    Foghat Guitarist Dies

    Stephanie Cole - Clear Channel Online Music & Radio

    Legendary Foghat guitarist Rod Price passed away Tuesday at the age of 57 in Wilton, New Hampshire.

    Blabbermouth.net reports the founding member of the blues boogie band died from injuries sustained from an accidental fall.

    Price gained notoriety for his signature slide and blues based playing earning him the reputation as "the magician of slide."

    His great talent drove Foghat to three platinum and eight gold records during their long career.

    The guitarist also worked with Champion Jack Dupree, Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker and many other greats. He also released two solo albums.

    Rod Price is survived by his wife Jackie and five children.

    An open memorial service will be held at Nelson Funeral Home in Wilton, NH on Saturday.

                          I saw them, all original members a few years back in Danbury CT. Rod Price was a a madman on slide. Great show and the singing was on the money as well.
                          I loved the Fool for the City album .Not exactly a band to NOT turn up.
