Double Vision by Foreigner
Double Vision is an album by Foreigner, released in 1978. 3 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 183 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Hot Blooded”, on 78 lists with a best position of #15.
Double Vision, Foreigner's second album, rolled out on Atlantic on June 20, 1978, cut between March and May of that year with Mick Jones producing alongside Keith Olsen, on the only Foreigner record Olsen co-produced. It was also bassist Ed Gagliardi's last before Rick Wills stepped in, with Lou Gramm singing, Dennis Elliott on drums, Al Greenwood on keys and ex-King Crimson man Ian McDonald in the ranks.
This is arena rock built for the back rows. "Hot Blooded" struts on a greasy riff and Gramm's leer, and the title track pounds like a headache you'd gladly keep. Jones grabs the mike himself on "Back Where You Belong" and "I Have Waited So Long", and "Tramontane" remains the only instrumental Foreigner have put on a studio album. A lasting in-joke began here too: A&R man John Kalodner got his name printed twice in the credits, a nod to the title.
