Editorial Reviews

Blackfoot was a southern-rock band from Jacksonville, Florida, lead by singer/guitarist Rick Medlocke. Between 1975 & 1985 they released numerous albums, three of which are now making their worldwide CD debuts on Wounded Bird Records. 'Highway Song - Live' was originally issued in 1982 as a German import only and has been an extremely hard to find collectors item ever since.

5.0 out of 5 stars Smokin' Blackfoot, February 17, 2003

This is one of the better live recordings ever released. The band is tight and well polished through out this recording. Starting out with the blistering "Gimmie, Gimmie, Gimmie" and heading into the pulsating "Every Man Should Know" this recording captures the energy and passion that Blackfoot put into every one of the shows they played. The guitar players intermingle lead licks without missing a beat. Speaking of beats, Jackson "Thunderfoot" Spires provides a solid back bone to all the songs on this disc. "Highway Song" and "Train Train" plus "Fly Away" are the songs that really stand out. I wish the band had included "On the Run" from "Tomcattin" on the record, but other than that omission, all of Blackfoots best material is represented on this disc. This band will probably never re-unite which is a shame, because they are of the best to ever grace the rock and roll stage. Buy this recording! It is awesome

BLACKFOOT IS ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF THE HARD ROCK BANDS LIKE
WHITESNAKE, UFO, MOTORHEAD, THIN LIZZY WERE BIG IN EUROPE
BUT ONLY SMALL FOLLOWING IN USA. RADIO AND MTV JUST DIDN'T
PLAY THEM BUT FUNNY THEY ARE ALL AS POPULAR AS EVER! WHERE
ARE ALL THE MINDLESS GARBAGE FROM THE 80'S? GONE! HIGHWAY
SONG LIVE IS ONE OF THE TOP TEN LIVE ALBUMS OF ALL TIME.
IT REMINDS ME OF SAXON OR UFO OR MOTORHEAD LIVE. BRILLIANT.
THE SONG SELECTION, THE PLAYING, THE CROWD THE WILDMAN RICK
MEDLOCKE MAKES YOU FEEL YOU ARE THERE! IF YOU NEVER HEAR
THEM AND LIKE GREAT 80'S HARD ROCK BUY THIS NOW!!!!!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Live Blackfoot- Should Have Come Out Here In 1982, October 23, 2002

HIGHWAY SONG is a great live album by the original lineup of Blackfoot. The versions here are a little rawer than the classic studio versions- a bit TOO raw, perhaps- but this recording is good enough to make you wonder why it wasn't released in the United States in 1982.
