Rock and Roll Outlaws Foghat was an English rock group consisting of “Lonesome” Dave Peverett, Rod Price, Tony Stevens & Roger Earl. They had loads of top charting albums in the 70s & 80s on Bearsville Records. We now start a campaign to reissue their entire catalog in remastered versions. Rock And Roll Outlaws originally reached # 40 on the Billboard charts in 1974.
Customer Review: A Great Foghat Album, Now Even Better
ROCK AND ROLL OUTLAWS, Foghat’s follow-up to ENERGIZED , has now been given a warm, crisp remastering by Wounded Bird Records. The album has been underrated in the group’s pantheon for several reasons. First, it failed to achieve the commercial success of either its predecessor or the follow-up, FOOL FOR THE CITY. Secondly, it didn’t have any stand-out songs along the lines of “Fool For The City”, “Slow Ride”, or “Save Your Lovin’ (For Me).” Third, the album seemed a little bit overly calculated and consistent for fans, who couldn’t easily pick out a favorite song from the album. Nevertheless, this is a great CD that shouldn’t be missed.
Customer Review: Great Foghat album!
I always liked this CD - it was one of my favorites! I can’t say there’s a song on this album I don’t like. My favorite, though, has to be “Chateau Lafitte 59 Boogie”! I fell in love with this band back when I was in college, and although my taste in music have broadened hugely since then, I still like to dig out one of my Foghat CDs once in awhile for old times sake and rock out to Foghat! I just love Rod Price’s slide guitar and Dave’s vocals - they helped make the band unique. After the deaths of Rod Price and Dave Peverett, the band has re-formed with several new members, but, to me, it doesn’t sound much like the original band. This album is one of their best! I also recommend Energized, Night Shift, and The Return of the Boogie Men.
I did notice that it said this was a “remastered” version, which means they took the original master tapes back into the studio and did some re-mixing too. I can hear some of the effects they added or enhanced just listening to the clips here on my computer. I generally like what they’ve done remastering older music, but not always. Sometimes the guys at the mixer get a little carried away.
