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.

Contents

Producer "Franz Leipkin" and keyboardist "Eli Jenkins" are pseudonyms for old bandmate Nick Jameson, who had played in Foghat in 1975 and produced or co-produced various Foghat albums in the 1970s and 1980s. [2] Paul Butterfield makes a guest appearance on one song, [3] playing harmonica on "Seven Day Weekend".
