Album of the Day

Foghat titled their third album ENERGIZED, and that’s an apt description of the 1974 Bearsville collection. The quartet’s fusion of blues influences and hard rock really gels on these eight tracks, which mix fine band originals including “Wild Cherry” and soon-to-be concert staple “”Home in my Hand” with assured covers of such chestnuts as “Honey Hush.” With able support from the rhythm section of Tony Stevens and Roger Earl, the dual-axe attack of Lonesome Dave Peverett and Rod Price never falters on this Gold-certified, Top 40 hit. ENERGIZED now sounds better than ever in immersive blu-ray audio as part of Rhino’s Quadio series.
