Distributor: Caroline Distribution Notes: Originally released in 1988, HOGS ON THE ROAD is, as indicated by the title, a live album from cult-fave British blues-rockers the Groundhogs. Over the course of its two discs, there's guitar glory aplenty to be found, as the band runs through classics from its own catalog (like "Split" and "Cherry Red") as well as tackling such tunes as Robert Johnson's Delta blues milestone "Me and the Devil."
The Groundhogs began their career as the backing band for blues legend John Lee Hooker. By the late 1960s, though, the band had shifted gears to incorporate acid rock and heady prog workouts into its repertoire. Founding member and lead guitarist Tony McPhee continued to front the Groundhogs and tour under the name well into the '90s and early 2000s. Never a commercial success, the Groundhogs remain cult heroes to fans of heavy guitar rock and psychedelic music.
