Epitaph For A Head - J D Blackfoot

J.D. Blackfoot is not the Indian of the group. He was born in Cleveland in 1944, spent much of the '60s learning to play the guitar and, as far as heavy-psych record collectors are concerned, struck gold with his first solo record, "The Ultimate Prophecy", in 1970. It wasn't until a few years later, when he claims to have had a vision of the Battle of Little Big Horn and began writing about Native American stories and causes, that his stage name seemed truly appropriate.

Aside from his own string of albums, Blackfoot also established Sisapa Records, home to Marshall Tucker and Neil Young's backing band, Crazy Horse, in the late '80s and early '90s. He currently makes his home in Hilliard, Ohio, where he continues recording. Read more on Last.fm.
