Somewhat neglected at home, Foghat were one of those classic American-styled British acts, such as Bad Company or Peter Frampton, who found massive stardom in the US playing definitively American music. The blues-rock on these two albums (the band's fifth and sixth) has its immediate roots in the British blues boom of the late 60s (the core of Foghat was Dave Peveret, Tony Stevens and Roger Earl, previously of seminal UK blues-boomers Savoy Brown); but while the early 70s in the UK mainstream...

Sound: Foghat: Live captures the British-based blues-rockers at the height of '70's arena rock. A unique time in rock touring history, the '70's were a time when numerous bands, who might not have sold millions upon millions of records (!), criss-crossed the US like so many coked-out vacuum cleaner salesmen stuck in a relentless record-tour-record-tour cycle...

For the past thirty-eight years, Foghat has forged its impeccable reputation as the iconic rock and roll band by doing what they do best, touring and playing live for their fans. Signature songs such as "Fool for the City" and "Slow Ride" have been forever sealed within the Hall of Fame of their older fans' minds, but the inclusion of "Slow Ride" on Guitar Hero III has helped to cultivate an entirely new generation of Fogheads...

The more things change, the more they remain the same. In some cases, like the revolving door of today's manufactured "artists," that's a bad thing. In the case of Foghat's Live 2, the follow up to Foghat's phenomenally successful 1977 release, Foghat Live, it's not only a good thing, it's a great thing...

Back when hard rock was dance music, Foghat seemed the definition of dumbgrease-monkey boogie. But now that their '70s hits ("Slow Ride,""Fool for the City") have turned up in Diet Coke ads and Dazed andConfused, they sound like the catchiest steamrollers on earth. Theygrowled odes to urban life and the lost highway with salt-of-the-earth heart, never making a consistent album-until now with The Best of Foghat.

The movers and shakers of Britain's mid-Sixties blues boom are still with us. Although their influence and ingenuity may be waning, their vigor and productivity have hardly dimmed since the blues boom peaked some five years ago. Among the most successful of these performers is Savoy Brown (together for seven years) who dropped their blues band tag awhile back and are rocking to new heights with no sign of slowing down...
