5.0 out of 5 stars Foghat's absolute best!, December 12, 1999

By	"hanson01" (Olympia, WA USA) - See all my reviews

This album is easily 5 stars, the very best that Foghat ever made. There's great variety here, too. This was their most creative piece of work. The best song is Chateau LaFitte '59 Boogie. It still is, and always has been my favorite Foghat tune. If you like Foghat and don't have this in your collection, you're really missing out. This is a "must have" ..... no disappointments, guaranteed!

5.0 out of 5 stars Proud To Be A Foghat Fan, April 10, 2001

By	Clark Paull "(Sleepin' with the TV on)" (Murder City) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

It seems that at some point in time, being a Foghat fan almost carried some sort of stigma with it. The band always seemed to be a whipping boy of the critics, but they just put their heads down and kept releasing consistently entertaining albums. This one has to be their zenith, although the follow-up, 1975's "Fool For The City," got all the attention. The title cut, "Blue Spruce Woman," and the balls-to-the-wall slide rave-up "Chateau Lafitte '59 Boogie," make this a must-have for any fan of the band or blues-based British rock in general. I wonder why so many people have never heard of it?

4.0 out of 5 stars One of their best!, October 7, 1999

By A Customer

This album is just a notch below Stone Blue as the best Foghat album. The title track is good along with "Blue Spruce Woman", "Hate To See You Go", "Dreamer" and "Eight Days On The Road". But, like one of the other reviewers, the best track by far is "Chateau Lafitte 59 Boogie." This track kicks and also has some outstanding guitar. Skip their most popular albums and pick this one and Stone Blue up first. You'll be glad you did.
