Blog #447-Foghat 1973 Album Cover!

Published in Blog

I've been a music and rock'n'roll photographer since I was 16 years old (1970) for several newspapers, bands, record companies, Summerfest and more. I wanted to work for Rolling Stone Magazine as a music photographer but it was never meant to be apparently.

An album cover was another item that I ALWAYS wanted but never achieved until this week! I have done photos inside of albums, books and several publications but have never gotten the elusive album cover until now.

On June 3, 1973 at Milwaukee's Performing Arts Center, Foghat played with the Thomas Jefferson Kaye band as the opening act. I photographed the show for the Bugle American newspaper here in Milwaukee.

Bearsville Records Inc. along with Rhino Entertainment Company, a Warner Music Group Company, contacted me a few months ago for usage of my photos for a Record Store Day Foghat album release on April 20th.

Thanks to using metadata in all of my photos on my website, they found me.

The album called Foghat-Permission to Jam-Live in New Orleans is from a show they recorded on September 1 and 2, 1973. This is my first ever album cover and they used three other photos on the back cover. It is a huge honor and only took me 54 years of photography to get'er done.

The album cover is a nice full photo of the band in black and white and the three photos of mine on the back cover were color but they made them black and white.

Lonesome Dave Peverett was the vocalist, leader of the band and a character. Dave was a lot of fun and had the energy to ROCK!

So enjoy a peak at the only copy that is in our house here but you can pick one up soon at your record store.

Thanks,

Rich Zimmermann

Blog #154-Foghat 1973

Published in Blog

In June of 1973, I photographed Foghat at Milwaukee's Performing Arts Center. Being a lover of Savoy Brown, I had to see these guys who left Savoy Brown and formed their own band, Foghat.

They had a little bit harder of a rock sound than Savoy Brown. "Lonesome Dave", otherwise known as Dave Peverett, was an awesome leader of the band.

Roger Earl, is still the drummer and continues touring with a new lineup of players. Foghat, has toured the world since 1970 and they continue to this day to keep rockin'!

Have a great week and take a look at the band in 1973.

Thanks,
