The Groundhogs began in 1964, when Tony McPhee and Pete Cruikshank formed "John Lee's Groundhogs" to back John Lee Hooker on a British tour. They released their final blues album, "Blues Obituary", in 1969. After that, they began swimming with the tide of heavy progressive rock and, beginning with 1970's "Thank Christ For The Bomb", they chalked up three Top Ten albums during the early Seventies. |
