Foghat: Girls To Chat And Boys To Bounce / In The Mood For Something Rude / Zig Zag Walk auf 2 CDs

Product Information

This sixth and last Edsel Foghat package features their last three Bearsville albums as well as eleven bonus rarities, some previously unreleased.

“Girls To Chat & Boys To Bounce” (1981) features new lead guitarist Erik Cartwright, but also found Nick Jameson back in the producer’s chair, and saw them recapture their old magic.

Jameson rejoined the band on bass for the themed album “In The Mood For Something Rude” (1982). Continuing the theme started by the band’s earlier covers of Al Green’s “Take Me To The River” and 100 Proof’s “Somebody’s Been Sleeping In My Bed”, Foghat deliver their versions of songs made famous by Ann Peebles, Syl Johnson, Marvin Gaye, James Brown, Delbert McClinton and Rodney Crowell.

“Zig Zag Walk” (1983) was again produced by Jameson and alongside some more Lonesome Dave originals, features a cover of Louis Jordan’s “Choo Choo Ch’Boogie” and country classic “It’ll Be Me”.

The bonus tracks include the band’s two very rare Christmas singles, three single edits, alternate mixes of “What A Shame” and “Ride Ride Ride”, and two previously unissued songs.

The package contains the lyrics and brand new extensive notes by Bearsville Records expert Paul Myers (author of “A Wizard, A True Star: Todd Rundgren In The Studio”), who has interviewed Roger Earl and Nick Jameson specially for these re-issues. (demonmusicgroup. co. uk)
