Blackhorse-Blackhorse (1979)

Blackhorse was a Texas Southern rock power trio who released a single album in the late 1970s. At the time, it went completely unnoticed, but it's now destined to become one of those many forgotten, obscure albums ripe for rediscovery. Hailing from Dallas, the band consisted of drummer John Teague, guitarist and vocalist Gary James, and bassist and vocalist Paul Anthony Middleton. Their only album, released in 1979, was actually a limited run of promotional copies sold at their own concerts. With a style reminiscent of iconic bands like Lynyrd Skynyrd, Blackfoot, Molly Hatchet, and 38 Special, this release showcases their energetic and intense Southern hard rock with hints of boogie rock, featuring a repertoire of excellent compositions such as the vigorous "Fox Hunter", "Cannot Find My Way Home", "Hell Hotel", "The Party's Started", "Lucille", and "Dave's Song".
