Perhaps no band better exemplifies the 1970's than the "velvet thunder" of Foghat. Their first three albums, released between 1973 and 1975, along with their 1977 Live album are perfect time capsules of the era and are preserved in sonic ember as representations of the sound that would become known as 70's Arena Rock. Sadly the developing sounds of heavy metal and punk would largely designate Foghat as irrelevant and even later genres of loud music also failed to give the band any due credit while heaping endless praise on their 70's peers including Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple and Aerosmith. On this episode we offer them some long overdue appreciation.
