After the Reign

After the Reign is an album by the reformed BLACKFOOT band released on May 24, 1994 Guitarist Zakk Wylde makes a guest appearance on the title track playing the second solo in the lead break section.
Rickey Medlocke had finally come back to his roots. But with grunge ushering in an entirely new rock & roll order, there was no room on the pop charts for old-school music like this. By the time Medlocke finally re-emerged, with the aptly named, conspicuously mellow, and blues-infused After the Reign, Medlocke seemed to finally be at peace with himself -- the artist -- although that gave little consolation to fans who craved a reunion of the classic Blackfoot lineup, since he was once again surrounded by unknown hired henchmen here. Standout moments like "Nobody Rides for Free," "It's All Over Now," and the title track radiated earthy, earnest, Southern rock vibes all over the place. After the Reign feels like an unofficial, beautiful afterthought to a career already ten years in the books.

Line-up:
