They released an album every year for until “Return of the Boogie Men”, which was their thirteenth studio album. “Energized” was their third studio album, released in January 1974, and was certified as an RIAA Gold Record in the United States. Their sophomore self-titled album was released in March 1973 and known by fans as Rock and Roll because of its cover depicting a rock and bread roll. Their 1972 album “Foghat” was produced by Dave Edmunds and had a cover of Willie Dixon’s “I Just Want to Make Love to You” which earned itself a lot of airplay especially on the FM stations. The new line up was named “Foghat”, which was a nonsense word from a childhood game played by Peverett and his brother. Their success was mainly in the US, which is where the band relocated. Rod Price on guitar/slide guitar joined after parting ways with the Black Cat Bones in December 1970.
The band formed with Dave Peverett on guitar and vocals, Tony Stevens on bass, and Roger Earl on drums.
