Still A Fool
Performer: The Groundhogs
Distributor: E1 Distribution (USA) Notes: Emerging from the mid-1960s British blues boom, the Groundhogs cut their professional teeth as John Lee Hooker's British touring band. Their 1968 debut album shows a group simultaneously in search of authenticity and an original sound, with a heavy emphasis on electric reworkings of traditional material like "Walking Blues" and "Still a Fool."
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.
