BGO 0095 (Barcode: 5017261200952) ~ UK ~ Blues-Rock
Recorded: 1971 Released: 1992
1st album by British guitarist / vocalist Mick AbrahamsFind albums by this artist, one of the most underrated guitar players in the history as far as I´m concerned. Abrahams first achieved recognition as a founding member of Jethro TullFind albums by this artist, with the release of their debut album "This WasFind albums with this title", where he plays some incredible guitar licks, which earned him comparisons with "God" Eric ClaptonFind albums by this artist.
A personality clash and musical differences between Abrahams and Ian AndersonFind albums by this artist led to his decision to leave Jethro Tull and form the brilliant Blodwyn PigFind albums by this artist, one of the earliest and best Jazz-Rock / Blues Fusion bands ever. The original Blodwyn Pig lineup lasted just under two years and recorded two outstanding albums, breaking up prematurely.
Abrahams then formed the Mick Abrahams BandFind albums by this artist, which is featured on this album. In later years Abrahams was to reform Blodwyn Pig and record several more album with that group (from the 1990s on) as well as leading the Mick Abrahams Band. His amazing guitar playing is unfortunately only recognized by a relatively small circle of fans, although in retrospect his consistently excellent performances in the last five decades are quite unparalleled.
This album was recorded soon after the demise of the original Blodwyn Pig and features a great lineup of Mick on guitar, Bob SargeantFind albums by this artist on keyboards and guitar, Walt MonaghanFind albums by this artist on bass and Ritchie DharmaFind albums by this artist on drums. The material, all written by Abrahams, is a great example of Blues-Rock, the genre in which Abrahams feels most comfortable. The album lost nothing of its charm and beauty and is certainly worth of an honorable place in any serious record collection.
