On May 11, 1983, Foghat released their twelfth studio album Zig Zag Walk. Known for their gritty blues rock style in the 70s, the band experimented with a more polished and synth influenced sound on this release to keep pace with the evolving trends of the 80s.
Zig Zag Walk reached number 192 on the US Billboard charts and featured tracks like Choo Choo Ch'Boogie and That's What Love Can Do. While it didn’t match the commercial success of their earlier albums, it marked the end of an era for the band’s original lineup before lineup changes in the years that followed.
Fun fact: This was the final Foghat studio album to feature original guitarist and founding member Rod Price before his return over a decade later.
