Roger Earl is a founding member and drummer of Foghat – an English rock band most famous for songs like Slow Ride, Drivin' Wheel and I Just Wanna Make Love to You. The band has achieved eight gold albums, one platinum and one double platinum album, and they’re still going strong.

Roger is a life-loving, fun-loving guy and we covered LOTS in our talk:

  • How he got started in music.
  • How he got into Savoy Brown and why he got out.
  • Two explanations of how Foghat got its name.
  • Foghat's audition for legendary artist manager Albert Grossman that led to a record deal with his new label.
  • How Foghat fought to make Slow Ride a single, even though it was 8 minutes long.
  • How his longtime friend,  band mate and lead singer Dave Peverett left the band, which resulted in two versions of Foghat touring.
  • Why Dave returned to the band before ultimately succumbing to illness.
  • How Foghat found a new lead singer -- Charlie Huhn -- from Humble Pie and the assembly line at Ford.
  • and... MUCH MORE!!!
