Foghat - Foghat 1972 (Full Album)

Renowned blues/rock band Foghat (a nonsense word made up in a game of scrabble between vocalist/guitarist Dave Peverett and his brother) were formed in 1971 and, although originally a British band, they’ve been rocking the US pretty solidly ever since. Willie Dixon’s I Just Want To Make Love To You was pretty much made their own, and the epic Slow Ride was a big hit Stateside too. The band had their roots in Savoy Brown, with Peverett, bassist Tony Stevens and drummer Roger Earl playing on several late 60s albums, culminating in 1970’s Looking In (and the subsequent tour that spawned the Just Live album), and were joined by lead / slide guitarist Rod Price, formerly of Black Cat Bones (their Barbed Wire Sandwich album essential listening). The band would also occasionally be supported by pianist Colin (brother of Roger) Earl, he of Mungo Jerry and King Earl Boogie Band.
