I always enjoyed Foghat, and Price's slide-work was a nice contrast to Duane and Eric. He may have influenced a lot of aspiring guitar players of the day.

WILTON, New Hampshire - Guitarist Rod Price, founding member of the blues boogie band Foghat, died Tuesday after falling down a stairway at his home, a family friend said. He was 57.

The London native's solos drove Foghat to three platinum and eight gold records during the band's quarter-century career. After many years of touring he settled in Wilton in 1994.

Many in town knew Price as a loving father who never missed his son's baseball, soccer or basketball games. Fewer people knew of Price's musical background.

Price had played with Champion Jack Dupree, Eddie Kirkland, Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, Willie Dixon and Honey Boy Edwards.

In recent years, Price concentrated on his blues projects, cutting several CDs and giving private guitar lessons at his home.

Tis a sad, sad day.

I just heard on the radio the other day, that Foghat was doing a concert here, and was gonna check out getting tickets. Thought it'd be worth it to relive my youth.

I know every dang word on Fool for the City, and thought hearing Slow Ride in the flesh might shave a few years off. :D-->

Ahhh, memories. Tis a shame. I spose now they'll cancel the concert.

Foghat was one of the bands that introduced me to the blues

Rest in peace Rod

I know Rod was involved with TWI in the early 80's. Does anyone know the whole story about his involvement ?
