Foghat | Artist

Foghat is an English boogie-rock band formed 1971 in London by Roger Earl (drums), Lonesome Dave Peverett (vocals, guitar), Rod Price (guitar) and Tony Stevens (bass). The trio of Earl, Peverett and Stevens were previously with Savoy Brown, and Rod Price was previously with Black Cat Bones, alongside Paul Kossoff and Simon Kirke, before they formed Free. Soon after forming, the band relocated to the United States to sign a deal with Bearsville Records. Their debut album, Foghat (1972), was produced by Dave Edmunds and featured a cover of Willie Dixon's "I Just Want to Make Love to You" which received widespread airplay on FM stations. The album also included a remake of Savoy Brown's bluesy ode to the road "Leavin' Again (Again!)", and "Sarah Lee", a classic blues burner. The band's laid-back boogie sound featured the use of electric slide guitar, and wasn't a million miles away from the style of their former band Savoy Brown. They went on to release 17 studio albums, standouts include Foghat, Energized, Rock and Roll Outlaws, Fool For the City and Foghat Live. The band has achieved eight gold records, one platinum and one double platinum record, and despite several line-up changes, continue to record and perform. Roger Earl is the only remaining founding member in the present day lineup.
