Hoggin’ The Page : Groundhogs – The Classic Years
The Groundhogs - Book - by Martyn Hanson
(2024)
The story of the Groundhogs spans the most exciting years British rock
will ever enjoy. Springing from the same early roots as the Animals,
Pretty Things and RollingStones, they soon garnered a reputation as a
blues band backing the likes ofJohn Lee Hooker and many other giants of
the genre. From this solid base, theygraduated to writing some of the
most challenging progressive rock music of the1960s and 1970s, yet the
next generation of musicians like Captain Sensible andothers were fans.
Led by visionary guitarist, singer andsongwriter Tony McPhee (who
sadly passed away in 2023, age 79), abetted by thepowerhouse rhythm
section of Ken Pustelnik and Pete Cruickshank. DJ John Peelwas a big fan
and helped to send their Split album into the top five. Other
albums such as Thank Christ For TheBomb, Who Will Save The World,
Hogwash and Solid cemented their reputation andtheir thirteen studio
albums span four decades.
Tony’s adventures as a pioneerof the
synthesizer, taking it on the road on a solo tour and building one ofthe
first home studios to record with it, shows another side to the
complexMcPhee that is far less widely known, understood and, let alone,
appreciated. This is the story of those classic years.
