This song has been on heavy rotation my whole life!
Same here. You take a road trip with me, you're absolutely gonna hear Blackfoot.
Mine too friend!
Same. The Strikes album is a pillar of the soundtrack…
Yep
@@MetalMama-Mimi523sounds good... It's a highway soòooong, I'm he ready let's go
Blackfoot is such an underrated band.
I love watching you guys react to songs. Two cats that just really love any type of music that vibes with them. Totally refreshing. Thanks guys.
at 64 year's old it's always fun to see younger folks discovering the music i grew up with.
Awesome reaction. " Green Grass And High Tides" from the Outlaws is guitar mastery. Give that one a listen. 🤠
Guitar army
Florida's Guitar Army from Tampa, Florida.
Hurry Sundown. My favorite ❤❤❤
Have to do the live 18 minute version. Gets me every time.
"The Florida Guitar Army!"
This came from the Florida swamps with deep Lynyrd Skynyrd ties :) This will be the song they will be most remembered for. It's sooo good that if it were the only song they ever wrote, it would be OK. That song will always be BadAss!
This song was written by bluegrass and Delta blues musician "Shorty" Medlocke - the grandfather of this band's frontman Rickey Medlocke. The song is best remembered for its harmonica intro, performed by Shorty, which mimics the sound of a steam locomotive blowing its whistle, pulling out of the station and accelerating to full speed.
If you like Blackfoot, check out Molly Hatchet, Rossington Collins, 38 Special and The Outlaws. There's a lot more to Southern Rock than the Allman Bros. and Lynrd Skynrd. It's worth exploring.
Black Oak Arkansas, Wet Willie, Point Blank, Jason & the Scorchers, Marshal Tucker Band
@@bloppysloppy4057 North Mississippi Allstars, Elvin Bishop, The Black Crowes, Black Stone Cherry, etc. It's almost worth a separate black list.
Came in to suggest similar musicians. Wondering how they haven't at least done Flirtin' with Disaster
Also came in to mention that as a disabled vet, their comments about disabled vets wasn't offensive. Not even a little.
My favorite was the Kentucky head hunters, had a few hits,
@@bloppysloppy4057 Yes 100%
You are correct Southern rock is a mixture of soul, rock, country and blues that is what makes it so unique
lil bit of jazz too
Thats Shorty Medlock on the Harmonica Rickie's grandfather. He did it in 1 take
Yeah, I was gonna mention that it was a family affair but you got there first :)
I was hoping someone would mention this! Love that opening harmonica train chug!
If it's Southern Rock it's gonna be fire. George hit on my 2 thoughts. It's holding up after 40+ years. It's a mix of all music. In the 70's we had Rock and Country. Everything was in one of those categories. Music in the south was more of a melting pot than most will believe. Rickey Medlocke played with Blackfoot and is now playing with Lynyrd Skynyrd, at 73 years old. Great song, band and reaction. Keep 'em coming.
Rickey actually started in Skynrd as a drummer when they first formed
*_"It's a mix of all music."_*
Well, it's a mix of _some_ music.
It's a badass song, though. I jam this at least once a month.
April Wine, too.
@@rogerdaly6326 And sang a few songs. If I remember correctly one was White Dove and was on their First and... Last album.
Ricky played drums for Skynyrd at the beginning of them, before they hit it big
Medlocke was skynerds original drummer before he formed blackfoot
An all-time banger. Love this song.
I've checked in on you guys every so often...what a huge surprise to see this lost 70's classic! One of the all-time great grooves....
Big shout out to Frank for suggesting this band.
Been a Blackfoot fan since about age 10, now 55. You'll never go anywhere with me without hearing Blackfoot. This music keeps you alive in the road. Also, one of the great things about having an older sister with great taste in music, you get to steal all her albums.
Yep. I remember in my Senior English class (1983) we were tasked with presenting a song to the class. It had to have meaningful lyrical content. I chose Blackfoot’s “Diary of a Workingman.” I couldn’t sleep the night before. I remember the silence in the classroom after the song was over. Probably didn’t land the same with everyone else. Oh well. 😀
Waiting for you to pick me up sister!
@@tonyborton1544 if they didn't relate or appreciate, then they suck and can go on. They obviously don't know good music when they heard it. Also, what a bad ass assignment your teacher gave you. I would've gone nuts trying to narrow down what song I was going to present 😄
@@metalmanchild1454 not sure why RUclips changed my name on here but it used to say metalmama523 now it has random #'s after my name. I'm guessing you are a fan of metal music? And I'd better forewarn you, my foot is heavy hahahaha
Agree 💯
Every element of Southern Rock baked into one kickass jam.
