Zig-Zag Walk

1983 studio album by Foghat

Zig-Zag Walk is the twelfth studio album by British hard rock band Foghat, released in 1983.[1] Unlike the previous year's In the Mood for Something Rude, which consisted of all outside material, lead singer Dave Peverett wrote five of the album's ten songs, with guitarist Erik Cartwright contributing a sixth. A few of the songs are given a rockabilly treatment augmenting the blues rock the band is better known for. It would be the band's last album for over a decade until their comeback album, Return of the Boogie Men, in 1994.
