GROUNDHOGS “Hoggin The Stage”
Format: 180 gram gatefold 2LP
Barcode: 8013252900655
One of the finer moments of British blues, the Groundhogs, lead by British guitar hero Tony McPhee, worshipped in the church of American blues and R&B. Devotees of John Lee Hooker, the band name comes from one of Hookers songs, but they proved their chops in the mid sixties when Hooker selected them to back him on his British tours. However, while the Groundhogs played a derivative sound, they were a solid band in their own right, with an especially electrifying live presence, as proven in their “Hoggin- the Stage”. Originally released in 1984, this album is a collection of live recordings from 1971, in London and Leeds, during a Stones tour, where Mick Jagger personally requested the Groundhogs to perform, and a gig in Stockholm in 1976 shortly before they disbanded. If you missed them live during these years, here is your chance to bask in their glory.
