Blackfoot-Tomcattin´ (1980)

Blackfoot, along with Molly Hatchet, are the most hard-rocking band in Southern rock. They produced a series of highly acclaimed and commercially successful albums, especially the trilogy comprised of "Strikes" (1979), "Tomcattin'" (1980), and "Marauder" (1981). Focusing on the second of these, "Tomcattin' " is their rawest and most aggressive work, where the band, led by vocalist and guitarist Rickey Medlocke and bassist Greg Walker, delivers powerful songs like "Warped" and "Gimme, Gimme Gimme", as well as typical Southern rock anthems like "Fox Chase", "On the Run", "Dream On", and "In the Night". With this album, their fourth chronologically, Blackfoot remained true to their Southern rock roots, achieving one of their greatest successes with their devoted fans in the United States and Europe.
