Blackfoot had a classic period with a trio of great albums from 79 -81 with Strikes, Tomcattin, and Marauder. Then it all went a bit weird and limp starting with this one.

The first thing you notice on the album is the keyboards, with the introduction of the mighty Ken Hensley. Now, I’m a big Uriah Heep fan and I loved Ken’s big Hammond sound but using that here with Blackfoot’s hard rockin’ southern groove just doesn’t work for me. Not only that, but the songs just aren’t that strong either.

I’m struggling for a favourite song as it’s all a bit meh and mediocre, but We’re Goin Done does kinda live up to the band’s hard rockin’ reputation.

6.5/10 from The Grooveman.
