│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ With Strikes, Blackfoot released an album that will forever ║ │
│║ be mentioned in the æbest of southern rockÆ lists for ages ║ │
│║ to come. Led by vocalist/guitarist Rickey Medlocke, ║ │
│║ Blackfoot was signed by ATCO Records. Previously, they ║ │
│║ leaned more towards the Marshall Tucker style of southern ║ │
│║ rock, but when they released Strikes in 1979 it was clear ║ │
│║ from the first note that things had changed for the band. ║ │
│║ There would be no more sweet shit; that was replaced by ║ │
│║ loud, cranked up guitars and a high energy approach. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ ôRoad Feverö opens the album and sets the scene for ten ║ │
│║ tracks of blistering southern rock. With Strikes, ║ │
│║ Blackfoot took Lynyrd Skynyrd and kicked it up a notch, ║ │
│║ incorporating just enough heavy metal to make it rock-hard, ║ │
│║ but still retaining their southern roots. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The album paid homage to artists who influenced them, as ║ │
│║ the remakes of SpiritÆs ôIÆve Got a Line on Youö and FreeÆs ║ │
│║ ôWishing Wellö show. Of course, Medlocke and the rest of ║ │
│║ the band give a tip of the hat to RickeyÆs uncle Shorty ║ │
│║ Medlocke, as he provides the mouth harp on the famous intro ║ │
│║ to BlackfootÆs hardest rocking and classic tune ôTrain, ║ │
│║ Train.ö The album ends with ôHighway Songö which is not ║ │
│║ only BlackfootÆs most iconic track, it is one of southern ║ │
│║ rocksÆ most epic songs. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The band hit it big with Strikes and began a run of three ║ │
│║ albums (Marauder, TomcattinÆ) that took them from being a ║ │
│║ footnote in the genre, to making them one of the big ║ │
│║ players. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Like most great southern rock albums, the sound and style ║ │
│║ is instantly recognizableàas is the attitude. This sucker ║ │
│║ has them all. As if the sounds and smells of the album ║ │
│║ were not enough, Rock Candy Records took the album Strikes ║ │
│║ and made it even better by fully re-mastering the sound, ║ │
│║ shaped from 24 BIT digital technology, and included a 16 ║ │
│║ page full color booklet, a 3,500 word essay, enhanced ║ │
│║ artwork, photos and a new interview with Rickey Medlocke. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Even if you own this one already, you must own this version ║ │
│║ as well. Sell your old one on eBay and snap up the Rock ║ │
│║ Candy Records version of Strikes, as this is the one you ║ │
│║ want in your collection. ║ │
