See also album nr. 47) Foghat-Foghat (Rock'n'roll) 1974

This is Foghat's debutalbum. The cover looks promising and it certainly looks like this could contain some good rockin' music. But does it? Well, the first two songs impress with raw boogierockpower but after that it doesn't get very exiting. Like all of Foghat's albums, this one also lacks someting and it's no wonder they never got as big as some of their likes like ZZ Top for example.

Lonesome Dave, Tony Stevens and Roger Earl had been playing with Savoy Brown before the formed Foghat.

Lonesome Dave died in 2000 from cancer but he went on a last tour even though he was beeing treated for his illness.

Rod Price had before he joined Foghat released an album with Black Cat Bone in 1969. He also released 2 soloalbums in the 2000's. He died in 2005 at home from a heartattack.

1)I just wanna make love to you (Willie Dixon) (7,5) A Willie Dixon bluescover re-made into a heavy and raw boogierocker. Very raw!

2)Trouble trouble (7,5) A good bluesy rocker.

3)Leavin' again (Again!) (6,0) Rather boring song that hasn't got much substance.

4)Fools hall of fame (7,0) Heavy bluesboogie. The guitarplaying is so far quite boring...

5)Sarah Lee (5,5) Slow rocker. Typical Foghatsong. Nothing happens in a song that could have been so much better.

6)Highway (Killing me) (4,0) Boring slow song.

7)Maybelline (7,5) Good rockin' version of the Chuck Berry-song recorded in the 50's.

8)A hole to hide in (7,0) An okey song but there's something missing.

9)Gotta get to know you (3,0) Really really boring 8 minute-end to this album.

Score: 6,11
