Foghat

Foghat comes full circle with their new release "UNDER THE INFLUENCE". Drawing from their collective musical influences, the band not only brought in some special guests from their past who helped launch and inspire the Foghat story, but also invited some new friends into the mix to continue the journey of this never idle band.

Foghat was 'spawned' from the British Blues band 'Savoy Brown' in 1971, so it was fitting to ask Savoy founder and guitarist Kim Simmonds to join in. As Roger Earl puts it "Kim gave me my shot!" As soon as Kim started playing, everyone was mesmerized!
Included on this release is a new recording of 'Slow Ride' to celebrate the 40th anniversary. They invited Nick Jameson, (original bass player and producer of 'Slow Ride' on the 1975 'Fool for the City' album) to play along with Foghat bassist Craig MacGregor who played bass on Foghat 'LIVE' (1977). They had a blast, and Foghat lead singer, Charlie Huhn, was as usual at the top of his game with his incredible vocals and guitar work!

And to round out the project the amazing Dana Fuchs added some of her bluesy/sultry vocals to a couple of tracks!

Three years in the making, Foghat had fun with this record and the result is an eclectic blend of rock and blues with a little funk and R&B on the side for good measure. It showcases the combined talent of all of the members both in the writing and the playing. This band never stops!
