The Groundhogs: Roadhogs: Live From Richmond To Pocono (2-CD)

(Fire Records) 12 tracks, digisleeve.

A must-have rock artifact that follows the Groundhogs from their blues roots before Thank Christ For The Bomb to the final live show of the classic lineup of Tony McPhee (guitar and vocals), Pete Cruikshank (bass) and Ken Pustelnik (drums).

Never-before-heard recordings from the Warner Brothers archive, including an old 1969 set from their show at the Richmond Athletic Ground (aka The Crawdaddy Club) and their last explosive set at Pocono Raceway. Included are the live debut of the anthemic Cherry Red and McPhee's seismic destruction of Amazing Grace. It's a career-spanning gem from the ultimate heavy rock power trio, who have 976 days and more than 250 live shows under their belt. In their stage show, they focus on being as heavy and as badass as possible. The Scene magazine. On stage, we focus on excitement, so we play the numbers that contain the greatest amount of movement and dynamics, Tony McPhee told Star Pop.

"The Groundhogs"

Groundhogs

1962 von Sänger und Gitarrist Tony McPhee (geboren 22. 3.1944 in Humberstone) gegründete Bluesgruppe. Mitspieler in diesen Anfangstagen war noch Bassist Peter Cruikshank (geboren 2. 7.1945 in Kalkutta). Immer wieder wechselten die Musiker, bis McPhee seine Formation um 1966 auflöste und sich anderen Gruppen anschloß.

1968 jedoch waren die Groundhogs wieder da. McPhee hatte eingesehen, daß er seine Musik nur in seiner Gruppe spielen konnte, wenngleich das auch eine Menge mehr an Ärger und Verantwortung einbrachte. McPhee tendierte in dieser Zeit zu politisch engagierten Texten, die nicht immer in das Blues-Schema hineinpaßten. Dadurch wurde die Gruppe mit der Zeit immer rockiger. Ein Erfolg blieb allerdings aus durch die mangelhafte Promotion und Firmenpolitik der Plattenfirma. Als McPhee den Auftrag für Filmmusiken bekam und sogar in einem Streifen eine Rolle übernehmen sollte, versprach er sich davon mehr und löste seine Gruppe Anfang März 1975 auf.
