The Alchemist
As you can imagine, “The Last Great Scotsman II” is a follow up track to “The Last Great Scotsman,” which first appeared on the band’s 2016 self-titled debut album, Fellowcraft. The latest single from the band, and the last single with a publicly anticipated release date, “The Last Great Scotsman II” is the best kind of sequel – the kind that that tells a new story or a offers a new perspective of a theme in an authentic way while keeping the intentions and best qualities of the original. In this latest rendition, Fellowcraft begins with a familiar rhythm revisits the lyrics from the original, but that’s where the similarities end. You’re really hearing a brand new song with a completely different approach and dynamic to the storytelling. Check it out for yourself below:

By this point in his life, Foghat founding drummer Roger Earl has visited quite a few doctors. But what may be surprising is that the percussionist, 77, is quick to point out that many of the medical professionals who have worked on him also enjoy rocking out.
“Nearly all the doctors and surgeons I know, they all play something: trumpet, sax, violin, guitar,” Earl said recently. “There’s not too many drummers that are surgeons, there’s probably a good reason for that!”
Earl half-jokingly invites his surgeon-rockers to join him and the other members of Foghat onstage at the Fillmore in Silver Spring March 9, where they will be headlining the Rock and Roll for Children Foundation benefit for the Children’s Inn at NIH. Earl, the only original member of Foghat still in the band, will be banging the skins behind guitarist Bryan Bassett and other members Scott Holt and Rodney O’Quinn. “Slow Ride,” the band’s 1975 megahit, is all but assured to be on the setlist, along with tunes from Foghat’s most recent record, “Sonic Mojo.”
