Well, my buddy Mawos' gone and done it again. I've been looking for this album for some 20 years now. So was Mawos, but he's found it, sent it to me and I did the editing. And it turned out real well!
Jackson Highway were named by Jimmy Johnson (Muscle Shoals Sound Studios rhythm guitarist) after the address of the famed Sheffield, Alabama studios. Originally from Dayton, here these guys cut this classic Southern Rock album. And these guys are rocking out alright. It's all good here: the songs, the playing and the singing.
My attention got drawn to this album when I read Rick Medlocke and Greg Walker of Blackfoot played along. Tell you the truth, I don't hear it. Then again, mr. Medlocke is playing some drums here, so... But nothing's lost, like I said, it's all good! The band got additional help, obviously, from some Muscle Shoals pickers. So you're right when you expect some tasty playing. Rave on!

Hello,
I like this record very much.
They did before another disc.
I interviewed Russell Gulley, bass player of the band:

Can you please re-up this one? Thanks!
Sorry, mate. The first two times, MU told me that the link was dead, but the third time it worked. Apologies for the previous comment; no need to post.
This is a great blog that introduced me to many cool bands I had never even heard of. But it also features some of the worst vinyl rips I have ever heard and this is unfortunately one of them...
OK First of all:Jackson Highway was not originally from Dayton Ohio....we were all from Alabama. Medlocke didn't play any drums on this record, he did play guitar on the outtro/jam along.Blackfoot's bass player did bass on that song and the other guitarist for Balckfoot also played on the ending jam. at the end of Rock and Roll Man.
Been looking a long time for this. Thanks!
