THE GROUNDHOGS
Groundhogs were an English blues and progressive rock band founded in late 1963. They touredextensively in the 1960s, achieved prominence in the early 1970s, and continued sporadically into the 21st century.
McPhee and the Groundhogs' most important musical legacy, this 1965 set of Hooker and the Hogs has an unusual history. Tony McPhee and the Groundhogs first played with John Lee Hooker in June of 1964, when John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers were unable to fulfill a commitment to back Hooker on the final week of his British tour.
