Lonesome Dave's Purpose Statement..."Road Fever"
The true gem here is "Road Fever," with a classic and unrestrained Lonesome Dave performance on "Road Fever". Other than "Fool For The City," this may be Foghat's finest all-around album. . . "I'm back on the road and I ain't gonna stop, gonna roll till I'm old, gonna rock till I drop. . . " He DID, folks! Right up until the moment that cancer took him and he couldn't physically meet the challenge, Lonesome Dave used his gift. Just like Luther Allison and Albert Collins and precious few others who gave everything they had, right up to the end. This is a solid, joyful, rocking CD. Get it.


"The Bluebird's gone from the windy city"
I never heard much of this album played on the radio but when I heard "What a Shame" played on a juke box I had to have this record. This album (with the rock and the roll) and "Fool for the City" are probably Foghat's two best. Foghat took into the 70's a sound that to me seemed to evolve from 60's rock, which I considered a plus. I just wish "Terraplane Blues" was on this CD instead of on "Fool for the City". I think it would go better with this album. Foghat was also one of the best bands to hear live. Lonesome Dave passed away about 3 and a half years ago. Maybe not, but to me it seemed like this was one of the bands that suffered from the disco wave that began in the mid 70's. But disco was a fad, this is some prime rock and roll that should be in every 70's rock collection.


Quality Overlooked Gem!!!!!!!
This band is often remembered for "Slow Ride" and "Fool for the City" but this band has much more to offer. This is a quality album start to finish! I've often thought Foghat was one of the most overlooked bands of the 70's. Foghat rocks with the best of them on this album, with their blend of re-worked blues, such as "I Feel So Bad", and staight forward hard driving classics, such as "Ride, Ride, Ride". Also there are 2 fine ballads on this album, "It's Too Late" and "Couldn't Make Her Stay". This album is a "must have" for fans of 70's Rock and Roll, no music collection would be complete without.


Foghat Drops A Masterpiece The Second Time Around
The opener, "Ride, Ride, Ride", and "What A Shame", both contain social commentary in their lyrics, and the rest of the album catches a band that's still young and hungry. Foghat's second album is their first masterpiece. A rockin' good time in an era of James Taylor and John Denver.


True R & R
I saw Foghat with Wishbone Ash in New York in the 70's. Take me back and let the loud music play!
Argent has a song "God gave rock and roll to you," and he also gave us Foghat. You couldn't find two better rock bands at that time.

This CD is true Foghat. If you love rock & roll, buy this!!!.
