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.
