Blackfoot
were contemporaries of Lynyrd Skynyrd, and tried for years to make it
as a Southern rock band, although they finally succeeded as a hard rock
outfit, in the manner of AC/DC and the Scorpions. They racked up a hit
album (Strikes) and a pair of successful singles ("Train, Train,"
"Highway Song") in the late 1970s and early 1980s, before they became
lost in the post-MTV era of visually oriented bands. The group
started out as a quartet: singer/guitarist Rickey Medlocke, the
grandson of bluegrass musician Shorty Medlocke, who wrote "Train,
Train"; drummer/singer Jakson Spires, bassist/singer Greg T. Walker,
and lead guitarist Charlie Hargrett. They were signed to Island Records
in 1975, evidently as that label's resident Southern rockers, but moved
to Epic Records the following year. Neither relationship was
successful, but in 1979, after moving to Atco, their first album for
the new label, Strikes, hit a responsive chord — the group spent the
next few years on Atco, racking up impressive sales with the follow-ups
Tomcattin' and Marauder. In the mid-'80s, the group added
ex-Uriah Heep keyboardman Ken Hensley in order to bring a new side to
their sound. The group's fortunes declined amid the advent of MTV and
the growth in importance of rock video promotional clips, as well as
the influence of sounds from Europe and Australia, and they never
recovered, despite efforts to adapt their sound and image. Hensley was
replaced near the end of their history, but Blackfoot (who took their
name from the Native American tribe, part of Medlocke's heritage) had
broken up by 1984, before the new lineup recorded. Medlocke revived the
name in 1990 with a new backing group.
