FOGHAT – “FOOL FOR THE CITY” – CANDY419

Of all the British bands that were big in America during the 1970s, Foghat were, without doubt, the least known in the UK. With a succession of hit albums to their name it was not unusual for them to achieve gold-selling status and pack out large venues in every US city they visited. Their monstrously heavy style of twelve-bar boogie and pounding musical riffs cemented them a reputation second to none.

“Fool For The City” is a work of perfection. Produced by bassist Nick Jameson, it boasts a number of killer tracks, including the eight minute center piece “Slow Ride“, together with “Drive Me Home” (featuring the sound of a real car crashing) and the crushing title track. Housed in one of the most humorous album sleeves of the era, the record is a golden milestone in the hard rock pantheon.

SPECIAL DELUXE COLLECTOR’S EDITION. Fully remastered sound shaped from 24 BIT digital technology, Features the definitive monster boogie anthems “Fool For The City” and “Slow Ride“, 16 page full color booklet, 3,500 word essay, enhanced artwork, memorabilia, rare photos and new interviews

TRACK LISTING: 1. Fool for the City 2. My Babe 3. Slow Ride 4. Terraplane Blues 5. Save Your Loving (For Me) 6. Drive Me Home 7. Take It or Leave It

FOGHAT – “LIVE” – CANDY420

“Foghat Live” was a defining moment for both the band and their audience. It is without doubt one of the greatest live albums of all-time. The quality and contents are undeniable – a blistering example of unrelenting hard rock muscle. Featuring six full-on live versions of the band’s finest tracks, it captures the band in prime form, blessed with the cream of the group’s compositions – no room for back peddling or inconsequential ballads with this band.

The record explodes from the opening salvo of “Fool For The City” through a succession of crushing rockers such as “Home In My Hand“, the eight minute “I just Want To Make Love To You“, and the frantic charge of “Road Fever“. Of course the ace in deck is the band’s boogie behemoth, “Slow Ride“, a track that defines everything you need to know about their style.
