MP3 Foghat - Family Joules
13 MP3 Songs
ROCK: Classic Rock, ROCK: Roots Rock
Details:
''FAMILY JOULES'' is a collection of thirteen new, incredible songs from one of the hardest-working, and longest running rock bands in music history. Since 1971 FOGHAT has been giving the fans what they''ve wanted, great Rock ''n Roll music, and this CD is no exception. It is a real collaboration with all four members of the band bringing song ideas to the project. The boys say they had a great time making this record and those good vibes come across on every track. It was truly an experience watching this ''work'' unfold as they each brought ideas and/or nearly completed songs to the table each day and then worked their magic and ''PUT THE HAT ON IT'' to give each track it''s finishing touch.
For the production of this project Bryan Bassett (Foghat''s multi-talented lead-guitarist) put together a mobile digital recording studio (The Blue Brain Mobile Unit) and set up in Studio C at Pyramax Studios in Lake Helen, Florida. The sessions were then transferred to ProTools and mixed by Bryan in The Blue Brain Immobile Unit (Bryan''s home studio) with help from Tony Stevens and Foghat''s ''live sound guy'' Carl Davino. Bob Katz at Digital Domain did the mastering. "Family Joules" was produced by "Foghat" and is released on their own BESH records.
The reviews from fans and DJ''s thus far have been fantastic. The rhythm section comprised of original members Roger Earl and Tony Stevens is as solid & dynamic as ever in laying down that Foghat groove. Bryan Bassett is just incredible on lead and slide guitar with some of the most exciting guitar around today...and Charlie Huhn ignites the band with his amazing vocals, incredible range, and some truly great guitar playing.
''FAMILY JOULES'' we think, will go down as one of the best in Foghat''s long history of great recordings!

Family Joules
Foghat
(BESH 6470)
Foghat is one of rock¹s truly timeless bands. After all these years, and the passing of band leader Lonesome Dave Peverett, the group continues to rock the nation to its core with a line up that includes original members
Roger Earl and Tony Stevens, along with Bryan Bassett (Molly Hatchet / Wild Cherry) and the very excellent
lead singer and guitarist Charlie Huhn.
The radio-friendly album kicks off with the Huhn-penned ''Mumbo Jumbo'', whichsets the stage for some mighty fine rock-n-roll. While ''Joules'' is most definitely well-produced with excellent musicianship, it would be nothing
without some good songs, and the band rises to the challenge. They deliver 13 new songs of great depth and variety. ''Flat Busted'' is perfect for radio, and ''I¹m a Rock-N-Roller'' finds Huhn sounding more than a little like BonScott.
The soul and spirit of the seventies is here, but by no means is this a nostalgia trip. It¹s a powerful, electric, monster, blues-rock record of great merit. With ''Family Joules'', the new line up of the band has proven itself a worthy successor to the band¹s long, rich history. This one ranks right alongside Foghat¹s best albums ever.
