![When I spoke to Foghat drummer Roger Earl, he told me the band’s biggest hit, “Slow Ride” almost wasn't a single at all! Recorded for 1975’s Fool for the City album, the full version ran for more than eight minutes. It would eventually reach No.20 on the Billboard Hot 100 and become Foghat’s signature song but according to Roger, their record company initially told them it simply couldn’t be released as a single. The song itself had started out life as a jam. Roger and guitarist Rod Price had a house on Long Island with a soundproofed basement, and new bassist Nick Jameson had just joined the band. Like a lot of Foghat songs, “Slow Ride” grew out of the band simply jamming together. Roger says the basic riff came from John Lee Hooker, but instead of playing it as a shuffle, they straightened it into a 4/4 groove. From there the whole arrangement began to take shape, including the famous drum and bass breakdown, before singer Dave Peverett announced that he had some words that might fit. Later, Roger and Nick took the finished album to Bearsville Records and played it to label boss Paul Fishkin. His reaction? “Well, that can’t be a single. It’s nearly eight minutes long.” Foghat disagreed. “We said, ‘Yes, [it can]. We can do whatever we want.’” So the long version went out initially... until radio stations started making their own edits. At that point, the band decided it made more sense to control the edit themselves, and Nick Jameson cut it down to around four minutes. The shorter version worked. “Slow Ride” became Foghat’s biggest charting US single and, half a century later, remains the song most people immediately associate with the band. Not bad for something that started as a basement jam and was initially deemed too long to be a single!](/video/cover/7702069561075502367.webp)
