Sonic Highways by Foo Fighters
Sonic Highways is an album by Foo Fighters, released in 2014. 4 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 35 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Something From Nothing”, on 17 lists with a best position of #4.
Sonic Highways, Foo Fighters' eighth studio album, came out on November 10, 2014, through Roswell and RCA, and it's as much a road trip as a record. Dave Grohl took the band and producer Butch Vig, back after Wasting Light, to eight American cities, sat down with the musicians, engineers and producers behind each town's sound, and wrote a song per stop, cutting each one in a local studio with guests who had roots there. Grohl directed the whole trek as an HBO series.
Grohl, Taylor Hawkins on drums, Nate Mendel on bass and guitarists Chris Shiflett and Pat Smear go big on every one of the eight. "Something From Nothing" builds from a low simmer to a full boil, "Congregation" and "The Feast And The Famine" hit like arena-sized fists, and "Outside" stretches into a long, heady jam.
