Album Notes & Community Reviews
Blodwyn Pig's second album continued Mick Abrahams' post-Jethro Tull project with a stronger emphasis on blues-rock drive and jazz-colored horn work. 'Getting to This' captures the band shortly before lineup changes and reflects the late-1960s British blues scene's move toward progressive arrangements.
