Seconded. Even post-Dave's death ersatz Foghat still draws 'em bya couple thousand in hinterland gigs. Last summer they got top billing at the Bethlehem Music Fest, an astonishing trick having todo with the solidity of their presence in the local FM. This,even with Charlie Huhn on vocals, a man who sounds nothing likeLonesome Dave, but rather Bon Scott.

The only other two things I know about Foghat is that they played this small bar in the shitty part of town in Muncie around 88 or 89 called Hendersons, which maybe could hold 150-200 people. A classic rock rumor was that Foghat's drummer had a motorized drum stool that would spin him around when he did his drum solo. I've never confirmed this mind you, but this was a rumor put out by a friends older angeldusted brother who also claimed that George Thorogood blew the Stones off the stage and 38 Special was awesome because they had three guitarists and TWO drummers, so it may not be a reliable source.
Savoy Brown is one of those bands like the Atlanta Rhythm Section or Wishboy Ash that was around forever, I met people who liked their records, but I haven't heard even one song.

Torture! You have my sympathy.

Never saw it but saw Foghat many times including during the late '80's when various members of the band would fight with Dave,necessitating the hiring of assorted ringers. Perhaps this was more than was safe for good mental hygeine.

always great with the covers (Gone Dead Train, I Want To Do Everything For You, This Flight Tonite, Hollis Brown, Love Hurts, etc)...

One more great cover. Definitely prefer this to the original. I'm not sure if it's been mentioned elsewhere, but Ram Jam will now live forever thanks to Rayman. One of the best video game moments that I've ever had.
