BLACKFOOT FANS WILL BE PLEASED
cd-heaven | ROCK CITY | 12/22/1999
(4 out of 5 stars)
"The man is BACK!. Ricky I missed ya, you don't know what a relief it was to hear new Southern rock again. Coming from a band that was original Southern Rock's last band to make any good music. Classis like Fly Away, Train Train, and Highway Song are a essential listen. Mr. Medlocke returns to crack out more rockers and ballads with a few cover songs thrown in. A bit past his prime, Blackfoot is releasing much better S. rock now than any other Southern has-been outfit. Man, it;s good to hear new Blackfoot, fans of old won't be let down."

"I was fournate enough to see this line up of Blackfoot which turned out too be the last,not near as good as orgional Blackfoot material but it still "ROCKS" it shows what southern rock is all about!!!"
Not their best, not their worst

"When Blackfoot released the previous album, called "Medicine man" in 1990, they had been silent for many years, and the only remaining original member was singer/guitarist Rick Medlocke. After another four years, Blackfoot's "After the reign" came out and still Medlocke was the only original member."After the reign" can be described as a (modern) southern rock effort, but not of the same quality shown on albums like "Strikes", "Marauder" or "Siogo". The production is good but rather slick and the material is alright but not that thrilling I was hoping for. I would say that it's an overall good album, better than both "Tomcattin" and "Vertical smiles", but not quite as good as the previous "Medicine man" - an album with better songs.Rick Medlocke have joined Lynyrd Skynyrd as you probably know, and maybe "After the reign" is not only the latest but the last Blackfoot album ever. That would indeed be a pity, but if Blackfoot decide to make a come back I sure hope it will be the original line up..."
Has some good songs on it

"Probaly about 3.75 stars but I thougth I would give it 4. I don't like everything on it and it's not as good as Maurauder, Strikes, or Tomcatin but it does have some good tunes on it. Nobody Rides For Free, Tonigth, After the Reign, and Bandelaro are the best one's on it. It's not quite as heavy as 80's Blackfoot...title track is the most like the early 80's stuff."
Blackfoot Goes Out With A Bang

"Blackfoot went out with a bang on AFTER THE REIGN. This wasn't another FLYIN' HIGH, STRIKES, TOMCATTIN', or MARAUDER, and yes, it has more cover versions than it should, but it still contains some good originals, especially "It's All Over Now", which could be about saying goodbye to people you were once good friends with, but with whom you now have little or nothing in common. An excellent way to end a career- or is it really the end?"
