Foghat - On Tonsils & Sneakers (Frpm) (Red) [7" Vinyl]

The eagerly awaited follow-up to their chart-topping album Sonic Mojo album is here. After 31 weeks in the Top 10 Billboard Blues Charts, Foghat wrote & recorded a brand-new tribute track, "On Tonsils & Sneakers," dedicated to original lead singer and guitarist Lonesome Dave Peverett, who passed away in 2000. The song's affectionate title is inspired by Peverett's signature stage introduction, "... and On Tonsils and Sneakers, I'm Lonesome Dave," and pays homage to the iconic shiny silver or gold sneakers he wore on stage. The tracks are being released on 7" 45 RPM Translucent Red Vinyl. The B-side is "Black Days & Blue Nights" from Sonic Mojo, also written by Foghat's current lineup: founding drummer Roger Earl, lead singer/guitarist Scott Holt, slide guitarist/engineer/co-producer Bryan Bassett & bassist/vocalist Rodney O'Quinn. The track pays tribute to the bands original slide guitarist, Roc Price, who passed away in 2005. Foghat chose to release the 7" 45 RPM vinyl featuring both songs as a heartfelt tribute to honor their two original members. Founding member Roger Earl continues to keep the music alive, always paying respect to the roots of Foghat and acknowledging the lasting contributions of Dave and Rod to the band's enduring legacy.
