Foghat are an English rock band formed in London in 1971. The band are known for incorporating electric slide guitar into their music. Their best known song is the 1975 single "Slow Ride". They have released 17 studio albums, including eight gold albums and one platinum, along with a double platinum live album. The band has experienced several line-up changes but continues to record and perform.
The original line-up consisted of Dave Peverett on guitar and vocals, Tony Stevens on bass, and Roger Earl on drums, all of whom had previously been members of Savoy Brown. Rod Price joined on guitar and slide guitar after leaving Black Cat Bones. The band name "Foghat" was created by Peverett and his brother in a word game. Their debut album, "Foghat" (1972), produced by Dave Edmunds, included a cover of Willie Dixon's "I Just Want to Make Love to You", a remake of Savoy Brown's "Leavin' Again (Again!)", and "Sarah Lee". Their second self-titled album, sometimes referred to as "Foghat (Rock and Roll)", achieved gold status. Subsequent releases included "Energized" (1974), "Rock and Roll Outlaws" (1974), and "Fool for the City" (1975). During this period, Stevens left the band and was temporarily replaced by Nick Jameson for the recording of "Fool for the City"; he was later replaced by Craig MacGregor. The band released "Night Shift" (1976), a live album in 1977, and "Stone Blue" (1978), all achieving gold certification. "Fool for the City" produced the hit "Slow Ride", and the live album "Foghat Live" reached double platinum status. Other singles included "Drivin' Wheel", "I Just Want to Make Love to You", "Stone Blue", and "Third Time Lucky (First Time I Was a Fool)".
