The album was 1975’s Fool for the City, and the title track remains a Foghat classic and an anthem for the open road more than 50 years after it was recorded.
‘Goin' to the city, got you on my mind/Country sure is pretty, I'll leave it all behind,” came the opening lines to the boogie rock classic.
Drummer Roger Earl credited the band’s two guitarists for brainstorming the song.
The Fool for the City album was recorded at Suntreader Studios in small town Vermont, a world away from the London-originated band’s U.S. base in Long Island, New York.
“That happened a few times: The power would go out – somebody would hit a [power] pole,” he shared. “We were out in the middle of nowhere – it was like a small mountain or a large hill, but it was in the middle of nowhere. Deer would run into the car; bears would be in the garbage can.”
Earl elaborated on the cover shoot in an interview with VRP Rocks. “It wasn't a big studio. So, I would go fishing. Vermont, they have some really good trout fishing up there,” he recalled. “So the manhole cover thing was because I love to fish and I'm a fool for the city.”
