfoot open for Molly Hatchett back in 1984 (or 1985?) when I was in the Army. Both bands blew me away live.
Lucky shit seeing both together I've seen both just not same night
Southern Rock is the best kind of guitar rock there is, was, or ever will be.
Gotta spin Highway Song, Feeling Good, Left turn on a Red Light, Madness, Dry County, Good Morning, I Stand Alone for starters
Black foot and Molley hatchet are my favorite bands. I’m 60 yrs old and listen to southern rock almost daily. Look up “Ricky Medlocks Blackfoot “. Now that he has retired from playing with lynard Skinard , he’s been playing his old stuff again. You can find videos/shows from a month ago . Still sounds great.
The bands coming out of Jacksonville at the time were the who's who of Southern Rock: Blackfoot, Molly Hatchet, The Allman Brothers, .38 Special, and let's not forget, Lynyrd Skynyrd. All in a relatively short time. Pretty amazing musical output for a relatively small city. Interesting to note, the lead singers for .38 Special and Skynyrd were brothers (Ronnie and Donnie Van Zant), so there's that.
Meh
Classic!!! Glad I grew up with this… welcome aboard, brother!!!
Great band, great song. So many times you react to a song and I think, Dang. how has he not heard that? Lol! I grew up with them and it is hard to get my mind around the idea that music this great was just abandoned by younger generations and replaced with the 'music' they have now days. I am so grateful to you and other reactors for giving these songs a second life.
Wishing Well, another good one...
A great “ FREE” song
I blew out sooooo many speakers in sooooo many muscle cars to this song lol... this song and say what you will by fastway... Great reaction
Love Blackfoot! Saw them '81 at the original Compton Terrace in Phx, with this other band opening for them none of had heard of, Def Leopard. So long ago..
The fact that younger people like this gentleman can appreciate the amazing music of my youth gives me hope for the future. ROCK ON MY FRIEND !
Molly Hatchet Flirting with disaster use to get played on my radio right behind this one, check them out too if you haven't
Welcome to our world when we listened to this music. Keep looking kid, there is tons of good stuff out there.
Loved that song so much that I sacrificed a dozen speakers in it's honor. It was the perfect song to find the right ones for my sound system 😅 🎼🎶🎵💥
My first concert back in ‘80 or ‘81. Blackfoot opened for Foghat. What a great time for music. Thank you Sebs!
There's also a band called Chickenfoot with some famous members.
And who could forget Bumblefoot?
If you want Country Rock then you need to listen to Black Oak Arkansas. Their name is where they are from and any group that has the lead singer play the washboard, and drink from a moonshine jug on stage, is about as country as you can get. Check out Jim Dandy, live from the California Jam, And When Electricity Came to Arkansas.
Feel the power. It kicks you in the chest when the riffs start. From the late 50s through the 60s and 70s was the most creative period of music ever.
Motown, Southern Rock, Blues all grew exponentially. Many great artists took their music a step farther and just blew listeners' minds.
What a glorious time.
Then money and greed ended it all.
I was fortunate enough to see these guys live & their backup band was Def Leppard.
I watched them in Portsmouth Va. with Molly hatchet and three other bands in 1977 or so. Good times at fourth of July concert.
Jacksonville FL,= Blackfoot, Molly Hatchet, Lynyrd skinner, 38 special, Allman brothers band, to name a few. I was lucky my father was transferred here in the 70s (Navy) and I got ro see these 1st hand. Molly Hatchet practiced on the street behind us so we could sit in the e back yard and listen to them. Keep up the good reactions. God bless.
you nailed talking about playing in the studio back then…
i listen to this record because i like the way the recording sounds even more than the songs themselves…
Grew up having a blast on Southern Rock! Still rocking it at 60yo!!
In the early 80's I worked at a radio station that was getting rid of some of their old 45's. That's how I learned about Blackfoot. One of the batch of records I bought was a demo of theirs with heavy needle burn at the start. You just don't find that anymore. :)
What I like about this channel is that this young man has the spirit of the classic rock music before him.
He is honest and seems like a good dude.
Must listen to Highway Song from this album now. Definitely my favorite!
I met "Rickey Medlocke" in '69 or '70 when "Blackfoot" 1st came up from Jacksonville to New Jersey to get 'cover' sets together & play the lucrative tri-state circuit. They worked on "No Reservations" (1st L.P.) & they had an organist (think Deep Purple, Uriah Heep) that left the Band. "Rickey" & "Gregg" got a phone call to re-join "Lynyrd Skynyrd" & abandoned the Band in N.J. This was when I formed a Band with their lead guitarist "Charlie Hargrett".(In Wiki-Pedia my name is "Bondy"). In less than a year "Rickey" & "Greg" left "Skynyrd" & reformed "Blackfoot". "Train, train" & "Highway Song" are chart toppers. The arrangement of "Highway Song" on the L.P. is best. "Blackfoot" has lots of energy 'live' & their show in "Zurich" is a great example to view!
I was 11 when I first heard this in 79' and it's still fucking amazing
Graduated in 78 and I still listen to this music. I also listened to my teenage sons rap and no complaints but my generation has awesome music lol
Fox chase was a sick song as well Blackfoot rocks hard
Blackfoot was my very first concert.
Saw them a few times. Rickey Medlocke was an amazing guy. At the Florida World Music festival he brought his gramd dad on stage to play harmonica for this. He joined Lynyrd Skynyrd twice and had a great career...
Saw these guys in 1980 in Evansville, IN..opened for Nazareth..killer show..we were huge fans of both bands in high school '77 to '81!
I saw Blackfoot in Fresno in support of this album. Great show!
It's just cool seeing people discover what I was a fan of in high-school in the late 70's, graduated in 1981. There were so many southern rock groups and then you had artists and groups that were influenced by southern rock.
Hard rocking song. Great riff and deep Southern tones.
Great tune By Blackfoot!
Now time to hit an obscure one! We've all heard Rush tunes, check out this tune called Battlescar by Max Webster featuring Geddy Lee from Rush. It's seldom heard, great tune from the late '70's!
Whenever I hear this song I think Allman Brothers. Southern Rock!
Blackfoot is a great band. Rickey Medlocke is a great singer/songwriter, guitarist, drummer, and more. He has been playing guitar for Lynyrd Skynyrd since 1996, and he was a member of the band first in 1971 and 1972, playing drums and singing some. He was a founding member, guitarist, and singer for Blackfoot. They formed in 1970. I prefer them to Lynyrd Skynyrd.
Touche!
Perfect definition: RAW!
I love how the harmonica evokes the sounds of a locomotive train and the guitar continues that theme with a nice driving rhythm. I had forgotten about Blackfoot and Molly Hatchet but this video reminded me of how great these Southern rock bands were.
JUST finished watching
an 80's live vid of 38 special...👍
Blackfoot Rocked!
Now imagine being 18 years old when that first came out and hearing it for the first time in a car driving, that's how we had speeding tickets.....
My favorite and I think, the best Southern Rock song ever.
I am 59 yo and am so glad the great music my generation grew up with is being kept alive. Keep up the good work.
You need to do the live version of "Highway Song" in Zurich Switzerland. It is rocking to the max! Love Blackfoot. Rickey Medlocke is a great frontman and guitarist.
Back in the day everything was recorded on analog tape machines ( thats why it sounds raw and powerful.) Today you have mostly digital recording which is sterile and mundane and programed . Theres no substitute for tube amps cranked up . ( Blackfoot used Marshalls ) back in the day. Today Rickey Medlocke uses Wizard amps. ( custom made especially for him.) They are suberb amps.
This has always been one of my favorites
