Family Joules

Product Description 'FAMILY JOULES' is a collection of thirteen new, incredible songs from one of the hardest-working, and longest running rock bands in music history. Since 1971 FOGHAT has been giving the fans what they've wanted, great Rock 'n Roll music, and this CD is no exception. It is a real collaboration with all four members of the band bringing song ideas to the project. The boys say they had a great time making this record and those good vibes come across on every track. It was truly an experience watching this 'work' unfold as they each brought ideas and/or nearly completed songs to the table each day and then worked their magic and 'PUT THE HAT ON IT' to give each track it’s finishing touch. For the production of this project Bryan Bassett (Foghat's multi-talented lead-guitarist) put together a mobile digital recording studio (The Blue Brain Mobile Unit) and set up in Studio C at Pyramax Studios in Lake Helen, Florida. The sessions were then transferred to ProTools and mixed by Bryan in The Blue Brain Immobile Unit (Bryan’s home studio) with help from Tony Stevens and Foghat’s 'live sound guy' Carl Davino. Bob Katz at Digital Domain did the mastering. "Family Joules" was produced by "Foghat" and is released on their own BESH records. The reviews from fans and DJ’s thus far have been fantastic. The rhythm section comprised of original members Roger Earl and Tony Stevens is as solid & dynamic as ever in laying down that Foghat groove. Bryan Bassett is just incredible on lead and slide guitar with some of the most exciting guitar around today...and Charlie Huhn ignites the band with his amazing vocals, incredible range, and some truly great guitar playing. 'FAMILY JOULES' we think, will go down as one of the best in Foghat's long history of great recordings!

PAST AND PRESENT In the late 1960’s Roger Earl, Lonesome Dave Peverett and Tony Stevens departed the seminal British band "Savoy Brown" to form a new band "FOGHAT". They also became part of Rock and Roll history. Signed by Albert Grossman to Bearsville Records in 1971, the band recorded their first self-titled LP "Foghat" and began touring relentlessly for the next 14 years. Their hard work has thus far been rewarded with seven Gold records, one Platinum and one Double-Platinum record. The "Fool For The City" album contained Foghat’s trademark Top 40 hit song "Slow Ride" and cemented their place as one of the world’s top rock acts. They continued to hit the charts in the 1970’s with singles many of which are still classic rock radio staples. Foghat toured and recorded non-stop into the mid-eighties with some personnel changes. Tony Stevens left the band in 1974, and was replaced by bassist Craig MacGregor (with a short stint with Nick Jameson). Rod Price departed the band in 1980. The original members reunited in 1994 for the recording of "Return of the Boogie Men" and being back on the road yielded a new live CD for the band titled "Road Cases" recorded in 1997. In 1999 Lonesome Dave, though battling cancer, decides he would like to go back on the road. When Rod Price decides not to participate Dave calls his old friend Bryan Bassett, who is touring with "Molly Hatchet", and asks him to join the band. Lonesome Dave, a consummate professional, performs flawlessly night after night. The tour was cut short in the fall of 1999 when Dave returns home. He sadly passes away on February 7, 2000. One of rock ‘n roll’s legendary performers is mourned by family, friends and thousands of fans. As all who knew and loved Dave tried to adjust to this devastating loss, the band had to decide whether it could, or even wanted to, continue playing. Even Dave’s encouragement to keep the band together and to ‘Keep on Rockin’ was not enough to convince the band that they should go on. After much soul searching and with support from the fans a hesitant search for a new frontman began. Roger happened to recall seeing a "Humble Pie" show with Dave…they wanted to see who was singing their mate Stevie Marriott’s songs. They were both impressed! The singer was former "Ted Nugent" vocalist Charlie Huhn. Roger contacted Charlie and a rehearsal was set up at SIR in New York. The chemistry was undeniable and all agreed that this was the lineup to take the band into the future. "Foghat" is once again doing what they love to do and do best…taking their music to the fans. In 2002 they entered the studio to record a new CD. The result is their newest release "
