...............................................................................
The pubs and clubs of London in the late sixties
produced a handful of legendary guitar players.
While Eric Clapton, Peter Green and John Mayall
each forged their own style, Rod Price made his
mark with his unique blend of slide and blues
based playing. Price was quickly plucked from
the scene by ex-Savoy Brown alumni as a founding
member of Foghat. Three platinum and eight gold
albums later Foghat, propelled by Rods slide guitar
work, left its mark on music history.
Like his musical peers, Duane Allman, Ry Cooder,
and Lowell George, his roots are found in the
playing of Bill Broonzy, Elmore James, Robert
Johnson and Muddy Waters. In the book "Legends
of Rock Guitar", Price is credited with playing
"the finest and most aggressive slide playing
heard on either side of the Atlantic".
In addition to his playing with Foghat, Price
has worked with Champion Jack Dupree, Duster Bennett
, Eddie Kirkland, Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker,
Willie Dixon, and Honey Boy Edwards.
