Actually, Foghat was formed just before Savoy Brown's Street Corner Talking
album. (The one before Hellbound Train.) Dave Walker was the vocalist on
SCT and HT. I agree that HT is a great album though. And I think Savoy
Brown is an extremely underrated band in general. But maybe I just want to
think that because Kim Simmonds lives 10min from my hometown. ;-)
