    The harmonica was played by the lead singer's Grandpa. This was one of his Grandpa's hit songs back in the late 1930s/40s. When they made this version they kept wanting to cut here and there, stop, redo a bar. His Grandpa got so mad he said they better play it like (*#) real musicians or stop it all together!!

    A lot of people don't realize the singer guitar player who founded Blackfoot was originally an early drummer for Lynyrd Skynyrd who quit drums to start Blackfoot & is the reason why he's played for Skynrd since they reformed. So technically Rossington is not the only "original" member if Skynrd still playing with them! I was lucky to see Blackfoot twice, & "Skynrd" several times!

    The first song I heard from Blackfoot was Highway Song. Absolute masterpiece. I didn't know the name of the band at the time but was blown away by it. It's nearly 7 minutes long. You could call it Blackfoot's Freebird, as it has change up in tempo and melody and is an epic jam session. Would have to make a longer video for that one though but it's totally worth it.

    One of my favorite bands. Been waiting for you guys to discover them. Ricky Medlocke was a founding member of Lynyrd Skynyrd.

He later rejoined Skynyrd post plane crash and tours with them to this day.

    Thanks for reviewing this! My dad was the producer for the first Lynyrd Skynyrd recordings and also the first 2 Blackfoot records. I grew up with these guys and wound up as guitarist in Blackfoot years later. Thanks for the glowing remarks about both bands. Great groups!

    God this makes my skin crawl... Back in my younger days I drove a truck working for a logging company. I hauled 100,000 pound loads up and down the road and some of my most favorite "driving music " was this song and a lot of Skynrd and Molly Hatchet music. You get a good load and an open road and turn up the radio and just let her eat. I left the road for another line of work but I will never forget the good times and the music. That seems like a lifetime ago...

    The harmonica intro was performed by Rickey Medlocke's Grand father Shorty Medlocke. The harmonica during the song was Cub Koda who was the singer/guitar player for Brownsville Station. They wrote the song Smoking in the Boys room. I worked with Blackfoot as a sound engineer, Rickey Medlocke is one of the good guys in the music business \mXm/

    Not much for comments, from an old hobo but that harmonica was unbelievable. If you’re never seen a steam locomotive start up, there’s a thing called wheel slip that sometimes happens.
    Look it up and think about the way he plays and you will be amazed.
    Only old hobo’s recognize it.
    Godspeed beautiful people to you and your lovely family.

    I saw Blackfoot together with Molly Hatchet back in 1983 in Fayetteville, North Carolina. What a concert!!! I was in the Marine Corps stationed over at Camp Lejeune, NC and a few of us made the drive over to Fayetteville to see the concert. We thought we might run into some trouble because Fayetteville is right outside Fort Bragg, the home of the 82nd Airborne and Army special forces... inter-service rivalry being what it is. None at all, we got along great with the Army guys and we all had one hell of a great time at the concert and after. I have really great memories of that concert and I've always been a fan of Southern Rock. Thank for sharing, glad you enjoyed!

Rickey has a music school here it Ft. Myers, FL well used to as least, not sure if it's still there, my son took lessons there for quite a while.
    You gotta do "Highway Song" next czcams.com/video/PbNrJWgG_24/video.html In my adult years it's become my favorite of theirs, so haunting and beautiful, I think you'd dig it.
