FOGHAT/FOGHAT (ROCK AND ROLL) BR 2136 (-73) US


  For band background check post on their debute  https://monolover.blogspot.com/2023/11/foghat-br-2027-72-us.html . That was seriously well played heavy blues on the border to hard rock. And on this follow-up you get more of the same. The title is sometimes listed as eponymous and sometimes as "Rock And Roll" due to the rock and breadroll on front sleeve. I hear here a seamless blend of hard rock, blues and boogie, mostly savagely performed by brilliant gutars to hard core bass and drums, conveyed by excellent audio. Probably won't fit at a posh disco or as background to holding hands in front of the fire, but whenever you're in the mood for being hit by rock'n'roll steamroller it will do the work. It's one of those albums that works best listened to all in a row, but if to choose favorite tracks it'd be "Long Way To Go" and "She's Gone". So same procedure as on the debute, but that's fine with me. Why change a winning formula? Issued and reissued pretty much all over the world on vinyl and/or CD through the years, also cassette, reel and 8-track. First UK on Bearsville (K 45514). Japan 2008 remastered CD in paper sleeve on Bearsville (VICP 64281). Premiere US had label as shown here in a fully laminated cover, some with promo insert.  (YZÄ*)
