-
Image
Ronnie Baker Brooks is a powerhouse Chicago blues guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter who carries the torch of a legendary musical lineage. Born into blues royalty as the son of Hall of Famer Lonnie Brooks, Ronnie didn’t just inherit the music—he lived it. He cut his teeth learning directly from master icons like B.B. King, Albert Collins, and Willie Dixon. Today, the multiple Blues Music Award winner seamlessly blends authentic Chicago roots with a high-octane mix of rock, funk, and soul. “I’m blessed to have learned from the best,” Brooks says. “I’m carrying them within me.” 🎵 LISTEN & SUPPORT THE ALBUM ▶ Listen to Album Samples (Click to Expand) Add this Record to Your Collection Available on CD and in Digital Formats. 🛒 Buy Album on Amazon Store As an Amazon Associate, Bman earns from qualifying purchases.

Cleopatra Records artist: Foghat - Slow Ride - Live In Concert - New Release Review

-
Image
 I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Slow Ride - Live In Concert , from Foghat and it's an excellent record of the energy produced by one of the best blues rock bands of their time. Spawned from Savoy Brown, Kim Simmonds brain child, Lonesome Dave Peverett (vocal and guitar), Tony Stevens (bass), Roger Earl (drums), joined up with slide master Rod Price and Foghat was an immediate hit. This concert was recorded in 1999 after the departure of Price and joined by Molly Hatchet's Bryan Bassett resulting in this line up. Opening with Drivin' Wheel , Bassett's gain saturated slide work gets things going and Peverett's incredible pipes lead on this terrific opener. Always known as a potent rocker Earl and Stevens provide a serious bottom. Excellent opener. On Elmo James' deep blues, It Hurts Me Too , again Peverett and Bassett have just a magical sound. Soulful vocals and overdriven slide is killer and with Earl and Stevens on the bottom, th...

Foghat Records presents: Foghat - Sonic Mojo - New Release Review

-
Image
 I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Sonic Mojo , from Foghat and it's a super classic blues based rocker. Opening with She's A Little Bit of Everything, Foghat shows that they still know how to rock. Teaming up with Savoy Brown's Kim Simmonds on writing, this track has that swagger. Foghat originated from Savoy Brown when Lonesome Dave Peverett and Roger Earl left Savoy Brown to pursue a more rocking sound and Simmonds kept his band which was really the king of boogie bands. This track is anchored by Earl on drums and fronted by Scott Holt and Bryan Bassett on vocals and guitars, with Rodney O'Quinn on bass and vocal and Eddie Lefebvre on percussion. With it's driving rhythm, catchy melody and stinging guitar, it's a solid opener. Simmonds' pen is definitely on Drivin' On with it's boogie feel and featuring Bassett on slide. Earl and O'Quinn really push the bottom making this one of my favorites tracks on the release...

Driving Wheel - Foghat

-
Image
Foghat is a British rock band that had their peak success in the 1970s. Their style can be described as "blues-rock" or boogie-rock, dominated by electric and electric slide guitar. The band has achieved 8 gold records, one platinum and one double platinum record. The band had far more success in the United States than home in Britain. Rod Price on guitar/slide guitar joined after he left the Black Cat Bones in December 1970. The new lineup was named "Foghat" (a nonsense word from a childhood game played by Peverett and his brother) in January 1971. Their 1972 album, Foghat was produced by Dave Edmunds and had a cover of Willie Dixon's "I Just Want to Make Love to You", which received much airplay, especially on FM stations. The band's second self-titled album was also known as Rock and Roll for its cover photo of a rock and a bread roll, and it went gold. Energized came out in 1974, followed by Rock and Roll Outlaws and Fool for the City in 1975...

Sweet Home Chicago - Foghat

Foghat is a British rock band that had its peak success in the mid- to late-1970s. Their style can be described as "blues-rock," or boogie-rock[1] dominated by electric and electric slide guitar. The band has achieved five gold records. The group remained popular during the disco era, but their popularity waned in the early 1980s. The band initially featured Dave Peverett ("Lonesome Dave") on guitar and vocal, Tony Stevens on bass, and Roger Earl on drums. After leaving Savoy Brown in December 1970, they added Rod Price on guitar/slide guitar and formed Foghat in January 1971. Their 1972 album Foghat was produced by Dave Edmunds and had a cover of Willie Dixon's "I Just Want to Make Love to You" which received much airplay, especially on FM stations.

It Hurts Me Too

-
Image
"It Hurts Me Too" is a blues standard that is "one of the most interpreted blues. First recorded in 1940 by Tampa Red, the song is a mid-tempo eight-bar blues that features slide guitar. It borrows from earlier blues songs and has been recorded by many blues and other artists. Unfortunately I can't find any Tampa Red footage. Foghat was formed when Savoy Brown (Kim Simmonds) decided he didn't want to depart so far from the blues and into rock. The basis of the band went off picking up Rod Price on slide guitar and made a good career. This is Foghat playing their Savoy Brown Blues Roots. Both Dave Pevrett and Rod Price are now gone, but the legend lives on. Get Facebook support for your favorite band or venue - click HERE Enjoy!
