Blackfoot remasters
Rock Candy is remastering classic Blackfoot titles Maurader, Tomcatin and Strikes. Blackfoot's best three that they ever made. Release date unknown, i've been looking on Amazon, haven't shown up yet.

Super underrated band. Looking forward to these. I even remember when Uriah Heep's Ken Hensley joined the band briefly for SIOGO. 
Rick Medlocke was a crazy fuck. I remember seeing them open for The Who in Oakland, Ca in 1980 I believe.

Re: Blackfoot remasters
Blackfoot was one of my favorite bands. But after these three releases, I read that the record company decided to change their sound. They wanted to turn them into more of a commercial pop band. Which destroyed them. Needless to say I lost interest in them and looked in other places for music.

Both Tomcattin' and Marauder kick major ass. Saw these guys open up for REO Speedwagon on the latter's Hi Infidelity tour and was blown away. Rick Medlocke really knew how to grab an audience and hold them in a headlock when performing. As my friend used to refer to them, "3 Indians and a Jew". Also recommend "No Reservations" and their live release Highway Song Live. After Siogo, their output really disappointed as it became watered down impotent dreck.

Re: Blackfoot remasters
I have these three on cd already, but I could use an upgrade. Most of the time Rock Candy does a good job, but once in a while they come out with a dud. After I buy one of these new cd's i'll post on here what I think of it. Strikes was good/ ok. But is the weaker of the three. Never heard No Reservations. If these releases turn out to be very good, I might try the Live cd also. But only if the other cd's are worth it.

Re: Blackfoot remasters
Well, just got Tomcatin. It's ok, but not much different from the original cd. I think i'll pass on getting the others. Not that I don't like Blackfoot or these cd's. But it doesn't seem to be worth it to buy these remasters IF you already have the originals.
