To my mind Tony McPhee was one of the best old-style blues-based electric guitarists from the 60's and 70's. Unlike Eric Clapton and many others he was a true all round musician and actually composed and later recorded and arranged his own material, in the process making one of the first 'concept' albums, providing the Beatles with a useful riff, and turning down a front-man job with the Rolling Stones. This odd 25-years-later nostalgia album was apparently put together by McPhee in his home studio and overdubbed to make it sound like a live recording. He performed bass too, as Pete Chymon, an anagram of his own name. As he says, it's a bit self indulgent as the tracks are some of his old favourites which he never got to play live, but quite nicely done for all that. According to the sleeve notes it was produced in 1996, eventually being made available in 2017. So, a glimpse of the old Groundhog from probably McPhee's golden years, and a trip down memory lane for enthusiasts. A bit creaky in places, but still highly recommended. Read full review
