Exclusive! Rickey Medlocke On His Top Southern Bands
Classic Rock video scoop! Lynyrd Skynyd’s Rickey Medlocke took time out from the band’s recent British dates to film this never-before-seen tribute to his favourite southern bands.
It’s 4 minutes 35 seconds of sheer suvvern delight as the super-cool Rickster name-checks Lynyrd Skynyrd (natch) and Blackfoot (double-natch), along with ZZ Top, The Allman Brothers, Blackstone Cherry and Blackberry Smoke. (Wot, no Molly Hatchet? – Ed.)
Thanks to Sami at Roadrunner/Loud & Proud for filming this for us.
Skynyrd’s latest album God & Guns is out now.

Medlocke kicks ass and is one of my fav guitar players!
FUNNY….RIKKI
Two words describe this man – Living Legend!
Wasted in Skynyrd,should be fronting his own group. Saw Blackfoot supporting Scorpions in 1980,really tight kick-ass southern band. Rick is a natural rock and roll preacher of a front-man. HELL YEAH!
rickey your sooo funny,i love u diane
Spot on, as usual.
Saw Skynyrd last summer in the desert. Kept waiting for train train or highway song and they didn’t play them. Damn! What a waste. They need to play those songs…
love to see blackfoot take to the road again
