Bio:
Foghat are an English rock band formed in London in 1971. The band is known for its prominent use of electric slide guitar in its music.The band has achieved 8 gold records, one platinum and one double platinum record, and despite several lineup changes, continues to record and perform to the present day.The band initially featured Dave Peverett ("Lonesome Dave") on guitar and vocals, Tony Stevens on bass, and Roger Earl on drums when they left Savoy Brown in 1970. Rod Price on guitar/slide guitar joined after he left the Black Cat Bones in December 1970. The new line-up was named "Foghat" (a nonsense word from a childhood game played by Peverett and his brother) in January 1971. Their 1972 album, Foghat was produced by Dave Edmunds and had a cover of Willie Dixon's "I Just Want to Make Love to You", which received much airplay, especially on FM stations. Additional tracks on this initial offering include a remake of the Savoy Brown bluesy ode to the road "Leavin' Again (Again!)" and "Sarah Lee", a classic blues burner featuring Rod Price's slide guitar solo. 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 after objecting to their endless touring schedule. Stevens was replaced temporarily by producer Nick Jameson in 1975 when the band recorded Fool for the City. In the next year, Jameson was replaced by Craig MacGregor 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 the hit single "Slow Ride" (which reached #20 in the US), but the greatest sales figures were for Live, which sold over 2,000,000 copies. More hits followed: "Drivin' Wheel"; "I Just Want to Make Love to You" (from the live album); "Stone Blue"; and "Third Time Lucky (First Time I Was a Fool)". Rod Price left the band in November 1980, unhappy with the group's still constant touring and the shift away from their hard boogie sound towards a more new-wave-influenced pop direction. After months of auditions he was replaced by Erik Cartwright by February 1981.On 9 July 2013, the band released a single called "The Word of Rock n' Roll", a Christmas song (an instrumental version of "Winter Wonderland") on 5 November 2013, and released a new DVD (Live in St. Pete) in December 2013.November 10, 2015 Foghat announced they would start making a new studio album and the album will be completely fan-funded through a PledgeMusic Campaign. The album will be titled Under The Influence and has a tentative release date for June 24, 2016. "We have several new songs, a couple of Savoy Brown songs, and a couple of ‘covers’ and we are very excited about this record!"
Album:
You really can't count a vintage rock band out. Surely keeping a regular presence on the radio in the 1970s with hits like "Fool For The City," "Stone Blue," and "Slow Ride," Foghat were a rockin' foursome to be reckoned with back in the day. Though these road warriors has seen some big personnel changes over the years, Foghat, led by sole original member, drummer and captain of their bluesy boogie-woogie ship Roger Earl, has an album out for 2016 called Under The Influence, which has debuted on Billboard's "Hard Rock Albums" chart at #17. Not bad for a 45-year-old institution.Under the Influence features the longest running incarnation of Foghat, a tighter-than-tight lineup featuring Earl, lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist Charlie Huhn, lead and slide guitarist Bryan Bassett and bassist Craig MacGregor (who has been with the Hat since 1976) make for a damn formidable group of heavy hard hitters with high style. From the opening slide-led title track, to the swampy stomp of the longing-for-love stomper "Ghost" (Huhn sounding especially great on this one), to the blues of "She's Got A Ring In His Nose," we are in familiar territory with this rock and blues concoction.The cover of Marvin Gaye's "Heard It Through The Grapevine" doesn't quite measure up to the high bar set by Creedence Clearwater Revival, and the "Slow Ride" remake wasn't entirely necessary. But if you yearn for the riffing interplay between Huhn and Bassett, MacGregor holding down the bottom end, and Earl hitting as hard as he did in 70s ("Heart Gone Cold," with its women-done-bad-to-men lyrics, is filled with all the essential elements), Under The Influence is classic Foghat.
