With the Groundhogs, Tony McPhee wrote British blues rock history from the 1960s onwards. Along with Neil Young, he is one of the founding fathers of grunge rock. Still today records like 'Thank Christ For The Bomb', 'Hogwash' or 'Split' belong in every well-kept collection. Julian Cope, the British “Krautrock” expert and former frontman of The Teardrop Explodes, once said: 'The way Tony McPhee and the Groundhogs developed the blues was as revolutionary as the works of MC5, the Stooges or that of the Krautrock movement.' When Tony McPhee was not on tour or recording with the Groundhogs, he was on the road with his Tony McPhee's Blues Band, featuring Tony McPhee (guitars, vocals), Steve Towner (bass) and Mick Kirton (drums, ex-Groundhogs, ex-Dumpys Rusty Nuts), indulging his very special form of psychedelic heavy blues. Recordings of Tony McPhee's Blues Band are very rare, with the line-up of McPhee, Towner and Kirton there is only one single from 1983 existing. So we are all the more pleased that the first official longplayer of this enthusiastic trio will now be available with this live album, 'Split II - Live In Bremen' from 1982.
Incidentally, Tony McPhee came to the blues through John Lee Hooker, with whom he toured in 1964. Tony McPhee remembers: '“He (Hooker) said that sometimes he played eleven bars, sometimes thirteen, sometimes twelve and a half. And I realised he did it on purpose – I’d thought he just couldn’t count!”
Mit den Groundhogs hat Tony McPhee ab den 1960-ern britische Bluesrock-Geschichte geschrieben. Neben Neil Young zählt er zu den Urvätern des Grunge. Alben wie 'Thank Christ For The Bomb', 'Hogwash' oder 'Split' gehören auch noch heute in jede gepflegte Plattensammlung. Julian Cope, der britische Krautrockexperte und ehemalige Frontmann von The Teardrop Explodes, sagte einst: „Die Art und Weise, in der Tony McPhee und die Groundhogs den Blues weiterentwickelt haben, war ähnlich revolutionär wie das Schaffen von MC5, den Stooges oder das der Krautrock-Bewegung.“ Wenn Tony McPhee nicht mit den Groundhogs auf Tour war oder Platten aufnahm, reiste er mit seiner Tony McPhee's Blues Band in der Besetzung Tony McPhee (guitars, vocals), Steve Towner (bass) und Mick Kirton (drums, ex-Groundhogs, ex-Dumpys Rusty Nuts) durch die Lande, um seiner ganz speziellen Form des Psychedelic Heavy Blues zu frönen. Tonträger der Tony McPhee's Blues Band sind rar gesät, in der Besetzung McPhee, Towner und Kirton gibt es lediglich eine Single aus dem Jahr 1983. Daher ist die Freude umso größer, das jetzt mit der Live-Aufnahme 'Split II - Live In Bremen' aus dem Jahr 1982 der erste offizielle Longplayer dieses spielfreudigen Trios auf den Markt kommt.
Zum Blues kam Tony McPhee übrigens durch John Lee Hooker, mit dem er 1964 auf Tour war. Tony McPhee erinnert sich: “He (Anm.: Hooker) said that sometimes he played eleven bars, sometimes thirteen, sometimes twelve and a half. And I realised he did it on purpose – I’d thought he just couldn’t count!” ('Er (Anm.: Hooker) sagte, dass er manchmal elf Takte spielte, manchmal dreizehn, manchmal zwölfeinhalb. Und mir wurde klar, dass er das mit Absicht tat - ich hatte gedacht, er könne einfach nicht zählen!' |
