Blackfoot, the Southern American rock band formed in the 1970s by Rickey Medlocke, the current lead guitarist of Lynyrd Skynyrd, will release their newest record Southern Native on Loud & Proud Records August 6th. 

The newest incarnation of Blackfoot includes Jacksonville, Florida-based lead guitarist/vocalist Tim Rossi, guitarist/vocalist Rick Krasowski, bassist Brian Carpenter, and drummer Matt Anastasi. This ensemble carries on the band's legacy of southern Americana and a hard-driving sound.

“Rickey bridged the generations by having his grandfather Shorty Medlocke play on those early Blackfoot records,” said lead guitarist/vocalist Tim Rossi “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.” The band's continued legacy can be found in the proud heritage of its titular track, the slide-driven "Take Me Home," and a spirited harmonic cover of "Ohio" by Crosby, Stills & Nash.

Blackfoot has relentlessly toured over the past few years to appeal to their fan base and to introduce the new lineup to fans of other Southern rock bands such as Skynyrd. They will continue to tour during the summer to support Southern Native. Their tour dates are as follows:
