Fool for the City is the fifth studio album by English rock band Foghat, released on September 15, 1975. Fool for the City was the band's first album to go platinum and features, along with the title track, the band's signature song "Slow Ride".

Although featured in the photograph on the back cover of the album, Jameson is not known to have toured with Foghat in support of the album.

Foghat was a still a major headlining act when Cartwright joined, but changes in music during the 1980s led to the band's loss of popularity and it wasn't long until they were performing in nightclubs and theaters.
