English boogie/blues-rock band formed by former Savoy Brown members in the early 1970s, known for slide-guitar work and energetic live performances.

Foghat formed from members who left Savoy Brown in the late 1960s/early 1970s and relocated to the United States. They are best known for albums such as Fool for the City (which includes the hit "Slow Ride"), Stone Blue, and the commercially successful Foghat Live (1977). Founder and frontman Dave Peverett (Lonesome Dave) died in 2000; slide guitarist Rod Price died in 2005. The band is widely cited for its boogie/blues-rock sound and strength as a live act.

Three DeBaser reviews emphasize Foghat's raw boogie/blues-rock, exceptional slide guitar work (Rod Price) and the heartfelt leadership of Dave Peverett. Reviewers highlight the band's strength live, classic studio albums (Stone Blue, Fool for the City) and a straightforward, no-frills rock approach. Overall the coverage is admiring and nostalgic.

For:Fans of 1970s boogie/blues-rock, slide-guitar enthusiasts and listeners of classic hard rock.

 Gritty and straightforward like no other band, they exude passion and sincerity at every turn, blessed with a killer bass and drum groove and an insanely wild lead guitar, especially slide.

  Discover the review

 Foghat is a boogie rock powerhouse full of grit and sweat that dominated the United States for almost thirty years, releasing a ton of albums and holding thousands of concerts, until a bad illness took their leader Dave Peverett nine years ago, and everything since then started to take on indistinct contours.

 Being authentically rockers also means getting goosebumps of joy when coming across records like this, recorded with musicians playing together in the studio, side by side like on stage, with the only variation being the singer facing them, watching and getting pumped up while barking into the microphone.
