This week on The Rock Pod, Jimmy grabs his slide guitar and dives deep into the blues-soaked, boogie-fueled legacy of Foghat—the British rockers who turned American barrooms into rock arenas. From their roots in Savoy Brown to their meteoric rise with "Slow Ride", we unpack the hits, the heartbreaks, the hell-raising tours, and the unsung influence they've had on rock 'n roll.

It’s three hours of high-octane riffs, backroom stories, and gritty grooves. Whether you're a longtime fan or just now dusting off your vinyl, this one's for you.
