I love finding a old Classic Rock song that seems new to me.......

One that I never listened to or forgot I listened to it!!

This is my latest one! Not sure why I missed this one so many years!

I swore this was the Beatles when I heard it a few weeks ago, even Wiki says:

The song's arrangement has been called "Beatlesque", bearing similarities to Beatles songs "Martha My Dear" and "A Day in the Life" while harmonically it shares its unusual first four chords and harmonic rhythm with "Yesterday".

Released January 1979!

When my kids were teens, I used to love when a popular band would cover an older rock song. Arkansas Granny May 2018 #4

live DJ station, and request it. I usually get a thank you, why didn't I think of that, from whoever is working. At least half the crew there are friends of mine.

was like 30 years old!

I wondered how that one got by me? I loved Train, Train and a couple other songs of theirs. we were a long way from getting any kind of classic rock station that might play that in my town when that album came out, and I don't think I ever hear it on the one we have now. But tell me they don't open up a big can of whoop ass there!

Once I had that I collected some more of their stuff and read a little about them. Rickey Medlocke was the mastermind behind Blackfoot with help from his grandfather "Shorty". You hear shorty at the start of this one. Shorty wrote "Train, Train" and plays that wicked harmonica solo, at age 69 or 70 it looks like.
