I have returned to post because nobody was allowed to come out and play (updated)

Foghat

If there ever was a song that defined boogie rock it's Stone Blue.  This is Foghat at their best.  A great riff, a great chorus, and some brilliant playing, hell even the bridge is catchy.  Unfortunately as the rest of the album unfolds the following songs diminish compared to the title track.  It starts off great with the first few songs, and then gone is the boogie and it’s replaced by just average guitar rock.  Foghat is the perfect example of the greatest hits band because when they were on there was no one better at boogie rock then them.  Unfortunately it’s was one or 2 songs per album like this one.  3.0 But they are getting .5 for the hat.

The Briefs

Am I correct in that Jay submitted a cd that wasn’t the first release of a band discography?  And it’s funny because it’s really good.  I thought that was not possible.  At first I thought it was going to be just another blitz of 70’s type punk that’s been heard and done before.  But surprise these guys know how to put pop into their punk, leaving many a song stuck in the brain long after listening.  This type of music seems to be missing nowadays and it’s a shame.  Short catch guitar driven songs should never fade away. 3.0

The Men.

He whines, the sound gets muddled, and there are whole bunch faults to be found in this cd.  (Including my recording process.  Thanks Rhapsody) But the album is great.  Guitar noise, simple acoustic, all out rockers, and simple harmonies they are all here and they all work.  Just happened to stumble on to the first song, realized the rest was different and better for it.  Not a week track to be found and love the noise these guys can make with their instruments. 3.5

Cowboy Junkies.

Never cared for their cover of Sweet Jane, thought it missed the point of the song, so not too thrilled with so many more songs of that ilk.  I was surprised that I liked most of the songs here, but only in short doses.  Her voice does tend to put a snooze to things when listening to more than three at a time.
