Music reviews of Last Train Home
Music Review: All aboard the Last Train Home !!!
Rating: 5 Stars
For their 21st release in 38 years Foghat has taken a journey back through time to revisit the roots that helped them to grow into one of the 70's greatest rock and roll bands earning them 8 Gold records, 2 Platinum records and 1 Multi-Platinum record. Ever since their pulse pounding version of Willie Dixon's, "I Just Want To Make Love To You" hit the airwaves in 1972 and introduced the band to the world Foghat in turn has introduced legions of younger listeners to the rich tradition and heritage of the blues. Mixing those elements with a rock and roll approach they forged a unique style that gained them universal fame and millions of fans all over the world. "Last Train Home" is a fabulous trip back to where it all began delivered on a collection of scorching songs that showcase not only just how hard this band works for their fans but for their own legacy as well.
Foghat's records have always been energized with a blues element some more than others but never did they dedicate an entire record to their past influences until now and with this release Roger Earl, the bands engine, conductor and chief coal shoveler has finally brought to fruition a shared dream, conceived many years ago with Lonesome Dave Peverett. Like all great blues records this is first and foremost a guitar showcase and what a firework display of a showcase this is. Bryan "Boiler" Bassett and Choo-Choo Charlie Huhn team up for some of the most blistering trade offs ever heard as the band rumbles down these twelve thunderous tracks. The train theme running throughout this record is inspired and one that gives the listener a palpable feeling of shared joy and loss throughout the various themes of arrivals and departures.
Along with revisiting some classic Foghat covers such as, 'It Hurts Me Too', 'Feel So Bad' and 'Louisiana Blues' the band takes on such blues staples as 'Needle & Spoon', 'Shake Your Money Maker', 'So Many Roads, So Many Trains', 'Rollin & Tumblin/You Need Love' and if that wasn't enough swamp water authenticity for the blues purists out there the 'we're not worthy" moment appears with the albums closing songs. Eighty Six year old blues legend Eddie "Bluesman" Kirkland performs two of his classics 'In My Dreams' and 'Good Good Day' with Foghat participating as the happy and willing house band recreating a special moment in 1977 when Kirkland and Foghat first met and performed together for a blues benefit held at the Palladium in New York City. Along for the ride on these glorious songs as well as on three new numbers 'Born For The Road', '495 Boogie' and 'Last Train Home' are Roger's brother the amazing Colin Earl on keyboards, Lefty "Sugar Lips" Lefkowitz on inspired harmonica duties and subbing in for bassist Craig MacGregor who was unable to jump this train ride due to a prior commitment is longtime friend and band mate Jeff Howell with some piston-pumping bass and vocals.
'Last Train Home' is a very special record that's steeped in rich tradition and just like any lonesome railroad doesn't really come along very often. So climb aboard, kick up your heels and enjoy this wonderful ride.
