In For The Kill
Recorded at Eddy Offord Studios, Atlanta, GA. Produced for Al Nalli productions by Al Nalli & Eddy Offord
This album was pushed unto the band for the most part. Atco was unhappy at the moderate success of Blackfoot. This album had to be completely recorded twice before Atco was satisfied enough to release it. This album isn't 'bad' but it's not very much like Blackfoot. Not a hard southern rock sound like Blackfoot should have always stuck to. This album is for Blackfoot what Music From The Elder is to Kiss. A lost classic considered by some while others call it Morning Doo Doo. The Elder was disliked by Kiss guitarist Ace Frehley. In part leading to him leaving the band. Later everyone aggres that Ace was right. The same goes for Charlie Hargrett. Songs like Limelight and Morning Dew sound good live with the extended guitar parts and so forth but on record its not too good.
