It’s been over 53 years since anyone had to ask: “What’s a Foghat?” The reason no one asks anymore is obvious.
Foghat: Boogie Kings for Over Five Decades
In 2024, Foghat celebrates 53 years of rock ‘n’ roll history. This legendary band released their latest album, Sonic Mojo, in November 2023, which debuted at #1 on the Billboard Blues Charts and as of June 2024, the album had remained on the charts for 27 weeks. Known for their infectious boogie rock, Foghat continues to captivate audiences, delivering high-energy performances that are just as thrilling today as they were in 1977 when their classic multi-platinum album, Foghat Live, broke them worldwide.
Foghat’s timeless appeal spans generations. Their concerts attract Baby Boomers, Gen X’ers, Millennials, and younger fans alike. Whether discovered through the video game Guitar Hero III, the movie Dazed & Confused, or the inclusion of “Slow Ride” in Top Gun/Maverick (2023), fans unite under the band’s electric energy and boogie-inducing music.
Sonic Mojo and Recent Acclaim
Foghat’s new album, Sonic Mojo, has been met with widespread critical acclaim. The album showcases Bryan Bassett’s slide guitar mastery, earning praise for its blend of blues, rock, and country influences. Critics highlight tracks like “She’s A Little Bit of Everything,” “Mean Woman Blues,” and “Drivin’ On” for their dynamic energy and exemplary guitar work (ROCK AND BLUES MUSE) (Blues Rock Review) (100% ROCK MAGAZINE) (Front Row Report).
Rock and Blues Muse commended the band’s ability to infuse new life into classic tracks while maintaining their authentic sound. Blues Rock Review rated the album 9/10, emphasizing Bassett’s slide guitar as a standout element. 100% Rock Magazine noted the band’s seamless blend of influences and praised the precision of the guitar work. Front Row Report described Sonic Mojo as a fun and engaging album, perfect for road trips, and lauded it as one of the strongest records in Foghat’s extensive career.
In addition to Bryan Bassett’s remarkable contributions, the reviews also highlight the stellar performances of other band members. Roger Earl’s drumming is described as dynamic and driving, anchoring the band’s powerful rhythm section. Scott Holt’s vocals and guitar work have been praised for their energy and compatibility with the band’s classic sound. Rodney O’Quinn’s bass lines provide a solid foundation, contributing to the album’s overall groove and feel.
