Blodwyn Pig - It's Only Love (1969)

An energetic blues-rock performance by Blodwyn Pig with "It's Only Love" from their 1969 debut album Ahead Rings Out.🎸🎷 "It's Only Love" is the opening track on Ahead Rings Out, the debut album by Blodwyn Pig, released in 1969. The song was written by Mick Abrahams, who had recently left Jethro Tull to form the band. The track reflects Blodwyn Pig's distinctive blend of blues rock, jazz influences, and progressive rock. Built around Abrahams' guitar work and vocals, it introduces the musical style that runs throughout the album, combining traditional blues roots with a more adventurous and experimental approach. Ahead Rings Out became a successful debut, reaching No. 9 on the UK album chart, and is often regarded as one of the key British blues-rock albums of 1969. "It's Only Love" serves as an effective introduction to the band's sound, showcasing the interplay between Abrahams' blues-based guitar playing and the contributions of saxophonist Jack Lancaster. Today, the song is appreciated by fans of late-1960s British blues rock for its energetic performance and its role in establishing Blodwyn Pig as one of the more original groups to emerge from the post–Jethro Tull blues scene. #BlodwynPig #ItsOnlyLove #AheadRingsOut #1969 #BluesRock #JazzRock #ProgressiveRock #MickAbrahams #JethroTull #JackLancaster #BritishBluesRock #ClassicRock #VintageRock #60sMusic #RockLegends
