For Immediate Release
NEWS: Foghat at the California State Fair
 

Foghat at the California State Fair
Classic Rock & Blues Band to Perform at 8:00 P.M.

WHAT:  With a history stretching back to the late 60s, Foghat’s hard work has been rewarded with seven Gold records, one Platinum record "Fool For The City" (1975), and one Double-Platinum record "Foghat Live" (1977). The "Fool For The City" album contained Foghat’s trademark Top 40 hit song "Slow Ride" and cemented their place as one of the world’s top rock acts. They continued to hit the charts in the 1970s with singles such as "Fool For The City," "Drivin’ Wheel," "I Just Wanna Make Love To You," "I’ll Be Standing By," "Stone Blue," "Third Time Lucky" and "Somebody’s Been Sleeping In My Bed"… many of which are still classic rock radio staples.  Although Foghat is often linked to the classic rock genre, the band has always had their roots in vintage blues.  So it shouldn’t come as much of a surprise to longtime fans that Foghat has reconnected with the blues on their latest album entitled “Last Train Home.”   Recorded both in New York at EKO Studios and at Foghat’s own studio, Boogie Motel South, the album combines covers of such blues classics as “So Many Roads, So Many Trains” and “Shake Your Money Maker,” as well as a few new originals.  One must not forget their roots, and Foghat once more reminds us that it’s the blues that just about every rock n’ roll style is built upon – as evidenced throughout their newest album.
