Friday Nite Retro
Good evening and welcome once again to Friday Nite Retro here at Left in Aboite! Tonight's feature artist came about when three members of Savoy Brown quit that band and formed a new group in 1970 - Ladies and gentlemen, I give you. . .FOGHAT!
Their 1972 album Foghat gave them a big hit with a cover of Willie Dixon's "I Just Want to Make Love to You":
I Just Want to Make Love to You
1975's Fool For the City spawned two more hits for the boys; the title track, and the song that most of you will remember, Slow Ride:
Fool for the City
Slow Ride
I just HAD to include this one, just for Der Parson (ahem):
Hardee's Commercial featuring Slow Ride
And, finally, their cover of the Robert Johnson blues standard:
Sweet Home Chicago
And a couple of personal favorites in audio format only:
Stone Blue
Third Time Lucky
That's it for tonight - Rock on, amigos!
Labels: FNR, Foghat, Hardees, Savoy Brown
