MICK ABRAHAMS
with RITCHIE DHARMA, BOB SARGEANT, WALT MONAGHAN
Mick Abraham's was one of the more unfortunate hard-luck stories in rock music.
Best known for his work on Jethro Tull's debut album, This Was, where he played blues licks that
had critics comparing him favorably to Eric Clapton, he left the group, and since then has never
managed to achieve lasting success as a recording artist, or the world-class fame of his former
bandmates. Leading various incarnations of his best-known band, Blodwyn Pig, he has persevered
over the last quarter century, and achieved some major cult recognition, especially in England.

Mick Abrahams' first formal solo album is more focused on blues and blues-rock, and far less on jazz,
than his work with Blodwyn Pig, and is a better record for it. For first-time listeners, much of this record
will recall Clapton's first post-Cream solo LP, Eric Clapton, in its generally laid-back sound and the presence
of a fairly strong country blues influence. Abrahams' vocals here are a little more mournful than soulful,
his playing (especially when he picks up an acoustic guitar) is up to his usual standard, however,
and Ritchie Dharma's drumming is dizzying in its speed and complexity...(AllMusic)
