I strongly believe that Siogo is the best but one the less known works of Blackfoot. They become very known with albums like Strikes and Tomcattin, and they took their name from an native race with whom Medlocke was related. Another thing that makes Siogo so special is the presence of Ken Hensley who he also wrote some of the songs.

The result was the great hard rockin (with also some southern rock elements) Siogo which was far away from what they had done till that moment. In this album someone can find eternal hard rock hymns like Teenage Idol, and Send Me An Angel, so its a deep shame for a hard rock fan not to have this album or even worse not to have listened to those historical songs!!! Im not exaggerating but its generally acceptable that Siogo is one the diamonds of this music and especially of the hard rock genre.

All of you that you are eternally searching things out and you are wild spirits grab this unique album wherever you find it! Dont loose the chance to listen to such a damn good album. Its absolutely recommended my friends!
