Hard Rock Outfit Blackfoot Resurrected
rowena on Mar 4th 2009
They were formed in 1972 and were contemporaries of Lynyrd Skynyrd, and tried for years to make it as a Southern rock band, although they were more popular as a hard rock outfit. I’m talking about Blackfoot, a Southern rock band from Jacksonville, Florida. Blackfoot original members include Rickey Medlocke, Jakson Spires, Ken Hensley, Christoph Ullmann and Jerry James. They had a number of hit albums in the 1970s and early 1980s (including Strikes (1979), Tomcattin’ (1980), and Marauder (1981)) before their popularity started to wane. They had broken up by 1984, though not before former Uriah Heep keyboardist/songwriter Ken Hensley had joined the group during their last couple of years together.
The band was resurface on 2004 with 3 of the founding members. But when Spires dies the members of Blackfoot is consists of Bobby Barth, Greg T. Walker, Charlie Hargrett and Michael Sollars.
Watch Blackfoot live from this collection of their live music videos.
