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!
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?
