Album of the Week: Girls to Chat & Boys to Bounce

Girls to Chat & Boys to Bounce is a studio album by British rock band Foghat, released in 1981. It was the first with new guitarist Erik Cartwright. The name of the band comes from a fake word made up in a Scrabble game.

While the members are all British, Foghat never had a charting song or record in the UK. This could be because most of the touring was in the U.S.

The album peaked at No. 92 on the Billboard 200, making it a slight improvement over the group’s previous record, Tight Shoes. In addition, the album’s single “Live Now, Pay Later” bubbled under the Billboard Hot 100 at No. 102 and also hit No. 15 on the Mainstream Rock chart.
