4.0 out of 5 stars Still their best!, December 16, 2003

This review is from: Energized (Audio CD)

Yes, 'Fool For The City' had the hits, but it was a little more 'pop' than this album. Taken as a whole, "Energized" rocks as hard, yet manages to be more varied in its approach (check out the funky landscape of 'Step Outside') without going to extremes, making repeat listens a lot more desirable. Their no-nonsense, non-gimmicky style seems to appeal to just about anyone who apprecites 70s-style rock. I bought the album in '74 and now have the CD....it is still one of my all-time favorites.

5.0 out of 5 stars one of the best boogie blues-rock albums of all time, October 15, 1999

I am a Foghat fan from way back. This album propelled them into the national spotlight.Home in my hand , and Wild cherry are about as good as rock gets. It displays an unsurpassed energy that hadn't been heard at that time. By the way , the guitarist was not Kim Simmonds, it was Rod Price. Kim Simmonds was Savoy Browns guitarist.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great Foghat album!, August 19, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Energized (Audio CD)

Foghat is a great 70's blues/rock boogie band. They were a huge stadium draw at one time, although I think this album was made before they had their days of fame.

This is one of the earlier Foghat albums (their third, I believe). It has a very hot sound, without getting really heavy. It's very energetic, and has some interesting things going on. They experimented with using female backing singers here, and they mixed in some horns also. I love "Home in My Hand" and, my all time favorite, "That'll Be the Day" (unfortuately, the CD version of this song has a different ending than the album, and I like the album ending better). This is a really jammin' album. Foghat's lead guitarist, Rod Price, is known for his skill in slide guitar. This is probably the only blues-based rock boogie band that plays slide guitar. This is one of my favorite Foghat albums.
