Tony McPhee – Graveyard Blues

July 25th, 2010


Tony McPhee The Groundhogs were an iconic blues and progressive rock band characterised by improvised screaming guitar solos, which achieved several top chart albums (Thank Christ For The Bomb, Split, Who Will Save The World & Hogwash) through the 1970’s. Tony ‘TS’ McPhee is the talent behind ‘The Groundhogs’, and his outstanding writing and phenominal guitar skills have formed and pushed at the outskirts of British blues and rock for the last fourty odd years. Despite the album success, The Groundhogs retain a cult status, you are either absolutely passionate about them or have never heard of them. In the early 1960s Tony was invited to join his mates band, ‘The Dollarbills’ a local pop band, he persuaded them to start playing Blues and R&B after he had seen Cyril Davies and the All-Stars playing at the Marquee club and suggested ‘Groundhogs’ as a name for the band, after a John Lee Hooker album track. Tony and the band played all of the gigs on the blossoming blues circuit and then were fortunate to be asked to back Hooker on the final week of his first British tour. John enjoyed the company of the band and preferred to travel with them in their Commer van and asked the “Number one British blues band”, to back him on later British tours. At around the same time the Hogs also backed Champion Jack Dupree who later told Melody Maker that they were ‘the best band he’d ever played with’. In 1965 the Hogs backed Hooker on an album which was initially called John Lee Hooker

He Reigns by Newsboy

July 24th, 2010


Newsboys is a Christian pop band. The band was formed in Australia in 1985 and has been one of the most popular and best selling Christian music artists of the past two decades. He Reigns: The Worship Collection is the second major compilation album for the Christian rock group Newsboys. After the group left Sparrow Records, the label decided to release a new compilation album. While their first compilation Shine: The Hits covered their most well-known songs, He Reigns: The Worship Collection covered the softer, more “inspirational” songs in the latter part of the group’s career (from 1999’s Love Liberty Disco album to their most recent set, Devotion) leaving off some of their most well-known “pop” songs (most notably “Love Liberty Disco” and “Million Pieces (Kissin’ Your Cares Goodbye)”) released during this time period.
