T(ony) S. McPhee (Guitar Solo), Tom Parker (Organ), Fred Jackson (Tenor Sax), Pete(r) Cruickshank (Bass), Ken Pustelnik (Drums), Mike Vernon (Produced By) | | Comments | by John Lee's Groundhogs. Originally recorded for Blue Horizon Records whilst Tony McPhee (then known as T.S. McPhee) was backing Jack Dupree on an album session. This side has not previously been released. It was part of an audition tape recorded by the original Groundhogs led by John Lee. In the same year the tapes were rejected and this is the only side that survived. "John Lee's Groundhogs, now simply Groundhogs, are perhaps the only band that commenced purely as a blues outfit and have progressed successfully through to the rock idiom. In their original form they were the most popular of backing groups for visiting American blues artists-they backed Jimmy Reed, Memphis Slim, Jack Dupree and John Lee Hooker on their many visits here and made several sessions with them. Over the years they have become one of the top college attractions on both sides of the Atlantic and also have a long string of album successes behind them. It's a long way since the Flamingo and the Archway Studio as T.S. McPhee eh Tony? Incidentally, no prizes offered for knowing what T.S. stands for." - Mike Vernon | | Appears On | |
