Shame that such a great and relevant band does not get some more discussion here, so I thought I started a separate thread. I am on a binge today and have listened to the first 6 albums in one seat (it helps that some serious back-ache issues kept me from work). From the post-modern interpretation of the blues in Blues Obituary to the complex Split suite or to the overt "progginess" of Hogwash they never cease to amaze me. Ferocious and sophisticated at the same time, they squeezed out of the blues a unique mixture that defies any categorization.
And Tony McPhee is one of the greatest guitar players ever.
So, what are your favorites? And do you have any musical suggestions that could possibly match the Mighty Groundhogs?
