Blodwyn Pig Pigthology
Blodwyn Pig was a heavy, blues-rock band from the UK during the late ‘60s. Perhaps most famous for featuring future Jethro Tull guitarist Mick Abrahams, the band also traveled in the same circles as Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd and other heavies. Given today’s fascination with the era, and a slew of new bands emulating the loud, bluesy riffs and acidic haze of the scene, I thought it a perfect addition to this installment.
This comp features a clutch of outtakes and unreleased tracks, plus some recent remasters. While the tracks lack the sheen of a polished studio offering, you can really hear everything—from the up-front vocals in the mix, to the jazzy, sometimes proggy instrumentation. “Stormy Monday” sounds especially vivid, showcasing Abrahams’ considerable knack for tasty licks, while “See My Way” is strange, catchy and cool, so much so, that it was covered by Joey Ramone many years later.
