i still have a warm place in my heart for frogfat. even though radio play of 'slowride' just about killed it.

It had to happen, Foghat get its own thread here!!! 

Where is Sgt. Dave yelling "stadium rock!!!" when you need him?!!!

I only yell that when certain Germans try to pass off a stadium rock band as an old fashioned blues band.

Weren't you the guy who preferred them over Roxy Music?

I prefer Heino to Roxy Music.

just because these guys rock, plain and simple. and johhny b. has to be one of the best AND most underrated drummers in the history of best and most underrated drummers.

I'm fine with Foghat, hey, I even bought Fool for the City as some fancy pants gold hifi remaster CD and their comparatively recent Essential double CD.

They've just released a new album (or a band bearing their name). Charly Huhn, he of Motorcity fame or notoriety, now sings with them. I think I would have preferred Derek St. Holmes to have gotten that job.

Roger Earl has been a constant feature; Craig MacGregor is in the present line up...

RIP Lonesome Dave and Rod the Bottle...

The story goes that my Hiwatt belonged to someone in Savoy Brown (afaik Kim Simmonds is Marshall until death so Lonesome or Tone?) but no way of knowing...

I feel their work started to slip around Boogie Motel - Road Cases is a great live album, mind you...

In memory of Robert Lockwood Jr on his birthday!



Mar. 27, 1915 / Nov. 21, 2006

Lockwood developed a style all his own becoming one of Blues most successful musicians. He was born in Turkey Scratch, Arkansas. He learned to play the guitar at age eleven from blues pioneer Robert Johnson and by the age of fifteen was playing professionally. After playing locally on the radio (where he mentored B.B. King), Lockwood moved to Chicago, Illinois in the 1950's and became a popular session musician for Chess Records. In 1960 he settled in Cleveland, Ohio performing regularly at Fat Fish Blue and other blues establishments. Late in his career he received recognition for his solo work with two of his albums, "I Got to find me a Woman" (1998) and "Delta Crossroads" (2000) receiving Grammy nominations. He toured the US, Europe and Japan regularly, won several National Blues Music Awards and WC Handy Awards and in 1989 was inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame. The music legend died in Cleveland after suffering a stroke.
