The King Biscuit live Foghat installment is taken from two different phases of the band (1974 and ’76),
and appropriately, these concert tapes include performances of the Lonesome Dave tunes "Fool For The City”
and "Slow Ride,” as well as Foghat’s rowdy cover of "My Babe,” an early Sixties repertoire staple of The
Righteous Brothers, who originated it. 

If "My Babe” sounded charged-up, then the band’s update of the 1950s R&B favorite "Honey Hush” was really
over the top. First done in 1953 by the great Big Joe Turner, one of the original architects of rock ‘n’ roll,
Foghat were evidently more intensely influenced by Johnny Burnette’s rockabilly version from 1956, since
Lonesome Dave mentions the Burnette recording before they tear into it here. It was numbers such as this that
defined the Foghat concert experience in their heyday. 

Add to that the band’s homage to Chicago blues men Willie Dixon and Muddy Waters ("I Just Want To Make Love To
You”) and this King Biscuit presentation takes us back to a less complicated era, to the days when good-time
music ruled.
