6677. Blodwyn Pig - The Squirreling Must Go On

-
https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61ID5bf2SRL.jpg
From: Getting to This; Year: 1970; Genre: Blues Rock
A few days ago I discovered that guitarist/songwriter/vocalist Mick Abrahams passed away at the age of 82. Whilst he was quite prolific as a solo recording artist and with various versions of the bands he founded, probably he is best-known as Jethro Tull's first lead guitarist, who appeared on their debut album, This Was and their earlier singles. Affectionately, to many 'Tull fans, he has been referred to as "The Pete Best of Jethro Tull," because the band really had its biggest fame and success after he left.
Blodwyn Pig was the band he initially formed after he left, which lasted a few years and re-formed in the 1990s off and on. This track is from the band's second record, which was also the final one until the fore-mentioned reunions, and is a heavy blues rock instrumental piece with some very interesting time signatures and great solos throughout.

About My Song A Day Blog:

Image
Okay, What is this "Song a Day Blog?" Well, this is a hobby of mine that I have been at for over 18 years now, (since September First, 2007), in which I set aside a few minutes every day to create my ultimate playlist in a diary form, if you will. I try to add a different song each day and share with those who are interested as to why I like the song and the artist that performed it and/or maybe some facts about them. Myself, along with a few others, (the couple others who still remain active), have taken it upon themselves to create and maintain these song-a-day blogs; I highly recommend the other blogs that are linked to in the "Other Blogs I Follow and Find Interesting:" list below.  I have also provided links to the blogs that have gone dormant for one reason or another in the same list as well. Hope you enjoy!
