Another sad news headline…Foghat was one of my favorite bands back in the 70’s, still love to listen to their music. Slow Ride was one of my favorite songs, Fool for the City was one of my favorite album covers, ever.
Guitarist Rod Price of Foghat Dies at 57
Guitarist Rod Price, founding member of the blues boogie band Foghat, died Tuesday after falling down a stairway at his home, a family friend said. He was 57.
The London native’s solos drove Foghat to three platinum and eight gold records during the band’s quarter-century career. After many years of touring he settled in Wilton in 1994.
Many in town knew Price as a loving father who never missed his son’s baseball, soccer or basketball games. Fewer people knew of Price’s musical background.
Price had played with Champion Jack Dupree, Eddie Kirkland, Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, Willie Dixon and Honey Boy Edwards.
In recent years, Price concentrated on his blues projects, cutting several CDs and giving private guitar lessons at his home.