You guys are hittin' the good stuff lately! This is my favorite Blackfoot song for sure. ;)
This song was written by bluegrass and Delta blues musician "Shorty" Medlocke - the grandfather of this band's frontman Rickey Medlocke. The song is best remembered for its harmonica intro, performed by Shorty, which mimics the sound of a steam locomotive blowing its whistle, pulling out of the station and accelerating to full speed.
I love Shorty and the relationship he had with Ricky. ❤️
If trains have a theme song, this has to be it.
I’ll always remember listening to this song in my dads car when I was probably 7-8 years old. 28 now. Song doesnt get old!!!
Oh yes!!! This will get you a speeding ticket. 19 years old when this came out, born and bred in Texas and absolutely right about Texas and dirty azz music!! Fire!!
Give “ Fox Chase “ a go for your next Blackfoot song
Something about this song. Brings my soul to life! Gotta move my feet!
I remember hearing this when I was 9 years old(1979) and it still kicks rump today. You guys are awesome!
This is one of those albums you can throw in the car stereo and just go cruise to it without getting tired of it. I wore out the 8-track back in the day doing just that.
Thank you, guys! I had not heard this in a very long time. I grew up in the hot, steamy South (League City, TX), and yes, this is always a favorite in the local bars/taverns in the early 80s!
That harmonica was done by Shorty Medlocke, the grandfather of the lead singer Ricky Medlocke
Always liked this tune. 38 Special is another great southern rock band
A band i never thought I’d see on this channel!! Ricky Medlock has got one of the greatest rock voices ever. My favourites are every man should know and dry county….
Blackfoot were a B list band. They were popular but not like the iron maidens and Judas priest of the world. But I saw them open for probably six different bands and every time no matter how great the headliner was Blackfoot blew them off the stage. Even a couple of the headliners actually mentioned on stage that they needed to step their game up to keep up with the opening band.
They were just high energy southern rock and live they just had an energy about them that was hard to match.
Also, just to fill in some of the blanks: Lead Guitarist/ Lead singer Ricky Medlocke is now in Lynyrd Skynyrd ( what's left of them). He was Skynyrds ORIGINAL DRUMMER many many years ago. Ricky's grandfather Shorty Medlocke was a bluegrass/ blues musician who plays the harmonica at beginning of this song. Shorty also wrote Train Train according to Ricky.
My brother saw them open for Def Leppard in 1980, he said Def Leppard kicked ass but Blackfoot still smoked them live that night
Try some Outlaws. The Florida guitar army. They were awesome.
They all 3, Blackfoot, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Outlaws had their mega song semi ballad that escalates towards the end.
Highway Song, Free Bird and Green Grass and High Tides.
True awesomeness!
This was Ricky Medlock's first band. He became the guitarist for arguably the best band ever Lynyrd Skynyrd! Another one of those Florida's Southern Rock bands. It's been a while for me boys, it's good to see you over a million subscribers. I have been with you since the beginning.
Always appreciate that your channel still introduces me to new music. I've somehow never come across this band and wow, gonna absorb their discography now!
Back in the mid 80s I saw them at a bar in Florida is frequented to see Metal bands but they did have a country night!!! They were great!! ❤😊
Saloons in Texas are Icehouses. Usually with one or more walls of garage doors. Originally named for selling blocks of ice for iceboxes, before the proliferation of electrical refrigeration. The ole' timers will tell you they come to the ice house to get ice, but hang out for a beer, and a jug or two Togo. You had to bring your own jugs. Otherwise, they served the same purpose as the original saloons patronized by the colonists of America.
Watching George’s face as the harmonica intro was on, LOL!!
Spot on about how all music is closely related, that's why all these mash-ups with completely different song styles work....find any two songs with the same beat time and there ya go.
IIRC the harmonica is played by the lead singer’s grandfather
My metal band did this song, rock it out, 3 guitar solos the works, were just kids, 16, playing battle of the bands, noticed the judges was in their late 30s or 40s, I told my bands mates were going to end with train, they hesitated, most of the crowd didn't get it but boy some did, especially the judges and we won, they come back stage and said I can not believe you did black foot train,
This is one of those "SPEEDING SONGS", those who know what I'm talking bout...KNOW❗️
This is definitely one lol. Radar love is always the one I have to check the speedometer when it comes on.
