The Groundhogs backed up blues legend John Lee Hooker, influenced everyone from Eric Clapton to punk pioneers The Damned, and gave rock one of its greatest guitar heroes in Tony McPhee. But outside of their hardy cult following, their name largely draws blank stares today.

Even if the band had never ventured beyond its blues-rock beginnings, they would still have been celebrated alongside the U.K.'s finest '60s blues bashers. But in a startling evolutionary leap that has The Beatles' rapid musical maturation for company, The Groundhogs went from covering American blues chestnuts to crafting a singular, sophisticated blend of psychedelia, prog, and hard rock for their most celebrated albums.

Through it all, singer/guitarist/songwriter Tony McPhee proved an astonishingly gifted axeman, the equal of anyone from Richard Thompson to Jeff Beck, with a seemingly endless supply of quirky, commanding tunes. Through a series of shifting lineups, McPhee led the band from its mid '60s inception all the way up through the 2010s.
