'About Foghat'

'

Foghat's speciality was hard-rocking, simple blues-rock, and they released a string of top-selling records in the mid-seventies. Although the band's basic boogie never varied, they attracted a massive audience 'til 1978, playing for sold-out crowds all over the States and earning a number of platinum and gold albums. Upon the arrival of disco and punk, the group's market would dramatically dip.

With their straightforward, three-chord stomps, the group's style was clearly American in origin, but the members were all Englishmen. Foghat had its roots in the British blues group Savoy Brown with Lonesome Dave Peverett on guitar and vocals, Tony Stevens on bass, and Roger Earl on drums. These three parted ways with the band in the early 'seventies. After this departure, they would establish Foghat with the addition of Rod Price on guitar. Foghat would relocate to the United States, landing a record deal with Bearsville Records, a recent label helmed by Albert Grossman. Their debut record, Foghat, would arrive in summer 1972, and the set would become a rock hit – even their cover of I Just Want to Make Love to You by Willie Dixon would make it into the lower reaches of the singles charts. On their sophomore album, the band stuck to the exact same formula – in fact, they did not even alter the name of the record. Like their debut album, the second was also christened Foghat and was distinguished by cover art picturing a rock and a roll. This second Foghat would be their first record to go gold, and it would cement their reputation as a hugely popular arena rock band. Their following six releases – 1974's Energized, 1974's Rock and Roll Outlaws, 1975's Fool for the City, 1976's Night Shift, 1977's Foghat Live, and 1978's Stone Blue – would all be bestsellers that would at least attain gold status. Fool for the City's single Slow Ride would be the band's biggest tune, rising to number 20 on the Billboard 100. Their most successful album would be Foghat Live, which would sell more than two million copies. Starting in 1975, the group would see a rotating door of bass players – in 1981, Price left the group and would be replaced with Erik Cartwright.

As the 'eighties waxed, Foghat's sales would rapidly decline. Their last record, Zig-Zag Walk (1983), would barely make the album charts. The band would break up shortly afterwards when Peverett retired from the road. The rest of the band members (Craig MacGregor, Erik Cartwright, and Roger Earl) would keep playing together under the name the Kneetremblers. After a few changes in lineup, they decided to reclaim the name of Foghat. The group would tour through the rest of the decade and into the 'nineties. Lonesome Dave was perhaps getting antsy in his early retirement and in 1990 established his own incarnation of Foghat to take on the road. After patching over their differences, the original Foghat (Earl, Peverett, Price, and Stevens) reunited in 1993 and spent years on the live circuit, issuing 1994's Return of the Boogie Man and 1998's Road Cases. The original group would part ways for good when Peverett passed away from cancer in February of 2000. After a period of some mourning, the group would soldier on with a new roster that included vocalist Charlie Hunn and, after two years on the road, they issued Family Joules in 2002. The band would tour for the next several years and would regularly release records of the live show: 2004's The Official Bootleg DVD, Volume 1 and 2007's Foghat Live II. By 2010, Foghat would be on their own label and would return to form with the bluesy Last Train Home. This set of original material and covers of several of their favorite blues tunes also included two tracks recorded with their pal Eddie Kirkland. To this day, Foghat continues to perform and record.

'Trivia'

'The band takes its name from a nonsense game that guitarist and singer Dave Peverett played as a child.'
