The band formed with Dave Peverett on guitar and vocals, Tony Stevens on bass, and Roger Earl on drums. Rod Price on guitar/slide guitar joined after parting ways with the Black Cat Bones in December 1970. Their success was mainly in the US, which is where the band relocated. The new line up was named “Foghat”, which was a nonsense word from a childhood game played by Peverett and his brother. Their 1972 album “Foghat” was produced by Dave Edmunds and had a cover of Willie Dixon’s “I Just Want to Make Love to You” which earned itself a lot of airplay especially on the FM stations. Their sophomore self-titled album was released in March 1973 and known by fans as Rock and Roll because of its cover depicting a rock and bread roll. “Energized” was their third studio album, released in January 1974, and was certified as an RIAA Gold Record in the United States. They released an album every year for until “Return of the Boogie Men”, which was their thirteenth studio album. The 1980’s saw the band go through numerous line up changes, including founding member Dave Peverett leaving in 1984 and returning to England. He was replaced with Earl Burgeson. The band continued performing as Foghat into the early 1990s.
In 1993, due to a request of producer Rick Rubin, the original line-up reunited. Rubin ultimately proved to be unavailable to produce their comeback, the group went ahead to release “Return of the Boogie Men” and then a live album entitled “Road Cases” in 1998.
Tragically, the 2000s saw the deaths of the founding members, Dave Peverett and Rod Price. The 2010 version of Foghat consisted of Roger Earl, Craig MacGregor, Charlie Huhn, and Bryan Bassett. At a concert during the summer of 2010 former Rainbow and Black Sabbath drummer Bobby Rondinelli had temporarily replaced Roger Earl while Roger was recovering from surgery.
The band have never stopped touring and recording. They released a single on July 9th 2013 called “The Word of Rock n’ Roll” a Christmas song on November 5th 2013, and a DVD in December 2013.
Foghat is a British rock band from the 1970's. When I was a kid my dad would always play Foghat songs on the radio but I was never really able to grasp the concept of music at such a young age. Fast forward to my adult years and Im in love in with Foghat, its just too bad they reached their peak success while I was still a kid in the 1970's, although I was able to catch Foghat on a reunion tour later in the century, so I called my dad up and we enjoyed this experience together.
We finally get there and members Roger, Craig, Bryan and Charlie are out front signing autographs before the show. I thought this was an amazing thing to do and showed how humble and to their roots they are. When the show started they opened up with songs from their self titled 1972 album. A few songs into it they switched it up and began playing songs off their 1979 album Boogie motel which was nice. All in all it was good to see the boys back together doing what they love as they gave me a night I will never forget!
