Groundhogs - 1997 - The Best Of [EAC FLAC]  Groundhogs  Groundhogs in 1968 Wikipedia: Groundhogs are a British rock band founded in late 1963, that toured extensively in the 1960s, achieved prominence in the early 1970s and continued sporadically into the 21st century. The Best Of  Artist: Groundhogs Title: The Best Of Release Date: 1997 Label: EMI Records: 7243 8 55504 2 3 Genre: Blues Rock Total Time: 01:10:26 AllMusic Review by Chris Nickson: If you're in a band, you can either go with the flow the music takes or plant your feet and refuse to be moved. The Groundhogs, under the leadership of Tony McPhee, one of England's best guitarists, did the former. McPhee was a bluesman through and through, and the Groundhogs started life as a blues trio, but fairly quickly the music took a rock turn and suddenly the Groundhogs had a sizable following. After the cranked-out heavy blues-rock of Blues Obituary, they found their voice and came to notice with the very political Thank Christ for the Bomb, represented here by three tracks ("Strange Town," "Rich Man, Poor Man," "Eccentric Man") which show that while McPhee's writing might have been blues-based, he'd moved well beyond the three-chord, 12-bar format into something that used the band well, leaving room for his guitar solos but offering real substance in the ambitious songs. So it was a surprise when he pulled back from that for the riff-o-rama of Split, although it became their most successful album by far with its tale of schizophrenia. Certainly it's conspicuous here, with five tracks, including "Cherry Red," an inspiration to a generation of nascent electric guitarists. However, they definitely lost the plot with Who Will Save the World?, which took them too far from their base and into the more cerebral world of prog rock; listen to "Earth Is Not Room Enough" to get an idea of what was going on there. It simply doesn't work for them, and they'd head back to blues -- where they were decidedly more comfortable -- in the future; in fact, the version of "Amazing Grace" seems to indicate they knew they'd gone too far from home. If you want to understand the minor phenomenon that was the Groundhogs in the U.K. at the start of the '70s but don't want to splash out for Thank Christ or Split, this is the place to start.  01 Cherry Red 02 Split - Part One 03 Mistreated 04 Still A Fool 05 Split - Part Two 06 Times 07 Groundhog 08 BDD 09 Strange Town 10 You Had A Lesson 11 Rich Man, Poor Man 12 Earth Is Not Room Enough 13 Eccentric Man 14 Split - Part Four 15 Amazing Grace Members: Current Members: Tony McPhee - guitars, vocals (1963-1974, 1976, 1982-2004, 2007-present) Dave Anderson - bass (1987-1988, 2001-2003, 2007-present) Joanna Deacon - vocals (2001-2003, 2011–present) Carl Stokes - drums (2011–present) Former Members: Peter Cruickshank - bass (1963-1974, 2003-2004) Dave Boorman - drums (1963-1965) Bob Hall - keyboards (1963-1965) John Cruickshank - harmonica, vocals (1963-1964) Ken Pustelnik - drums (1965-1972, 2003-2004) Tom Parker - keyboards (1965) Steve Rye - harmonica (1969; died 1992) Clive Brooks - drums (1972-1974) Dave Thompson - bass (1972) Mick Cook - drums (1976; deceased) Martin Kent - bass (1976) Dave Wellbelove - guitars (1976) Rick Adams - guitars (1976) Alan Fish - bass (1982-1994) Wilgar Campbell - drums (1982-1984; died 1989) "Mighty" Joe Young - guitars (1982-1983) Mick Kirkton - drums (1984-1989) Mick Jones - drums (1989-1994, 2000-2003, 2009–2011) Jon Camp - bass (1989, 2001) Eric Chipulina - bass, live guitars (1994-1996, 1996-2000) Pete Correa - drums (1994-1996, 1996-2000) Pete Chymon - bass (1996) Dale Iviss - drums (1996) Brian Jones - bass (2000-2001) Marco Anderson - drums (2007-2009) Note: This is not my rip.
