GETTING TO THIS

Wow, I'm surprised how little reviews and ratings this band has gathered so far. I assumed their Jethro Tull connection would help to promote Blodwyn Pig a bit more. Their second album is very fine example of early stages of rock music when many things were trown into one big melting pot. Blodwyn Pig speciality is a catchy mixture of rock, blues, jazz (with brass) showing band's musicality. There are occasinal guitar noodlings which could be shortened and the longest piece isn't cohesive at all (but still contains some great passages). The music is very energetic and with flute parts here and there it would fit nicely in one of early Jethro Tull albums. Very enjoyable stuff. Three and a half star rounded up to four to help upgrade overall grading which is currently below three which is to harsh.
