Best Foghat Album Top to Bottom
From the title cut, Stone Blue, to Sweet Home Chicago, to Easy Money, to Chevrolet, this disc is consistent, almost to the point of being a concept album. Stone Blue (1978) is the best overall, studio Foghat album out there (Fool for the City with the classic Slowride is a close second). The production is superb. The Brits bros got it right with this disc.


THIS IS THE DISC TO BUY
The K2HD Remastering Is State Of The Art. This Disc Is The One You Want.
The Bass Lines Are Crisp,Clear And Lack Any Annoying Buzz. The Japanese
Have Taken This Remastering To A Higher Level. The Sound Quality Here Is
The Best You Will Hear,Unless You Were In The Studio When They Recorded It. The Drums Thump And Rod's Slide Work Soars. Spend The Extra Money!.


one of the underrated classics
outstanding piece of work that never really got its due !!!.


Foghat-Stone Blue a true must own classic
Rod Price on lead/slide is off the charts, Dave's vocals are right on and the bass section superb. If you like guitar,blues and great rock'n'roll mixed together than welcome to some perfection Lonesome Dave's way. Seven great cuts and one average, best rocked up renditions of It Hurt's Me Too, Chevrolet and Sweet Home Chicago you'll ever hear make this album a Blues/Rock must own. Now add Stone Blue, Midnight Madness, Easy Money and High On Love for some harder edge and you have a GREAT album. This album is in my top 25 list. Hear it, buy it. For other Foghat material worth owning check out the new DVD, Fool For The City, Live II and the latest with Charlie Huhn on vocals Family Joules.


Froghat never better
" This collection is their classic format: Superb original rock'n'roll like the title cut, "Easy Money," and especially "Midnight Madness" (my fave but sadly underappreciated by the mass audience) paired with their inimitable versions of timeless blues tracks like Robert Johnson's (the father of the blues) "Sweet Home Chicago," Elmore James's "It Hurts Me Too," and Earl McDaniel's "Chevrolet. Call 'em Froghat, Foghart, Hogfart, whatever twist on their odd name you want, this was the premier boogie band of the '70s without a doubt, and before they nose-dived in the '80s they had one last gasp of greatness with "Stone Blue. "

The other two cuts are throwaways, but the six listed above are so solid and so well worth repeated plays that I can't rate this less than five stars. It ranks with "Fool For the City" and "Energized" as their best ever.
