"Foghat's album STONE BLUE has been available on CD for several years now thanks to the good folks at Rhino records, but the real gem of this item is BOOGIE MOTEL. Although BOOGIE MOTEL went gold when it was initially released in 1979, this was not enough to persuade Rhino to re-release that album in addition to the others they have made available. Therefore, this review is based on the CD of STONE BLUE and a second hand record copy of BOOGIE MOTEL.Foghat is one of the most consistent bands I have ever had the pleasure of listening to. The STONE BLUE album is filled with their usual blues rock sound, and contains some of the band's best lyrics. The band said they intended STONE BLUE as a concept album telling the story of a man who runs from the law, but eventually settles in a new city where the love of a woman makes him change his ways. The songs "Stone Blue," "Chevrolet," and "Stay With Me," are the best cuts to listen to on this fine album, but don't take the concept hype too seriously.BOOGIE MOTEL is another solid album. It contains one weak song ("Third Time Lucky," which ironically was the radio hit on this album), but the good of the many outweighs the one by far. The first side of the original record (songs 1-4)seemed to be songs written from the point of view of a man who's always gettin' cheated on in love. The second side (5-7) is just your good ole raunchy Foghat tunes about sex. The second side is by far the most fun (although don't miss track 1, "Somebody's Been Sleepin' In My Bed"). The title song is by far Foghat's most underated song ever.I strongly recommend this release to anyone who groans when Kurt "Whiny Rich Guy" Cobain's music comes on the radio. Foghat is for people who remember that rock and roll is about having fun and good musicianship."

"Go buy this cd now! Foghat never put out a bad tune and these are some of their best without a doubt. For those of you that don't know, Lonsome Dave Peverett died of a heart attack a couple of months back. He was the voice and soul of the band. I would have to disagree with the gentleman about "Third Time Lucky". The melodies and harmonies in this song touch the soul of the teenager I used to be (20 yrs ago) and take me right back. It's a beautiful thing! Other than that, we're on the same page. Foghat rocks! These two albums are timeless and listenable for years past and to come. Give them a listen, you won't be disappointed. sammy66"
