description: "Rickey Medlocke, sometimes credited as Rick, is an American musician, best known as the frontman/guitarist for the Southern rock band Blackfoot and as a member of Lynyrd Skynyrd. During his first stint with Lynyrd Skynyrd from 1971 to 1972, he played drums and sang lead on a few songs that would initially be released on the 1978 album Skynyrd's First and... Last. Medlocke would rejoin Blackfoot in 1972 and later returned to Lynyrd Skynyrd in 1996 as a guitarist. He remains with that band to the present day. Medlocke was inducted into the Native American Music Hall of Fame in 2008."
