Tomcattin' is the fourth studio album by Southern rock band Blackfoot, released in 1980. The album features Shorty Medlocke, grandfather of band member Rickey Medlocke, on "Fox Chase". While the album did not spawn any hit singles, it was enough to keep the band's devoted fan base loyal and strong. It remains a popular staple in Blackfoot's catalogue. ^[3]
