They missed out on a goldmine by not licensing their name to other products.
Foghat's Hog Fat would've been a big seller.

One of my all-time favorite stories shared by others on ILM:
Sometime in the Summer of 1996, Foghat played after a minor-league baseball game in Louisville with Mountain and Iron Butterfly (I didn't actually witness this, unfortunately). According to my friends who were present, Foghat started the set by having the lead singer ask the audience, "Do we have your permission to JAM?!?!?" When he received a positive, enthusiastic response, he then yelled "Then jam we must!!!!" and they broke into a 20-minute version of "Slow Ride," which was basically their whole set. My friend Chris took off his shirt and twirled it 'round his head.― hstencil, Tuesday, April 8, 2003 3:06 PM (fourteen years ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

I love this album. Very old school very bluesy kick butt album. I don't know what album the guy who said it wasn't very good was listening to. But Under The Influence ROCKS!

It's an obvious thing to post, sure, but id does underline the fact that even in the sixties there was a reasonable suspicion about a lot of this stuff. And Clapton was his mate too, so there's also that.

Foghat's latest effort is a masterclass in musical alchemy, reigning in a stunning diversity influences -- everything from Cream to Led Zeppelin, the blues to blues-rock -- and proffering a record that is, at turns, both powerful and poignant. It's as if the band had finally decided to kick open the proverbial oak casks, those mythical vessels which contain all the LPs that have music on them that you like, and let the influence flow.

I remember listening to Foghat's 2010 album. I don't remember what it sounded like, but I remember listening to it.

While I don't doubt that modern Foghat is probably a very professional live outfit, I tend to doubt it really can scratch on the original band with Lonesome Dave and Rod Price. You really can't go wrong with any old 70s Foghat or Savoy Brown.
I always loved those two pictures. The funny thing about the Rock and Roll Outlaws cover shot is the plane was a total prop for the record, they didn't tour in one.

i call bs on the person who voted "I seek out and attend gigs by the surviving members of Blodwyn Pig." i don't think any of them still tour. though this would have been cool...
On 9 May 2016, Mick Abrahams, the legendary founding guitarist with Jethro Tull, Blodwyn Pig and the Mick Abrahams Band, brought together musical friends old and new, for a night of celebration of his music.
Mick was joined on stage at London’s Borderline by special guests, who included Mungo Jerry, Rick Wakeman, Geoff Whitehorn, Clive Bunker, Elliott Randall and more. Visit's Mick's Media for exclusive pictures from the night

I love straight up blues. Most blues rock always sound like it was made for people that own faded "Fuck Disco" t-shirts.
Blues metal is great except when it isn't.

"Wade in the Water" by Harvey Mandel is a stone cold groove and awesome psychedelia with strings. Recent find for me and a great track.
