Stone Blue
1978 studio album by Foghat
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Stone Blue is the seventh studio album by the English rock band Foghat.[4] It was released in May 1978 on Bearsville Records. Stone Blue paired Foghat with producer Eddie Kramer, who had previously engineered recordings for Jimi Hendrix and Led Zeppelin. Kramer and Foghat did not collaborate smoothly, but the tension in the studio may have helped to give the album an added edge.[citation needed] The album contains a ferocious cover of Robert Johnson's "Sweet Home Chicago".[5]
