Blackfoot’s all-new lineup will release Southern Native this summer under the guidance of co-founder Rickey Medlocke. Now lead guitarist with Lynyrd Skynyrd, Medlocke recruited four new members to carry Blackfoot forward back in 2012.
Southern Native, due on Aug. 5, will be the first to feature lead guitarist and singer Tim Rossi, guitarist and vocalist Rick Krasowski, bassist Brian Carpenter and drummer Matt Anastasi. “This record is head-to-head, old school-meets-new school, classic to new rock for a brand new generation,” Medlocke says in a press release announcing the album. “Turn it up loud!”
You can see the track listing for Southern Native, which includes an update of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young‘s “Ohio,” below. Tour dates in support of the album are also below.
Medlocke took more than two years to produce Southern Native, composing and performing the project along the way. “Rickey bridged the generations by having his grandfather, Shorty Medlocke, play on those early Blackfoot records,” Rossi says. “So having Rickey play slide and other guitar with us on this record bridges the modern gap. It’s a full-circle kind of thing.”
