The band known as Foghat has had quite a stunning career. Having launched from Savoy Brown, Peverett, Earl, and Stevens joined forces with Rod Price to create the band that by 1972 with the release of their first album, would hit the enviable Gold status. Four albums later, their 1975 set – Fool For The City – would gain them Platinum status and provide for well-attended concerts. For a brief period of seven years, Foghat burned brightly. 1994 would see the return of the original four in The Return Of The Boogie Men, an album that featured 12 extraordinary songs as you would have expected Foghat to produce during their hey days. Since the passing of Peverett, Price, and MacGregor, and with only Roger Earl still interested, Foghat remains with a guided force.
On November 10, the Roger Earl-led Foghat will release a new album – Sonic Mojo. It marks the 17th release from the band, and will be issued via Foghat Records (distributed via Sun Records and Select-O-Hits Records). The new album will provide charged songs that include three written by Kim Simmonds of Savoy Brown. The first single from the upcoming new album is called “Drivin’ On”, which already drips with the same kind of music that early Foghat is known for. It’s becomes available on August 25.
Sonic Mojo will issue on CD, DD, and a Limited Edition 180g-weight neon purple color vinyl.
