This is the best release by the Groundhogs, a power trio psychedelic/blues outing from the U.K. that never made it that big in the USA, probably due to a lack of touring as they had everything and more to offer that other British blues bands did who thrived in the States. Hogwash is notable for T.S. McPhee's expertise with the wah wah pedal and creative use of the mellotron and ARP synthesizer to round out their sound without leaving their trademark blues base. Clever arrangements, distorted guitar lines, and concrete bass playing flesh out some great songs, especially "I Love You Miss Ogyny", "3744 James Road", "Earth Shanty", and "Sad Is The Hunter". One of my favorite albums from the late sixties/early seventies, it must be played LOUD.
