RARE IMPORT~Foghat "Stone Blue"LP~UNION TD-2053 SHRINK WRAPPED & LOOKS UNPLAYED.

Foghat has won eight gold records, a platinum record and a double-platinum record.

Stone Blue is the seventh album by Foghat, released in May 1978 on Bearsville Records. "It paired Foghat with producer Eddie Kramer, who had previously engineered recordings for Jimi Hendrix and Led Zeppelin. Besides the title track (a Top 40 hit), "Stone Blue" contained a ferocious cover of Robert Johnson's "Sweet Home Chicago," reasserting the band's blues credential. Overall a very solid album by Foghat.

Originally from England, Foghat certainly made an impression in the U.S. Known for incorporating the sound of slide guitar into their rock music, Foghat formed in 1971 in London after founding members Dave Peverett, Tony Stevens and Roger Earl left their previous English blues rock band, Savoy Brown.

Rod Price brought in the group’s signature slide guitar after he left Black Cat Bones. The band soon began a journey that would lead them to legendary rock star status.

The band's name originated from a word that Peverett and his brother John made up during a Scrabble-like game they were playing as children. Though legend has it that “Foghat” is a riff off the curse word, “fuck,” Peverett recalled that the name called back to his childhood when he and his brother John were making up “silly words” while playing a game.

“This word ‘Foghat’ came up and we thought it was hilarious at the time,” he said. “We never found a use for it for a while.”

When playing with Chris Youlden when he joined Savoy Brown, Peverett said Youlden wanted to change his name to Luther Foghat. But just after recording their self-titled debut album, which was released in 1972, the band needed a name. That’s when Peverett went into the memory bank and pitched ‘Foghat.’

“When we did the first album, we had it all ready to go, the artwork was done….we didn’t like the name we had at that time, which was Brandywine, which sounded like a Kingston trio kind of band,” Peverett said, noting that the name reminded him of a folk band. “I came up with the little drawing of the guy with this hat and everybody said ‘at least we’ve got a logo, we’ll go with the Foghat.’ And that was it.”

After relocating to the U.S. after signing with Bearsville Records, Foghat dominated the rock scene throughout the 1970s, with five of their albums certified gold for sales north of 500,000 copies. Two albums, Fool For the City and Foghat Live, both achieved platinum status for sales of a million copies or more. “Slow Ride,” “I Just Want to Make Love to You,” “Drivin’ Wheel” and “Third Time Lucky (First Time I Was a Fool)” are among their most recognizable hits.

2021 marked Foghat’s 50th anniversary. The band lives on today with the current lineup of original member Earl, along with Bassett, Rodney O’Quinn on bass guitar and lead singer and guitarist Scott Holt.
