5.0 out of 5 stars Froghat never better, May 29, 2004

Call 'em Froghat, Foghart, Hogfart, whatever twist on their odd name you want, this was the premier boogie band of the '70s without a doubt, and before they nose-dived in the '80s they had one last gasp of greatness with "Stone Blue." This collection is their classic format: Superb original rock'n'roll like the title cut, "Easy Money," and especially "Midnight Madness" (my fave but sadly underappreciated by the mass audience) paired with their inimitable versions of timeless blues tracks like Robert Johnson's (the father of the blues) "Sweet Home Chicago," Elmore James's "It Hurts Me Too," and Earl McDaniel's "Chevrolet."

The other two cuts are throwaways, but the six listed above are so solid and so well worth repeated plays that I can't rate this less than five stars. It ranks with "Fool For the City" and "Energized" as their best ever.

Another fine album by Foghat. If you like rock, boogie, and blues Foghat probably has something you will enjoy. Always music with a great beat and fun to listen to, this is one of their best, next to FOOL FOR THE CITY, ROCK & ROLL OUTLAWS, and DRIVIN' WHEEL.

Every song here is worth listening to, but the above average songs are "Chevrolet", "Sweet Home Chicago", and "Midnight Madness". Wait, though, there's more! Great songs include "Easy Money", "Stone Blue", and my favorite "It Hurts Me Too". Foghat always manages to bring an appealing sound to every release. Even though much of their music is blues based, they always seem to sound uptempo. Maybe it's just to make us think it's all okay.

If you are new to Foghat you may want to give their Greatest Hits a try, so, you can better decide if you would like to pursue their individual releases. Foghat will help you remember when music felt good and was fun. Excellent musicians, production, and tunes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Foghat-Stone Blue a true must own classic, October 5, 2004

If you like guitar,blues and great rock'n'roll mixed together than welcome to some perfection Lonesome Dave's way. Rod Price on lead/slide is off the charts, Dave's vocals are right on and the bass section superb. Seven great cuts and one average, best rocked up renditions of It Hurt's Me Too, Chevrolet and Sweet Home Chicago you'll ever hear make this album a Blues/Rock must own. Now add Stone Blue, Midnight Madness, Easy Money and High On Love for some harder edge and you have a GREAT album. This album is in my top 25 list. Hear it, buy it. For other Foghat material worth owning check out the new DVD, Fool For The City, Live II and the latest with Charlie Huhn on vocals Family Joules.
