GROUNDHOGS - HOGGIN' THE STAGE (180g IMPORT 2LP)

The Groundhogs Hoggin' The Stage On 2 x 180g Import LP! 

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 release. 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.
