Foghat é uma banda de rock britânica que teve o auge de seu sucesso na segunda metade da década de 1970. Seu estilo pode ser descrito como blues-rock, dominados por guitarras e guitarras slide. A banda conseguiu cinco discos de ouro, e conseguiu se manter popular durante a era da música disco; a popularidade do grupo, no entanto, entrou em declínio no início dos anos 80. A banda contava inicialmente com Dave Peverett ("Lonesome Dave") na guitarra e vocal, Tony Stevens no baixo e Roger Earl na bateria. Após os três saírem do Savoy Brown em dezembro de 1970, Rod Price foi chamado para a guitarra e a guitarra slide, e o Foghat foi formado oficialmente em janeiro de 1971. Seu álbum de 1972, Foghat, foi produzido por Dave Edmunds, e tinha um cover de "I Just Want to Make Love to You", de Willie Dixon, que foi muito tocada nas estações de rádio FM da época. O segundo álbum da banda, também chamado Foghat, chegou a obter um disco de ouro. O álbum seguinte, Energized, saiu em 1974, seguido por Rock and Roll Outlaws e Fool for the City em 1975, ano em que Stevens abandonou a banda, após se opor ao ritmo incessante das turnês, e foi substituído temporariamente por Craig MacGregor. Ainda com McGregor, o grupo produziu Night Shift em 1976, um álbum ao vivo em 1977, e Stone Blue em 1978, todos obtendo igualmente discos de ouro. Fool for the City continha o sucesso "Slow Ride", que chegou ao 20º lugar das paradas americanas, porém as maiores vendagens da banda foram registradas com Foghat Live, o álbum ao vivo, que ultrapassou a cifra de duas milhões de cópias...[Fonte:wikipedia]
