5.0 out of 5 stars This Album Rocks, May 4, 2001

BLACKFOOT is as ferocious as a nuclear bomb attack. There is not one radio friendly song on this album. Yet it remains one of my favorites along with Maurader, Strikes, Flyin' High, No Reservations and Highway Song Live. What were Medlocke and co. thinking. This is not the album you hit it big with. I think they just didn't care at the time. However, you also have to wonder what band members of other Southern Rock Bands like Molly Hatchet, Lynyrd Skynyrd and 38 Special special think when they hear an album like this. If they are honest with themselves, they must be blown away. I know that if I was in another band I wouldn't want to go onstage after these guys. I would be blankin' in my pants. These bands all promote themselves as tough bar brawlers and [tail] kickers but BLACKFOOT is the real thing. There is no comparision. I know Skynyrd is a great band and appeals to a much larger audience and achieved greater successs, but BLACKFOOT's music has seared my soul and ranks far and away above anything any other Southern Rock Band has ever done. BLACKFOOT didn't get rich but they are the real bad... of Southern Rock. They are Legends.

Every southern rock n' roll band could only dream of rocking this hard! "Tomcattin'" was my favorite and still is my favorite of the southern rock bands. This album rocks without regard to music critics and record company A&R reps. This album is rocks so hard, I put it on for my 11 year old son and he asked, "wow, I can tell that didn't come out in the 90's!"

Man, I miss the 70's and early 80's.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hardest of all Blackfoot cds., May 21, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Tomcattin (Audio CD)

This cd set Blackfoot apart from all the other southern rock bands by the band not trying to play in the "southern rock" style and thus not sounding like basically a Allman Brothers, Lynyrd Skynyrd, or Marshall Tucker copy band.

They took their hard rock influences and went for it, basically like what Elvis Presley did in the Sun studios, when he took his blues influences and got "real real gone" with rockers like "That's all right momma"

An absolute classic that anybody who loves, southern rock, hard rock, great vocals, great songs, titanic boogie with pinpoint lead/slide guitar and a dash of soul.

A truly under rated classic
