Best known for their live performances and classic rock anthems "Slow Ride" and "Fool For The City", which remain in rotation on many rock radio stations to this day, Foghat continues to bring their hard-edged rock boogie blues to the masses, as tour dates for 2007 have been firmed up.
The group, which features Roger Earl (drums), Craig MacGregor (bass), Charlie Huhn (vocals/guitars) and Bryan Bassett (lead/slide guitar), will issue .Live II.. Thirty years ago the Double Platinum .Foghat Live. was released. It is considered to be one of the best live albums of the 70.s. Metro City Records, in conjunction with Foghat Records, will issue a follow-up to .Live. with a self-produced 2-CD set entitled .Live II. on May 22nd. It promises to add to their long list of Gold And Platinum records.
Recorded live in California in 2005, .Live II. features high energy versions of Foghat classics like .Drivin. Wheel., and .I Just Want To Make Love To You. as well as the aforementioned .Slow Ride. and .Fool For The City.. The set will also include several additional studio rehearsal bonus tracks. Leading up to this release was the 2003 studio album, .Family Joules. as well as .The Official Bootleg DVD Volume 1. from 2004. As evidenced by these releases, Foghat still has no problem whipping up a blues-rock frenzy for their audience. Your chance to catch the band in the flesh is approaching fast as they will be touring non-stop throughout the year.
Label head Bill Proulx says, .Metro City Records is very proud to sign Foghat. This group is one of the premier bands of classic rock and boogie blues. Foghat is one of the bands I always felt that just didn't get enough credit for their creative and energetic output. Our goal is to give them the full recognition they deserve. The band also brings to the label an artist that already has a well-established fan base and a commitment to continue putting out great music. I look forward to participate in the continued success of the band."
