226) Groundhogs-Blues Obituary 1969

Av Mikael Persson - 17 februari 2014 17:14

 


Another great cover on Groundhogs 2nd album and were still in the 1960's when this band continued their bluesy journey, mixing in, for the time, mordern elements of rock and psychadelia in a very raw mix, that reminds of other white bluesbands of the era, like Led Zeppelin, but with an unmistakibly own weird twist. On this album they played more harder rock than blues, compared to the 1st album but I think the best songs are the bluesy ones here. This in not an album I would listen to again, like all the early Groundhogs-albums.


1)B.D.D. (7,0) One of the band's most known songs. Guitar and vocals played and sung simutainesly in a good bluesrocker an not as unpolished as other songs. Nice long guitarsolo.

2)Daze of the weak (6,5) First a slow blues but then it turns into a frentic guitarsolo and crazy highenergy drumming.

3)Times (5,0) This is rather weird with crazy vocals and guitarplaying.

4)Mistreated (5,0) Hard riffing and nice melodic but weird vocal-melody.

5)Express man (7,5) A good blues.

6)Natchez burning (7,5) Slow blues.

7)Light was the day (2,0) Very very weird instrumental with guitar and drum-chaos.


Score: 5,79


Tony McPhee-vocals, guitars, harmonium and mellotron (b.1944)

Pete Cruickshank-bass (b.1945 in India)

Ken Pustelnik-drums (b.1946)

    Album number two from this incredible supergroup that made some unforgettable music in the 1980's! This is again melodic hardrock with a lot of keyboards and with impressing melodic, orchestral and powerful songs with fantastic vocals. A mus...

    8 years into their albumreleasingcareer J. Geils Band released another album worth of rockin' and rollin' songs but this time they took a much calmer and poppier path and not all the songs are top class anymore. It seemes like they went out ...

    This american doom-band has an interesting history. Formed as an side-project by Pentagram's Bobby Liebling and Geof O'Keefe and was completed with Randy Palmer as far back as 1973-74 when they also recorded some material which did not get r...

    Another one of my favorite bands from the 1980's and 90's. I have always loved thier simple and bluesy hardrocksongs with singer Jack Russell's clear and sensetive vocals. This, their 3rd album is one of the highlights of the band's career a...
