OK ,But Check Out The Original Band First.......2000-07-19

The Groundhogs in their original incarnation were the best heavy white boy blues rock band EVER ! What you have hear is (genius, virtuoso) guitarist Tony McPhee with some new sidemen, circa 1987, originally known as the Tony McPhee Blues Band, then switching over to the name Groundhogs. The bassist and drummer are totally inferior to the originals Cruickshank and Pustelnick. Although Tony can still wring the neck with best of them, many of these arrangements just simplify the tunes, probably because these sidemen didn't quite cut it, to pull the original sound off. "Mistreated" is almost unrecognizable from the great version on Blues Obituary.

Re-Package Of Hogs On The Road.......2002-03-25

Well this is not from the classic Groundhogs period as the title would have you believe. It's a re-package of the late 80's version of the band's live album Hogs On The Road,minus some tracks. Hogs On The Road has been re-packsged under several different budget titles, and recently was properly released on CD in it's entirety. Tony McPhee's performance here sounds a little tired and half hearted, and his sidemen don't hold a candle to Pete Cruickshank and Ken Pustelnik of the real classic 1969-1972 line-up. Some tunes like Mistreated and Express Man are barely recognizable,performed in a hurried up, over simplified fashion. Pass on this and get Boogie With Us, a better live collection with material from the great Hoggin The Stage album that featured both the 'classic' line-up recorded at Leeds opening for the Stones and recorded by Glyn Johns, and the 1976 Black Diamond crew,performing in Sweden, as well.

The Groundhogs at their finest........2000-11-10

This is one of the best, if not the best, live recording of the Groundhogs ever. It has tracks from thier entire career and will keep you on your feet from start to finish. Mcphee does has amazing solos which make you wonder why he is not more recognized. So if you like the Groundhogs and do not have this then BUY IT. You are not a true fan until you have this record and you do not really "know" the Groundhogs until you hear it.
