Blackfoot (band)
Blackfoot is an American Southern rock band from Jacksonville, Florida, formed in 1970. Though they primarily play with a Southern rock style, they are also known as a hard rock act. The band's classic lineup consisted of guitarist and vocalist Rickey Medlocke, guitarist Charlie Hargrett, bassist Greg T. Walker and drummer Jakson Spires. They had a number of successful albums during the 1970s and early 1980s, including ''Strikes (album), Strikes'' (1979), ''Tomcattin''' (1980) and ''Marauder (Blackfoot album), Marauder'' (1981). History Early years During the spring of 1969, Rickey Medlocke and Greg T.

Marauder (Blackfoot Album)
''Marauder'' is the fifth studio album by the Southern rock band Blackfoot, released in 1981. The album continued in the same vein as their previous successes, '' Strikes'' (1979) and ''Tomcattin''' (1980). Opening up with the heavy "Good Morning", and including the ballad "Diary of a Workingman", ''Marauder'' also sported the hit "Fly Away", which reached No. 42, and another Shorty Medlocke appearance on the "Rattlesnake Rock n' Roller", this time with a spoken introduction and banjo solo. ''Marauder'' was the last of their albums that were purely hard, driving, rock – they unsuccessfully introduced synthesizers to their sound through the 1980s, and their popularity waned. Eduardo Rivadavia describes ''Marauder'' as "...one of the band's best hard rockers to date", and "the last great Blackfoot album". The band officially broke up amid declining fortunes in the mid-1980s, though Medlocke resumed recording under the name Blackfoot a few years later. He is now, again, a membe ...

Street Survivors
''Street Survivors'' is the fifth studio album by the Southern rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd, released on October 17, 1977. The LP is the last Skynyrd album recorded by original members Ronnie Van Zant and Allen Collins, and is the sole Skynyrd studio recording by guitarist Steve Gaines. Three days after the album's release, the band's chartered airplane crashed en route to Baton Rouge, Louisiana, killing the pilot, co-pilot, the group's assistant road-manager and three band members (Van Zant, Gaines, and Gaines' older sister, backup singer Cassie Gaines), and severely injuring most who survived the crash. The album was an instant success, achieving gold certification just 10 days after its release. It would later go double platinum. The album performed well on the charts, peaking at #5 (the band's highest-charting album), as did the singles "What's Your Name" and "That Smell," the former a top-20 hit on the singles chart.

Vertical Smiles
''Vertical Smiles'' is the seventh studio album by Southern rock band Blackfoot. It is the second and last album to feature former Uriah Heep keyboardist Ken Hensley and the first without guitarist Charlie Hargrett who left during the recording of the album over disagreements with the rest of the band and management. Critical reception Eduardo Rivadavia of Allmusic largely detested the album, citing it as having "one of the most misogynistic title/cover tandems...since Montrose's equally tasteless and musically inadequate '' Jump on It'' eight years earlier." Though he conceded that "die-hard Blackfoot fans may be able to tolerate partially convincing hard rockers like 'Get It On' and 'Young Girl'," he concluded by stating "the surrounding embarrassments are simply too painful to warrant anyone else being exposed to the torment and disappointment that is ''Vertical Smiles''."

Siogo
''Siogo'' is the sixth album by the American Southern rock band Blackfoot, released in 1983. It is the first of two albums featuring former Uriah Heep keyboardist Ken Hensley. Although the band told their record company that "Siogo" was an Indian word for "closeness" or "togetherness", it is actually an acronym for "Suck It Or Get Out". According to guitarist Charlie Hargrett, it was coined by the band's road crew and put up as a sign in the front lounge of their tour bus during previous tours. "Heart's Grown Cold" is a cover and originally appeared on the 1980 Nazareth album '' Malice In Wonderland''.
