Comments on: It’s groundhog day…again… http://www.littlehits.com/blog/?p=53 Mon, 06 Sep 2010 15:28:21 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.7 by: Stewart http://www.littlehits.com/blog/?p=53#comment-56 Fri, 02 Feb 2007 19:39:08 +0000 http://www.littlehits.com/blog/?p=53#comment-56 Someone asked if the rest of the Groundhogs' stuff is this good. This song is definitely their pinnacle, but anyone who likes it would likely enjoy both this album and the one that came before, THANK CHRIST FOR THE BOMB (Liberty 1970). Just bear in mind that it *was* the early '70s, so there's rather a lot of extended guitar wank. Incidentally, I forgot to mention my most favorite part of the entire song: in the opening, after Tony McPhee's initial iteration of the riff, there's one single -- and very loud -- cowbell clank. It's as if the drummer had been planning to add a cowbell track (which actually work really well with that riff) and then decided he couldn't be arsed.
