Roger Earl Foghat Legendary Drummer Talks 'Sonic Mojo'

Hello everyone and welcome to the 426th episode of Interviewing the Legends I’m your host Ray Shasho.Sonic Mojo is Foghat’s highly anticipated and long-awaited 17th studio album—their first in seven years--on the band’s label, Foghat Records, which is distributed by Select-O-Hits (part of the Sun Records family). On Sonic Mojo founding member, drummer and leader of the pack Roger Earl is joined by stalwart guitarist, engineer, and co-producer Bryan Bassett (formerly with Wild Cherry and Molly Hatchet), fun-loving bassist Rodney O’Quinn (longtime member of the Pat Travers Band), and on lead vocals and guitar, Scott Holt (who toured and recorded with the legendary Buddy Guy for 10+ years).The new album absolutely cements Foghat’s title as the undisputed Kings of Boogie Rock as it showcases the band’s trademark crunchy riffs, soaring slide guitar leads, infectious melodies, bluesy influences, and their take-no-prisoners approach to their loud, heavy, blues-rock that fans everywhere can’t get enough of.Three songs on Sonic Mojo have special meaning for Roger Earl, as they were co-written by Simmonds, the man who gave Roger his first break back in 1967 as a member of Savoy Brown. Sadly, shortly after writing these songs, Kim passed away in December 2022.Foghat continue to release new music every few years, and are in constant motion on the road, maintaining a rigorous touring schedule that has been a staple of the band since its formation.PLEASE WELCOME LEGENDARY DRUMMER AND SONGWRITER FOR CLASSIC ROCK LEGENDS FOGHAT …ROGER EARL TO INTERVIEWING THE LEGENDS…PURCHASETHE BRAND-NEW RELEASEBYF O G H A TEntitledSONIC MOJOAvailable athttps://foghat.lnk.to/SonicMojoPRand amazon.com “SONIC MOJO IS AN INTRIGUING ECLECTIC MIX OF COUNTRY ROCK AND BLUES WITH ELEMENTS OF TRADITIONAL FOGHAT SLIDE GUITAR.
