Blues, Boogie, and rock and roll all in one cool CD!


Although from the U. As the author of the Jefferson Airplane book "Take Me To A Circus Tent" and a former radio disc-jockey, I am often asked to write and or discuss various recordings from the 60's and 70's. K. Foghat in terms of sales and popularity would call America home. When the new group formed three of the four members had played with the British blues based Savoy Brown ("Lonesome" Dave Peverett on guitar and vocals, bassist Tony Stevens, and drummer Roger Earl). The new project enabled them to flex their muscles a bit further. They would be loyal to the blues but could rock out a bit more. Rod Price guitar, slide guitar, and vocals solidified a solid lineup.

"Energized" is the bands third album. It finds them clicking on all cylinders. From the brilliant opening track, a cover of "Honey Hush" to the end of the ride with "Nothin' I Wouldn't Do" there is remarkable consistency.

"Step Aside" tilts to the rock and roll spectrum but the vocals give you a taste of the blues. Peverett and Price are terrific players and have gotten accolades over the years but overlooked is their ability to be authoritative singers in and out of the studio.

"Golden Arrow" mixes the blues with a cool rock and roll riff. The tune is enhanced by a vocal effect. Listen closely to how well it fits the construction of the song.

"Home In My Hand" is why the album is energized. A blowtorch in your face that doesn't loose steam.

"Wild Cherry" in parts could remind you of the Yardbirds "Train Kept A Rolling. " Blues and rock that keep you on board for every note.

"That'll Be The Day" is the Buddy Holly hit. A bit updated here but they pay homage to an influence short and to the point!

"Fly By Night" with a strong vocal and well balanced instrumentation is another quality tune.

"Nothin' I Won't Do" ends the festivities and leaves a blues calling card. A nice finish to a strong set of songs!

In Memory of Dave Peverett who left us too early (February 7th, 2000). Rest and peace and thanks for the sounds!

Enjoy the music and be well,
Craig Fenton
Author of the Jefferson Airplane book "Take Me To A Circus Tent"

Still their best!
Taken as a whole, "Energized" rocks as hard, yet manages to be more varied in its approach (check out the funky landscape of 'Step Outside') without going to extremes, making repeat listens a lot more desirable. Yes, 'Fool For The City' had the hits, but it was a little more 'pop' than this album. Their no-nonsense, non-gimmicky style seems to appeal to just about anyone who apprecites 70s-style rock. I bought the album in '74 and now have the CD. . . . it is still one of my all-time favorites.


Great Foghat
This mix of hot originals and driving covers has no ballads and never slows down. This album is one of Foghat's finest ever. The best track on the album has got to be "Step Outside", which is a strong encouragement to do all of that which life has to offer, but the rest is great, too. This album will remain in rock's consciousness long after more recent groups like Poison are long forgotten.


THIS WAS WHAT I LEARNED IN SCHOOL!
The year all the monumental rock lps came out. Remember skipping class,riding around and smoking Js? 1974. back then we only had a handful of artists and bands, so when the albums came out,for a few days rock fans were mesmorized by the new grooves. Today there are so many musicians,groupsand bands ,I, am overwhelmed. But back to the CD this is clasic Foghat when they were in their best creativity and rythmem The three members Lonesome Dave,Tony Stevens and Rodger Earl came from Savoy Brown and Rod Price Had joined them ,they came to the states and enjoyed much success . This is great work by them in their finest form. NP.
