Blackfoot was such a great band and made a lot of great music.
Singer/guitarist Rickey Medlocke is more known today as one of the guitarists of Lynyrd Skynyrd, but he also now occasionally does shows as The Rickey Medlocke Band, playing a lot of Blackfoot music that should be heard.
I got to see him do this in January of this year (review here) and wow!! Such a great show.
If you do not know Blackfoot’s music, please give it a listen.

Southern Native (Rickey produced, played, and sang some on this, but at this point, Rickey owned the name Blackfoot and decided to start a new version with new people and let them be the band. He did this a few times. I saw one of them. Review here.)
Blackfoot was definitely popular, but I think they should have been even bigger.
Luckily, the music is still here and I hope more people will go back and listen to them.
