Blackfoot - Fox Chase (live '94) - w/ lyrics

Live in Sweden 1994 by the great Blackfoot! Not the same as the original lineup, but they still rock...
Lyrics:
Howdy folks, this is your old buddy Shorty Medlocke
I'd like to tell you about an old bunch of fox hounds I got
Ole Ring, an Ole Tige and Ole Rover
And when we start out across them Georgia hills a-huntin'
And them foxes sound something like this
[Harmonica] ...Ooooh, ooh, ooh, git it sic em, catch it
[Harmonica] ...Get em Ring. [Harmonica] ...Ooooh, ooh, ooh
Ahhh, Lets crank it up now
Well I got in my pickup, my old forty ford
Had my snake skins on, and my black hat choked, and I was ready to stroll
And I crossed over into Jackson, said to my friend brother do you want to go
Lord are you so slow, We'll be out doing the fox chase just
like so many times before
I dropped a glass of tea and Gomez De, Charlie said we're right on time
Gonna bring me black jack some one on one and maybe just a little bit of wine
We got pretty Miss Lucy bring your live gun she's already to go
Baby, baby ain't too slow, we'll be out doing the fox chase
just like so many times before
Aeeee
Well, free as a breeze, do what we please without a care in the world
Just a dollar of gas, a one night of romance, were looking for that girl
Well now, somebody call a doctor, sick on my knees,
don't think I'll be able to go, Then again, I don't know,
but I'll be out doing the fox chase just like so many times before
Oh, I'm seeing them foxes
(songwriters: Paul Robert Medlocke, Jakson W Spires, Rickey Medlocke)

I loved this band from the first time I heard them, years ago. Rock on!

[@petezereeah517]

Great Band! And cool people too. I talked to Jackson Spires in a bar when he was with the Dixie Allstars. He was the nicest guy you could ever meet. No ego at all. He bought my friend and me a beer, and told us he was doing some percussion for TV commercials as a side thing. He wouldn't say what, but and rolled his eyes and shook his head. He talked about his family and how rare some of the old blackfoot albums were becoming. A genuinely nice guy. We offered to help load up their gear and I helped Dave Hlubek ( Molly Hatchet ) haul amps. He was cool too, and kept laughing about how many times he's had police drug sniffing dogs checking his laundry.

What a great band love them Great Southern band

[@wyattblackwood3927]

The southern rock Shaman, Rickey Medlocke. I put Blackfoot right up there with the greatest of all the southern rock band.

[@longtalltexan63]

That's my good friend Tim on Bass. Can't believe he played with Blackfoot! To cool!

[@shatnershairpiece]

'Maruader' was the last great Blackfoot album. 'Siogo' pandered to teenies and MTV and had maybe 3 songs that could be considered pure Blackfoot. Atco actually wanted Charlie Hargrett to cut his hair and wear different clothes to fit in with the new generation. They wanted to kick him out because he was 'too ugly'! I give credit to him for saying 'screw that' and bailing from the band before the abysmal 'vertical smiles', which even Medlocke disowned immediately after its release.

[@mrbelcherful]

Bought Marauder in 81 and yes the last great studio one for me.

[@scottedgell2]

Big fan of Mark Woerpel. Saw him 4-5 times play guitar with Rick and the boy can play. His solos on Guitar Slingers Song and Dance were excellent.

[@sherrynanney5215]

this is killer. THANK YOU

[@schoonerchic]

You've got really awesome video posted here. Thanks! Never get tired of seeing Rickey.

[@artjazzz61]

I work every weekend very early at a Hospital as an MRI Tech and turn left on this one red light almost everytime,.. nobody around.... I totally think of that song.... : )

[@bowslap]

Damn, that song just crushes live! Rickey Medlocke is truly under-rated as a guitarist....and I'd be willing to wager at least one more go-round with Blackfoot before it's all said and done. No disrespect intended to the current line-up, but Blackfoot-Rickey= cover band.

[@grindfreakmike5754]

No it crushes as a studio version where everything about the song sounds far better.

[@briantxs]

Just saw this. I went to school with Tim Stunson (Playing White Bass). Glad to see him live. Great Guy, Great Texas Musician!

[@skiz303]

Wooooooooooooooooooo!! Vote the kick assedness!!

[@pedraoculta]

Ty for share the lyrics, i always wanted it. i'm brazilian and Rickey have a hard accent. Very difficult to me to understand what he sings, now it's clear! ..

[@robertnewman4072]

Hell yes

[@LosAlamite]

DAMM STRAIGHT!!!!

[@machine1376]

this song is the JAM! Man what a great musician. I kinda like Rickey with a little horse goin on. Gives this already great song a little more attitude! I agree with the comment about the hair posers. That base player gives me the douche chills....

[@scottedgell2]

I asked Ricky about a year after he joined Skynyrd why couldn't Skynyrd play one of the Blackfoot songs. He used to play a bit of a solos of Train Train when JVZ would introduce him. Play like this song, Left Turn on a Red Light, or Wishing Well or something like that. Gary said NO!! Too bad too because the Blackfoot fans would have loved it.

[@timhoovermusicman]

I always thought Rick should have done an opening set of Blackfoot tunes then joined for the skynerd

[@scottedgell2]

@@timhoovermusicman Well I Do not know this for a fact but I always thought Gary was intimidated by Rick because Rick was a better guitarist than Allen Collins and Gary did not feel threatened by Allen. Again, Allen could play without question, but Gary could control Allen better than Rick. No one ever told me that to my face, but the three times I saw RCB after they played in Roanoke Va, Gary was very controlling of Allen. I think Gary felt that if Rick played some Blackfoot before Skynyrd, people might leave after Ricks set was over.

[@damnyankeeyankee6812]

You're right - not the same sound nor energy as the original lineup. The original four had a special chemistry and energy. Thank you for the post tho.

[@longtalltexan63]

@briantxs I'm good friends with Tim, had Cheese Burgers and beer with him a couple of months ago. Tim is a class act all the way!

[@alanmorri]

I came on board when Flyin' High came out...played the thing a lot, got No Reservations ASAP and really enjoyed Blackfoot for years, saw several shows...and they always kicked serious ass. After Vertical Smiles I wasn't into them as deeply as before.and can't even go there with the current Lineup...without Thunderfoot AND Medlocke...nah, pass...

[@karl1949]

YES ...as in can we please have some more proper music sir. The world HUNGERS for Rock&Roll

[@mcgrath16511]

Hey Dougarony.. its on the "Strikes" recording!

[@drumsanddrumming]

Would like to see a clip of Mountain from the same festival.

[@kaozz21965]

AND THATS MY CUZIN MARK

[@blusismylife]

does anyone have the lyrics?

[@glennkrzeminski7539]

I've heard this sound better! Rickey is out of breath, you can hardly hear the driving rhythm, and it looks like showing off has replaced melodic soloing. I'll stick with the recording.

[@SuperD104]

I get a kick outta the 2 metal heads playing with rickey.they so do not fit into a soutern rock band.

[@grindfreakmike5754]

Doesnt sound as good as the studio version.

[@davidgreco6578]

Too much hair slinging and not enough true Florida Blues.I saw this line up live. Not the real deal. Sorry.