As you mentioned, there are undertones of so many musical styles that it's a tune EVERYONE can love and relate to. That's the power of music, people!
Most emotional song from the band: Diary of a Workingman. Kick ass obscure early Blackfoot: Dancin' Man off of Blackfoot Flyin' High record. Another Railroad Song that kicks ass from Blackfoot: Railroad Man off their first record No Reservations. Cool thing about Rairoad Man is there are 2 versions on the record. Rocking Blackfoot version and killer Bluegrass version done by the guy who wrote the song, Rickey's grandfather Shorty Medlocke.
I knew ya'll would dig this one. Blackfoot's very best.
I seen Blackfoot with Marshall Tucker and Molly Hatchet in the early 80s was a hell of a show!
Guys this is just straight up kick ass southern rock.
*ALL ALBUM VERSIONS*
Black Crowes - "My morning song"
Foghat - "Driving wheel"
Marcus King band w/ Warren Haynes - "Virginia"
Marshall Tucker Band - "Take the Highway"
Allman brothers band - "Southbound"
MTV used to play the live version of “Train, Train” in the early 80’s!!! xoxo The Clarences
The harmonica is played by Shorty Medlocke, the singer/guitarist's uncle. I've seen him play. That old man could WAIL!
So, 30 years ago or so, my dad and his buddy was fishing a bass tournament and they had an old tape player on the boat with them and they had this album on tape lol. This song started playing and they caught a monster large mouth during the beginning harmonica part, didn’t think much about it, well, they love the song so they rewound it and started it over. They caught another lol. They done that 2 or 3 times and caught a fish every time the harmonica would start.
I cannot believe they're listening to super cool stuff like this! The range they are trying is insane. I love it!!! Southern rock is a must!
Rick Medlocke, 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 self-identified Native American ancestry, specifically Lakota Sioux and Cherokee, Medlocke was inducted into the Native American Music Hall of Fame in 2008.
I knew you guys would love the hell out of this.I requested it when I first crossed your reaction channel about 4+years ago
I had a Boxer named Hooch and he would howl and put his head right in the speaker when this song would come on!! The best!
Try Fox Chase, from the Tomcatin album.
Great reaction. Thank you. From someone who lives in texas, i believe its pronounced "erbody".. come along erbody, lets GO!
This is the southern version of the ultimate house party song.....if you're at a southern party and this comes on everybody stops what they're doing and we all just jam out together. Everybody singing, beating on tables to the beat, air guitar evetywhere....it's a jam!!
Saw them last October. Small venue in Columbia,, SC. They kicked ass!
I used to see Hootie and the Blowfish down in 5 Points when they were a bar band there in early 90s when I lived there.
@@davidwade5807 I delivered some office furniture to their office in 5 points when I had barely even heard of them. They were all there, drinking a cold beer. Laid back, friendly as could be. Went to see them play that weekend at Group Therapy. Loved them. A few months later they were rock stars! I see Darius some times at the USC baseball games. Money and fame hasn't changed him one bit
Thanks for giving Blackfoot some overdue respect.
Great review my brothers 👍🔥 Thank you both for sharing ☮️
A great album opener…Blackfoot- Good Morning!
Best reaction yet guys. Had me laughin and groovin. Also wise words about the tribalism of music fans. And no need to apologize. Most of us understand.
I'm so happy y'all reviewed this song!!!
Band- Molly Hatchet. Song- Whiskey Man
Yes sir,with Danny Joe Brown on vocals great one!Flirtin' With Disaster and Dreams I'll Never see also.
One leg with the harmonica: Peg Leg Sam, “Fox Chase”
Shoutout to Texas Roadhouse 🤣 Love it. Totally nailed it on the analysis, George, on the genesis of "rock" music. Blues, Soul, Country... It all rocks. Another great reaction, guys.
As soon as I saw the title,...click! Born in 65 and in the deep south,....this played on the Rock radio all the time. Killed it!
Rick, the vocalist, only has one lung. I don't know how he sings like that, but he's a great singer. Check out their song Diary of a Working Man. He hits some notes that will peel paint off the wall.
He's still playing with Skynyrd and has a side group that he occasionally performs with.
I like the fried catfish at Texas Roadhouse. Been awhile since I've had it. Now that y'all brought up the place that's all I'm gonna be thinking about now.
