Foghat

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.

FOGHAT continues to captivate fans of all ages because their music is timeless. They're still touring relentlessly and performing with an energy that keeps a youthful spirit alive, no matter how old they may be. On "SONIC MOJO," founding member and drummer Roger Earl is joined by guitarist, engineer, and co-producer Bryan Bassett (known for Wild Cherry and Molly Hatchet), bassist Rodney O’Quinn (from Pat Travers Band), and on lead vocals and guitar, Scott Holt (associated with Buddy Guy).

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.

Breaking away from Savoy Brown to form this band, the members of Foghat knew from the start what sort of record they wanted to make. With heavy emphasis on the hard boogie, Foghat got down to work with the help of Dave Edmunds and crafted a hard rock gem. Covering Chuck Berry's "Maybellene," they goosed the beat up until it was almost a precursor of the heavy metal yet to come. Interspersing covers with original material, they immediately found a place for themselves in the rock world.
