When it comes to paying tribute to the blues greats, few classic rock acts have done as much as Foghat over the years. <\/p>\n
When it comes to paying tribute to the blues greats, few classic rock acts have done as much as Foghat over the years. <\/p>\n
Case in point, their first hit single was a classic cover of Willie Dixon\u2019s \u201cI Just Want To Make Love To You,\u201d and they organized a 1977 star-studded NYC concert that benefited the start of the Blues Archive at the New York Public Library. Foghat was the \u2018house band\u2019 backing their special guests including Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, Johnny Winter, Paul Butterfield, Honeyboy Edwards, Eddie Kirkland and many others). <\/p>\n
The group continues to pay homage to blues masters, as evidenced by their latest release, 2010’s ‘Last Train Home.’ which contains covers of several blues classics such as \u201cSo Many Roads, So Many Trains\u201d and \u201cShake Your Money Maker,\u201d and a few new originals.<\/p>\n
And now, LP collectors will get an opportunity to add this killer album to their collection, as it will be issued in a limited edition of 1,000 copies, as a blue vinyl\/double album with gatefold sleeve (including plenty of photos, and liner notes by Classic Rock Revisited founder Jeb Wright). \u201cLast Train Home\u201d is the culmination of a dream shared by Roger Earl and Lonesome Dave Peverett who passed away in 2000. The album will be issued on February 7th, which will mark the 12 year anniversary of his passing.<\/p>\n
\u2018Last Train Home\u2019 sees Foghat\u2019s line-up – Roger Earl (drums), Charlie Huhn (vocals\/rhythm & lead guitar), and Bryan Bassett (lead & slide guitar) – joined by several special guests, including harmonica player Lefty Lefkowitz, Earl\u2019s brother, Colin, on piano, and Eddie \u2018Bluesman\u2019 Kirkland (who we sadly lost in a car accident last February). Due to a prior commitment for the band\u2019s bassist, Craig MacGregor, Jeff Howell, formerly of Foghat, Savoy Brown and the Outlaws filled in for the recording.<\/p>\n
One of classic rock’s most enduring acts will soon be revisiting the format that originally made them stars, with a beautifully assembled vinyl version of ‘Last Train Home.’<\/p>\n
