Foghat Preview Live & Loud Across The U.S.A. With 'It Hurts Me Too' Video
(MBM) Foghat lead singer/guitarist Scott Holt takes center stage on the band's soul-stirring take on the Elmore James blues classic, "It Hurts Me Too," the second single released today from the upcoming triple-vinyl Live & Loud Across The U.S.A. It arrives ahead of the album's October 30 release.
Recorded live in 2024, "It Hurts Me Too" finds Foghat returning to the deep blues foundation upon which the band was built from their days with Savoy Brown. Written by Hudson Whittaker, it was first recorded by Tampa Red in 1940 and later immortalized by the great Elmore James.
The song has traveled through generations of blues musicians, and in FOGHAT's hands it becomes something immediate, raw, and deeply personal. Scott doesn't simply sing the blues, he reaches inside the song and makes every word, note and silence count.
"This is the kind of song Scott was born to sing," says FOGHAT founding drummer Roger Earl. "He doesn't just play the blues; he understands where it comes from and what it supposed to feel like. Every night we play this song he takes us somewhere different. I'm sitting behind him listening, and I still get chills."
LIVE & LOUD ACROSS THE U.S.A., Foghat's first-ever live album featuring their current lineup. The triple 180 gram color vinyl, features never-before-released live tracks PLUS the vinyl debut of SHAKEN & STIRRED by Earl & The Agitators (aka Foghat) can be pre-ordered here
