Fool For The City  by Foghat

The Faghot reach the pinnacle of their career with their fifth studio album, at least from a commercial impact standpoint, as Fool For The City is the only album by the band that went platinum in the U.S. The record was released in September 1975.

Nick Jameson was the producer of the album, but he also played bass - as Tony Stevens had departed and no replacement had been found - and keyboards, while co-writing the song Take It Or Leave It with Dave Peverett, which closes the album.

The blues rock and hard rock are in perfect balance amongst themselves in all the songs of Fool For The City. This album contains two of the group's biggest hits, the self-titled track and the eight-minute-long Slow Ride. The album is also memorable for its surreal cover. It features a photo of drummer Roger Earl in the middle of a street in New York, where Earl sits on a crate and fishes with a rod into a manhole (!)
