The band recorded two albums: Ahead Rings Out (1969) and Getting to This (1970). Both reached the lower half of the British top ten. On the first album they played a heavy blues-rock rooted in the British 1960s R'n'B scene from which sprang groups like the Yardbirds, Free, and eventually Led Zeppelin, but Blodwyn Pig had a different twist on the genre thanks to Lancaster's sax being so prominent in the mix, which led them to more creative sixties underground jazz-influenced music on the second. The single "Summer Day" from Ahead Rings Out failed to chart.

Blodwyn Pig Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
As the song Cat Squirrel by Blodwyn Pig featuring Mick Abrahams is an instrumental track, there are no lyrics to analyze. However, it is still possible to interpret the underlying emotions and energy of the song through its instrumentation.
The song opens with a fast, frenzied guitar riff that immediately sets a tone of urgency and intensity. The drums enter soon after, driving the rhythm forward with a propulsive beat that inspires movement and energy. Throughout the song, the guitar and drums continue to alternate between moments of frenzied intensity and more measured, controlled sections that allow listeners to catch their breath.
Overall, Cat Squirrel is a high-energy instrumental track that evokes a sense of motion and movement. It is a perfect example of the blues rock genre and showcases the technical skill and creativity of Mick Abrahams and the rest of the band.

Seriously 29K views and what <1% thumbs up (237), just listen, imagine producing that sound from just your fingers and a few metal strings. Really think about it, 50 years from now someone will be saying the same thing. I'm gettin my headphones because this is very nearly magic. It has heart and soul and the execution is on par with the caliber of the band.

l must admit, you should never judge a book by the cover. l don't like the name of the band, but the music is fantastic. Great guitar licks.

Mick Abrams also did a nice version of Cat's Squirrel while he was with Jethro Tull - the drummer Clive Bunker's mad licks added appreciably to that track

Mick doubled its length in here from the version he did with Tull in 1968 & his earlier remake in 1996 . Also done in 2000 by the Chicago Blue Revue & Cream in 1966. I put these and the original by Doctor Ross version (with lyrics) in my "Tull: covers and covering" playlist.
