After establishing a new level of credibility on record with 1974's Energized, Foghat cranked out another album of boogie rock before the year ended. The result, Rock and Roll Outlaws, is not as consistently inspired as its predecessor but remains a worthwhile listen for the group's fans…
Boasting eight gold records, one platinum record (1975's 'Fool For The City'), and one double-platinum record (1977's 'Foghat Live'), Foghat cemented their place as one of the world’s biggest hard rock bands of the 70s with iconic hits such as ‘Slow Ride’, ‘Fool for the City’ and ‘I Just Wanna Make Love to You’.‘The Complete Bearsville Albums Collection’ contains all 13 of Foghat’s albums released on Bearsville Records, newly remastered and sounding better than ever.
Great "Best of" cd plus the First album as a bonus, first off "Fool For The City", "Home in my Hand" and "Slow Ride" are live tracks taken from the "Live" album, the other 12 songs on the "Best of" cd are studio tracks, the other cd is the 9 track debut album, comes with a nice 10 page booklet of photo's and a well written history of the band written in 1998 by Derek Oliver…
Recorded mostly in 1976, with bonus tracks taken from a 1974 concert, King Biscuit Flower Hour: In Concert is quite possibly the best live Foghat album on the market - it boasts better sound quality and lengthier jams than the somewhat abbreviated Foghat Live album from 1977, and it features the band during the prime years of their career, unlike the latter-day Road Cases. There's also a studio re-recording of "Leavin' Again" and a band interview padding out the disc, but the main emphasis is on the band's concert fireworks, and they deliver exactly what their fans want.
Rhino's The Best of Foghat is an excellent 16-track collection featuring every one of the hard-rocking boogie band's best-known songs, from "Slow Ride" and "I Just Want to Make Love to You" to "Fool for the City," "Drivin' Wheel," and "Ride, Ride, Ride." In short, it's all the Foghat most fans will ever need.
