Groundhogs - Black Diamond (1976)

The 10th album from this band from England.

The band was a quintet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars and vocals.

Tony McPhee was still active and was rocking on.

This is their tenth album and I was curious to find out what the band was up to on this anniversary album.

Groundhogs got rid of their edges and went a lot more polished and cleaned up on this album. 

The result is a clean sounding rock album.

Rock'n'roll is the label I would use here. There is some hard rock and some blues here too.

The album is vocals and guitars dominated. The music is uncomplicated and songs dominated.

The music is pretty charming but still not on the same level as most of their previous albums. The dirtiness is missing on this album. Good songs is also missing.

This is still a decent album. But it is probably their least interesting album of the their, up to then, ten albums.
