@cementhedpaul2008 They're too busy nominating bands that got started in 1996. The whole thing is politics. If a band pleases the people and not the stuffy critics, they get 8 Balled. The RnR HoF is controlled by frat boys with the Neidermeyer mentality.
@ksr9t Thanks my friend. I guess I'm too old now, and have too many things to do each day, but damn I still love this. Even my dogs get crazy when I play it.
No doubt, mgwilliams! When I first heard this song I thought it was the best song on the album. I love the slide work. It is a real rocker!! I think I wore this album out 4 or 5 times between 1975 and 1979 when I finally got a cassette deck. Great stuff!
I saw Foghat, Styx and Mother's Finest at the Greenville Memorial Auditorium shortly before Lynyrd Skynyrd played their last concert there before the plane crash. We used to cruise downtown Greenville's mainstreet with the 8-tracks and the co-axials jacked up. If the cops pulled you over, they'd just make you pour out any open containers and let you ride if you weren't too out of line. Those days are gone. Cry Discordia.
@badman400 I've poured a few out on the ground up here in Winston-Salem North Carolina back in the late 70's !!! Those were the days and this song was part of the soundtrack of my coming of age years.These kids today have no idea how cool those times were.
I actually had this album in college. Used to rock it out. Love old Robert Johnson tunes. Did you know every single RJ recorded has been redone? What a master
@thesphinx290: Wow, sorry to hear that. In most places, cops have their hands full of police work. Something like that would probably just get people breaking out their cameras for a laugh. Peace.
Back in the 70s, I was fortunate enough to live near the band when they moved to the U.S. They hung out a lot in a particular club (usually Roger Earl & Scott McGregor)and occasionally got on stage and jammed. It was very cool and they kicked serious ass. You could hear Roger Earl a block away - he's also hilarious.
Man, im diggin the song and cover. Its awsome when i find new songs that are just straight groovin to me, and i like the cover too. Im pretty sure thats a GTO 3 cars back.
Rockinest song on the whole album! This wasn't even on radio back when I was in high school but we played it in our cars and our crappy stereos back then (had to get the vinyl and 8-track at the record store that no longer exists). Our parents thought we were insane for listening to this!
@mgwilliams1000 I still have all these albums and managed to keep them in good condition, I love gettin' them out and crankin' up the stereo with old Buddies a case of beer and a big fatty LOL Just like the old Humble Pie album says "Smokin'"
Foghat's first two albums alone are the pinnacle of blues rock. They aren't overly refined or drenched in unpalatable amounts of effects, but there's a raw power to them and when you hear Foghat, it isn't difficult to realize that every member of the band was an exceptional musician. Thanks for posting this.
Went to see Foghat this past year, Met the drummer, Great dude , !!

This song proves that at least some Cajuns come from the UK. Talk about Southern swamp boogie and delta slide guitar.