Absolutely love your reaction!! It's amazing how much joy good music can give you! I don't know if you knew this, but "Shorty" Medlocke -- the harmonica player -- is the grandfather of Blackfoot's vocalist and lead guitarist, Rickey Medlocke. He has a guest spot on three Blackfoot tunes including this one.
..the harp solo in the song was played by Cub Coda from Brownsville Station..their drummer Henry Weck produced it...
I was hoping someone pointed this out - it such an epically cool trivia bit. I LOVE Shorty!!!!!
I've loved this album since it was released- great band.
I really really want Zakk Wylde to cover this song!!! I think it would be a perfect match.
First time I heard this, I thought it was Zakk!
It all comes back to everything is ROCK and ROLL
I just love y'all. Just when I think one reaction is my fave, here y'all come with one I love more.
Saw Blackfoot 6 times between 79&82. Awesome shows live!
Them Texas Roadhouse rolls though! Straight fire!!
I remember when this hot blues tune came out. I'm 66. It still sounds crisp.
Absolute blast. Sometimes we do get to hung up on particulars to just enjoy the moment.
I saw Blackfoot back in the 70’s at Charlotte N.C. It was one hell of a show!!! Great reaction . Liked and subscribed. Love and respect! 🔥
I saw them in concert when I was 16 (at a bar...boy have times changed). I'm 56 now. Still love their music!
Saw the band at Hara in Dayton. "Marauder" album tour, Circa 1981. Man they rocked the house.
This was on the jukebox in our school cafeteria. It was always the first song played. Then Ozzy.
5:22 "to come in and sustain itself". Perfectly articulated!
Rick Medloke is the guitarist and singer, Shorty Medloke is the harp player and that is Rick's grandfather. And he was no spring chicken when they recorded that.
The front man Rickey Medlock drummed on early Lynyrd Skynyrd cuts . Later in his career he played guitar with them.
This is a bad ass album period! I can't Imagine how many boat parties rocked this out. We sure as hell did!!!
Amazing Band, this song was and is still on heavy rotation to this day. Ricky Medlocke us The Man.
best reaction ever for this song!! props to you guys!
For the record this album was recorded in ann arbor and Detroit, produced and managed by AL Nalli. I had the pleasure of painting Al's house and he told me a bunch of cool stories about managing Blackfoot, Brownsville Station, and Lynard Skynard
This tune is an absolute blast to play!!🥁
Y’all need to do some bluegrass covers. Amazing how hard some dudes can go on acoustic instruments. Tony Rice will blow your mind.
I went to a Blackfoot concert. Their opening band was Def Leppard for their High and Dry tour. Excellent concert.
Y'all picked a real winner. Another exceptional Southern Rock band from Jacksonville, Florida.
Straight up Florida Southern Rock! Skynyrd, Blackfoot, Outlaws, Stranger.
Best reaction. You get it. My band opened for them back in the day. I'll never forget it. Favorite
Do their song, "Left Turn On A Red Light".
Went to see this band in the late 70s.They played sooo loud ! It was great.A much older guy played the harmonica.
The pre-cursor to the Black Crows and, hell, some groove metal
Wife Speaking.., Was jumping up and down to this as a toddler ( not kidding)..It still moves me today...Love this Masterpice of Southern Rock!!..
My hometown Jacksonville FL
Skynyrd
Blackfoot
38 special
Molly Hatchet
We had a blast at the bar's around town listening to these bands before they made it big
If a rock song has that blues structure, I don't think it can ever be bad.
I saw Blackfoot in the early 80s and Ricky blew the doors off the place. He had a ton of stage presence, too - a big ole tall American Indian dude just killin it. He was part of that early Skynyrd "clan" and Shorty "Paul" (grandfather/harmonica player) was one of their music mentors. He actually played drums and sang harmonies on a couple Skynyrd albums. And, of course, he's a mainstay member of the current Skynyrd line-up.
This was my Varsity Basketball Warmup Tune 1984.... still have original Blackfoot "Strikes" vinyl album.
Amazing song!! Have been a fan since it came out. I was lucky enough to meet the drummer Jackson Spires when he was in Southern Rock Allstars (along with Dave Hlubek of Molly Hatchet) when my brothers band opened for them....After the show they invited me to set with them and both talked and treated me like we were old friends!!! Awesome people!!!
The singer Rickey Medlocke was in early version of Lynyrd Skynyrd then returned in the late 90's.
