RELEASED 30.4.2012
Foghat followed the success of their first two albums with the two albums on this CD, both issued in 1974. “Energised” (another gold album and the first to feature the Foghat logo) was again produced by Tom Dawes and features the concert favourites “Honey Hush” and “Home In My Hand”, as well as an highly-charged version of Buddy Holly’s “That’ll Be The Day”. “Rock And Roll Outlaws” (also gold) was produced by Nick Jameson (ex of Bearsville label-mates American Dream), who joined the band on bass. As the band toured incessantly, “Eight Days On The Road” became another live staple. The package contains all the lyrics (for the first time) and brand new extensive notes by Bearsville Records expert Paul Myers (author of “A Wizard, A True Star: Todd Rundgren In The Studio”), who has interviewed Roger Earl specially for these re-issues.
