Blackfoot, named for lead singer/ guitarist Ricky Medlocke's Native American heritage, began their career with a southern-rock style like that of contemporary Lynyrd Skynyrd. After releasing a few albums in this style, the band was signed to Atco in 1979 and began to sharpen their style. They adopted a heavier rock sound and released Strikes, which became a hit. The album gave the band two hit singles: 'Train, Train" and "Highway Song". The success was followed up with two more acclaimed albums, Tomcattin' and Marauder. In the mid-'80s, the group added keyboardist Ken Hensley to the lineup to help bring a new side to their sound, but the grouping did not last. The band broke up in 1984. However, Medlocke revived the name in 1990 with a new lineup. In the year 2 More...

My dad used to play this song along with "Come Sail Away" every night on his acoustic before me and my sisters went to sleep. This was one of the songs that got me hooked to the classics from an early age. I'm fifteen and proud to say that I wasn't alive for the recordings of about 50-75% of my favorite songs. So long live Classic Southern Rock, and let rest the souls that have given their everything to present it. Peace. Highway Song | Reviewer: Scott ------ About the song Highway Song performed by Blackfoot From the long gone Capital Center to the Roanoke Civic Center to the Salem Roanoke County Civic Center to the Richmond Coliseum no other band brings back memories like the Strikes and Tomcattin that rock my brain to this day. Southern Rock was the BEST and specifically Blackfoot's music was just so addictive and yet just.. I don't know but to say it was GREAT. I miss the real Blackfoot though I know Jack is gone. Christmas Rock Spectacular | Reviewer: David Harbuck ------ About the song Highway Song performed by Blackfoot I'm from Savannah GA. We used to have a regular mid December concert series called the CRS. I saw Blackfoot three times in the late 70s, that band rocked & Ricky medlock sang his ass off & I saw Shorty Medlock his grandfather play the harmonica on Train Train...Good times.One year I saw Blackfoot, Molly Hatchet & 38 Special...paid $8.50 wow | Reviewer: John ------ About the song Highway Song performed by Blackfoot this really brings back memories. Nothing like blackfoot. I remember them in concert several times at The Capital Center (now a parking lot for Fedex stadium). I remember avoiding the cops to have a beer and a toke.... wow! Southern Rock | Reviewer: Al Brooks ------ About the song Highway Song performed by Blackfoot CB mentioned other southern rock classics. There is something about this song and "Green Grass and High Tides", Molly Hatchets' "Dreams I'll Never See" (granted, a remake of the Allman Bros version), and how many other seven minute or more songs that start out almost as a ballad (I freakin' hate ballads) but then rock out. This is true Southern Rock (I'm a born Montanan, so I haven't been drinking that particular Kool-Aid). It's just music that nobody lately has been able to reproduce, musically and the way it speaks to whatever gets your juices flowing (I couldn't thing of another term for what the hell I was talking about. You know what I mean.) Al Brooks Bismarck ND Amazing Song | Reviewer: clyons ------ About the song Highway Song performed by Blackfoot This is an amazing song!!!

Blackfoot's "Highway Song" | Reviewer: Vlad the Inhaler ------ About the song Highway Song performed by Blackfoot Form Bob Seger's "Turn the Page" to Jackson Browne's "The Loadout" to "Highway Song", many rock artists have found inspiration in the intense solitude of being a touring entertainer. This follows the pattern of other southern rock epics ("Free Bird", "Green Grass and High Tides Forever"). A reflective, languid intro, a mellow lyrical section, followed by a guitar-driven rave-up outro. Beautiful stuff! New music sucks. | Reviewer: Wesley ------ About the song Highway Song performed by Blackfoot I'm 17 and this music is the soundtrack to my high school years. I can't stand todays music. None of the guitar players can play anymore. Classic 70's Southern Rock!! | Reviewer: CB ------ About the song Highway Song performed by Blackfoot This song, along with the Outlaws' "Green Grass and High Tides Forever", Marshall Tucker's "Can't You See", and anything from the Allman Bros (just to name a few) were the soundtrack of my Jr and Sr High school days during the 70's. loved the song, well written.. good ole classic | Reviewer: pj durkin ------ About the song Highway Song performed by Blackfoot im 35 and cant stand todays music and when i hear a song like this is when i realize even more hope much i love it... class acts real music pjd You could review the artist/band Blackfoot in Biography page You could review Blackfoot album by visiting Albums page and selecting an album You could review Blackfoot song by clicking the song which you like  Download "Blackfoot" Music | | ||||||||||
