Foghat’s original drummer spills details about 2023 tour and new album

Foghat isn’t tired of their mega-hit single “Slow Ride.”The ubiquitous classic rock staple, that showed up in the 1993 film “Dazed and Confused,” countless commercials and the video game Guitar Hero, still gets the band excited when they play live.“I enjoy it,” original Foghat member, drummer and Long Island resident Roger Earl told the New York Post. “It’s a nine-minute song these days.”After he shared his appreciation for the track, Earl turned the tables and lobbed a question our way.“Do you know what ‘Slow Ride’ is about?” the 77-year-old rock vet asked.Before given a chance to answer, he laughed.“‘Slow Ride’ is about sex!” Earl roared. “In fact, most of our songs are about it, ‘I’ve just done it, I’m thinking about doing it again, would you like some of me, darling.’ Rock and roll, right?'”Just like that, we were off to the races.Foghat, who first captured the world’s attention with iconic ’70s bops “I Just Want To Make Love To You” and “Fool For The City,” is about to drop their bluesy 17th album “Sonic Mojo” this November and tour all over North America in support of the upcoming record.That includes a huge gig at New York City’s Iridium Jazz Club that doubles as an album release party on Sunday, Nov.
