I wanted to explore this group a bit farther so I figured the Best Hits should do it...,and it did. Like with any music, there were a few songs that didn't hold my interest too much, a high percent of them did. No regrets.

Since the demise of vinyl I've been trying to rekindle my albums in cd format but whoa, buying all those cds! When I saw this collection I decided to get it before buying most of the albums, at least I'd have some of my favorite songs. There isn't a bad song on this collection and my absolute faves are all present and accounted for. I strongly recommend this collection for any Blackfoot fan.

This is some great Jacksonville, Florida, Southern Rock at it's best. On this particular "greatest hits", album, you get Blackfoot's original line-up, of Rickey Medlocke, (who is now with Lynyrd Skynyrd), on lead vocals, and guitar, Charlie Hargrett on guitar, Greg T. Walker on bass guitar, and the late/great Jackson Spires on the drums. They chose the name Blackfoot, as a tribute, to their Proud, Native American Heritage. Rickey Medlocke & the late/great Jackson Spires wrote most of the songs on this CD.

Shorty Medlocke, Rickey's Granddad, also contributed to the song writing. Mr. Shorty wrote the big hit "Train, Train", and also co-wrote, "Fox Chase". Mr. Shorty was a legendary bluegrass musician, down in Jacksonville, Florida. He introduces some of the songs, like "Fox Chase", "Rattlesnake Rock N' Roller", and he even starts off the song "Train, Train", with his great hormonia muisic, and makes it sound just like a train.

This is some great Southern Rock at it's best, by the "Original Blackfoot", and I highly recommend it. Thanks and enjoy!!!!

This is a great album if you like BlackFoot. All the popular songs and a few good bonus tracks.

I bought this CD mainly for the song, "Highway Song", but found that I had more favorites as well. Songs that I had forgotten. I received this great CD in excellent condition.

Great CD. I had forgotten how just good the band was. For Southern Rock fans this is a must have.

Did you ever buy something hoping that it was going to be really good, and it was? Then, did you ever lend it to someone who did not return it, or worse yet, leave your new CD in your CD player in your car when you sold the car? Well, I did the later. I really enjoyed this CD, especially the first song.

If you like blackfoot you will love this CD it is well made and sounds great!!

This cd does have some of Blackfoots greatest hits.All in all,This is a good cd.

I have hearnd verious songs by these guys through the years and finally got this CD. I was amazed to find that they were the ones who wrote some of the songs that have been made famous by others like the Allman Bro.'s Good music and the second half Rocks!!
