Biografia:

Trilhando um caminho diferente do rotineiro rock progressivo/bluseiro britânico do final dos anos 60, a Blodwyn Pig alicerçou-se pelas mãos de Mick Abrahams, ex-guitarrista da Jethro Tull, que deixou a antiga banda após o disco "This Was". Abrahams acompanhou-se do baixista Andy Pyle, do baterista Ron Berg e do saxofonista e flautista Jack Lancaster, que caracterizou o som do grupo com seus instrumentos de sopro.

Nos dois discos que gravou, a banda explorou um estilo que combinava jazz, blues e rock progressivo, seguindo um pouco o modelo da Jethro Tull (nada surpreendente, considerando o passado do seu fundador), mas com uma sonoridade mais suave. A banda também guardava certa semelhança com a Bluesbreakers, de John Mayall, na sua fase jazzística do final dos anos 60, e talvez com a Colosseum, porém com material mais versátil. Seus dois LPs chegaram ao Top Ten britânico, muito embora as habilidades instrumentais dos seus membros tivessem sido prejudicadas pelos vocais acanhados e o repertório irregular (se bem que não raro criativo). O grupo extinguiu-se definitivamente com a saída de Abrahams, ocorrida depois do lançamento do disco "Getting To This", de 1970, voltando a se reunir brevemente em meados dos anos 70. Abrahams participou de um lineup diferente, reconstruído nos estertores dos anos 80, que lançou alguns discos nos anos 90 (Richie Unterberger, AllMusic; tradução livre do inglês).
