| | Tony & Groundhogs |
| | Tony has been playing guitar since the age of 14, self taught, he cut his teeth copying guitar instrumentals by groups such as The Shadows, then he heard the Cyril Davies Blues Band and he was hooked. | | | Tony also appeared on albums with Champion Jack Dupree, Eddie Boyd the John Dummer Blues Band and on blues compilations with John Mayall, Eric Clapton and Savoy Brown. | | | However, before taking the band into the progressive rock sound of the 70’s, Tony was a bluesman and he has maintained this interest in the background, touring with an acoustic blues solo set, which now includes duets with partner |

| | The album was released March of this year and peaked at 8 in the UK album charts. | | | Using Tony McPhee's Suffolk studio the band record the album "Solid". | | | It was this line up of McPhee, Cruickshank and Brooks that recorded the album "Hogwash" after which the band begin touring again. |

| | The band was Tony McPhee on guitar, Pete Cruickshank on bass, Dave Boorman on drums, and Tom Parker on keyboards--some of the stuff here may have surfaced elsewhere, on the Interchord label (as Don't Want Nobody) with brass dubbed on, but this release consists of the undubbed recordings. | | | Hooker was back in May and June of 1965, and not only used them as his band but recorded this album with the Groundhogs. | | | McPhee and the Groundhogs' most important musical legacy, this 1996 reissue has an unusual history. |

| | DPRP CD Reviews - 2001 - Volume |
| | Tony McPhee is playing old blues songs on an acoustic guitar, accompanied on a few songs by two Polish musicians. | | | On all the re-issues (that is, all except the Tony McPhee CD), the label states that the recordings were taken from "the original vinyl records". | | | Some bonus tracks, however, were taken from CD releases that probably used the original master tapes. |

| | These albums were written and fronted by Tony McPhee who dazzled audiences with his awesome electric guitar solos and which earned him the accolade of 4th best british guitarist in 1971. | | | Tony and Joanna perform songs from the new album, blues classics inspired by the likes of Memphis Minnie, Maria Muldaur, Hooker, Wolf and others and (as always) solo versions of Groundhogs favourites. | | | They will be playing songs from their recently released PLAINSONGS CD and will be supported by TONY WINN. |

| | Biography - Tony McPhee (Bio 130) |
| | McPhee's first group was the Dollarbills, a pop band featuring John Cruickshank on vocals, Pete Cruickshank on bass, and Dave Boorman on drums. | | | Unlike a lot of other blues enthusiasts from the early '60s, McPhee remained true to his roots, and was good enough to rate a berth as a sessionman on Champion Jack Dupree's 1966 Decca album From New Orleans to Chicago. | | | He formed a new Groundhogs, carrying over bassist Pete Cruickshank, and the album Scratching the Surface was duly recorded and released that year. |

| | Blue Live In Poland |
| | Krzysztof, the Harmonica player on the CD tells the story of how Tony came to record a live album in Poland. | | | Although the backing band dominated Tony, they felt like stars and wanted to promote themselves much more than to be backing band. | | | Unfortunately the recordings where made on one track, so it was impossible to mix it, anyway I think it is great to have this CD for Polish fans as distribution of Tony's or Groundhogs CD's in Poland is very week. |

| | The first version of the group lasted about a year, after which McPhee joined Truth, who had released a UK Top 30 hit in early 1966 with a cover version of 'Girl', the Lennon and McCartney song from the 'Rubber Soul' album by The Beatles, before McPhee joined. | | | The LP which actually achieved that milestone was 'Thank Christ For The Bomb', released in 1970, which peaked in the Top 10 of the UK album chart. | | | McPhee refuses to take the entire credit for this revolutionary theory, admitting: "Well, it was forced on me a bit". |

| | McPhee`s extraordinary affinity with the blues is reflected in several tours backing John Lee Hooker and he named his band the Groundhogs (formed in 1962) after a Hooker track. | | | The album was recorded with the classic three piece line-up of McPhee on guitar and vocals, Pete Cruickshank on bass and the exceptional Ken Pustelnik on drums. | | | The only record released by the Tony McPhee Band and the only issue on TS records. |

| | McPhee was always at the very least an impressive guitarist, and a very versatile one, accomplished in electric, acoustic, and slide styles. | | | The Groundhogs' roots actually stretch back to the mid-'60s, when McPhee helped form the group, named after a John Lee Hooker song (the band was also known briefly as John Lee's Groundhogs). | | | They were prone to jam too long on basic riffs, they couldn't hold a candle to American blues singers in terms of vocal presence, and their songwriting wasn't so hot. |

| | Tony McPhee opened the show with a short acoustic set, he was accompanied by his wife on several numbers and their voices blended rather nicely. | | | Tony Mcphee opened the night with a 20 minute acoustic session.He is good considering his recovery from a stroke a few years ago..he was joined by a friend lady singer and they duetted. | | | The show opened with Tony Mc Phee at 7.30 (an acoustic set : him on accoustic guitar on vocals and his wife on vocals).After a short changeover Edgar Winter and his band was on for approximately 1 hour, with his Texas drive rock show. |

| | Tony recalls repairing his first guitar in 1952 and completing his first acceptable guitar — a nylon-strung classical — in l955. | | | The first metal-front Zemaitis guitar was made for Tony McPhee, of the Groundhogs, in the late ’60s. | | | The success of the Faces in the early ’70s ensured Tony’s guitars would be seen far and wide, as both Wood and bassist Ronnie “Plonk” Lane toured relentlessly with their then-unfamiliar metal-fronted guitars. |

| | McPhee subsequently teamed up with John Cruickshank in the aptly named Herbal Mixture, and enjoyed a brief tenure with The John Dummer Blues Band, before re-forming The Groundhogs, this time minus the John Lee prefix, in 1968. | | | Originally called The Dollar Bills, McPhee formed the first group with brothers John (vocals/mouth harp) and Pete Cruickshank (bass), David Boorman (drums) and Tom Parker (piano). | | | They changed name to John Lees Groundhogs in 1963, in honour of a song by blues giant JOHN LEE HOOKER. |

| | All during this time, Tony McPhee was occasionally releasing a solo album, or working as a backup musician on other folks albums. | | | PERSONNEL: 1972 - Spring 1975 Tony McPhee - guitar, vocals Pete Cruikshank - bass Clive Brooks - drums STUDIO SESSION: September/October 1972 - Hogwash (released October 1972) I Miss Ogyny You Had A Lesson The Ring Master 3744 James Road Sad Is The Hunter S'one Song Earth Shanty Mr. | | | I liked the 1968 - 1972 version of the band (it is actually the only version of the band that I have managed to pick up records for), so that is the version of the band that this page will most heavily cover. |

| | It initiates more of a fundamental prog rock sound, with Tony McPhee's guitar work (along with a smattering of keyboard bits) taking on some well-maintained aggression. | | | The album is the first for the former Egg drummer Clive Brooks, replacing Ken Pustlenik who left after 1972's Who Will Save the World album, while bass player Peter Cruickshank dishes out some of the group's better bottom-heavy riffs. | | | But, even with a hearty progressive foundation in place, the material from Hogwash has a hard time competing with 1970's Thank Christ for the Bomb or the conceptual Split album, which came out a year later. |
