Foghat

 

Foghat was an English rock band that had its greatest success in the mid- to late-1970s. Their music was "blues-rock", dominated by electric & electric slide guitar, and the band achieved five gold records.  The band featured Dave Peverett ("Lonesome Dave") on guitar and vocal, Tony Stevens on bass, and Roger Earl on drums. They added Rod Price on guitar/slide guitar and formed Foghat upon leaving Savoy Brown in December 1970. Their 1972 album Foghat had a hit with a cover of Willie Dixon's "I Just Want to Make Love to You". The band's second self-titled album was also known as Rock and Roll for its cover photo of a rock and a bread roll, and it went gold. Energized came out in 1974, followed by Rock and Roll Outlaws and Fool for the City in 1975, the year that Stevens left the band. Stevens was replaced temporarily by Nick Jameson in 1975 when the band recorded Fool For The City, Jameson's only alnum with the band.  In the next year he was replaced again permanently by Craig MacGregor in 1976, and the group produced Night Shift in 1976, a live album in 1977, and Stone Blue in 1978, each reaching "gold" record sales. Fool for the City spawned two hit singles, "Fool for the City" and "Slow Ride" (which reached number 20 on the US charts), but the greatest sales figures were for Foghat Live, which sold over 2,000,000 copies.   See Foghat LIVE!  Purchase your Foghat tickets today!
