It starts out with a drum beat that is so abrupt, you feel as though your head might explode, and then one of the most recognizable guitar riffs in classic rock history, not to mention the singalong chorus that everybody knows by heart. I’m talking about the classic rock standard Slow Ride by Foghat. Speaking of that famous guitar riff…it changes speed and climaxes near the end, apparently, the band did this on purpose to mimic the act of S-E-X… they don’t call it Sex Drugs and Rock and Roll for nothing! The song came from a basement jam session where the power went off and they nearly lost the recording. But they pulled it off… they were used to off-the-wall happenings since they got their band name Foghat from a game of Scrabble. Up next, the story behind this all-time classic from one of the only remaining members of the band, drummer Roger Earl. It’s the tale of a 70s rock classic!

It’s time for another edition of our series Revelations where featured artists take us for a deep dive into their greatest songs and albums. Insight you won’t find anywhere else. This 70s classic starts with a drum beat that ruptures your skull, a guitar riff that has become part of our collective psyche, and a chorus that we all sing when it comes on classic Rock Radio… It grinds us up for 8 minutes, overflowing with Sex no Drugs all rock n roll. I’m talking about Slow Ride by Foghat. The British band had relocated to the US East Coast and their long-time bassist Tony Stevens was burnt out and ended up quitting the band… Up to that point they’d had success with a gold album, but not that one song that would put them on the map… That’s where our story begins… Founding member and Drummer Roger Earl tells us the story of how Slow Ride came to the band along with current guitarist Brian Bassett who was the original guitarist of Wild Cherry and has also been in Molley Hatchet and Foghat… as we go into this interview I do want to thank our sponsor Zenni eyewear the glasses that I wear all the time.
