I started with “Split” – I bought a UK LP of it, likely because of the nifty cover. What I got at age 13 was sophisticated guitar playing, extra-tight songwriting and singing. From a power trio! Wow, who is this guy? Pretty much all of the Groundhogs LP’s could be found easily, at that time. The next one that really captivated my imagination was “Solid”, from ’74. In the CD age, I kept buying whatever CD’s I could find with McPhee or The Groundhogs name on ‘em. I remain a big fan into the new century. To my knowledge, they have never come to the US to play any gigs. And I don’t think I ever saw any video of them, either. But I got some cool 45’s!
