      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.

    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.

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!!

  • @brianlehigh8039

    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.

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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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. :)

    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!

    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...

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

  • @richardpierce7819

    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.
