themusicsover Rod Price
November 22, 1947 – March 22, 2005
Rod Price was one of rock music’s greatest slide guitarists. Best known as for his work as lead guitarist for Foghat, Price’s electrifying assault helped propel the band to the top of the pack in America during the 1970s. After leaving the band in 1980, Price pretty much vanished from the music scene until he re-joined the group in the mid-90s. They were never able to recapture the glory, so they again parted ways in 1999 when Foghat’s singer, Dave Peverett was diagnosed with cancer. In the early 2000s, Price was making a solid living as a solo artist and teaching guitar. Tragically, he died after falling down his stairs while having a heart attack.
