"CAT'S SQUIRREL" by Jethro Tull (( New STEREO Mix ))

I want to hear Tull playing this live. I love their interpretation but I need to hear it live, rolling for six or seven minutes!

Actually -- this was the first Blodwyn Pig album. The post Mick Jethro Tull is also great, but Ian and Mick had different visions. To me Stand Up was the first Tull album, despite the name of the band on This Was.

Great job. This was(no pun intended) was groundbreaking stuff. A raw, powerful melding of jazz and rock. This is when quaility players developed a whole new style that lasted for over 30 years on the popular AOR. Yes, Anderson did blow it. Its too bad that Bunker, Cornick, and Abrahams couldn't have latched on to a frontman like Plant, Marriot, Coverdale, or even a more bluesy stylist singer. Don't want to dis Ian too much...he did some good stuff. Whatever happened to bassist Glenn Cornick?

Clive Bunker should've joined Bloodwyn Pig ! What a great drummer ! This was one of the best rock blues albums of all time !!!! To bad it couldn't last.

4:44 to 4:48. That's some sound!

Thank you Strat78. Very fine Tull pics too (I'd never seen some of them). Simple tune, superbly played by Tull.

Lets hope we will get to hear Mick again and that he can recover!

great jethro tull tune

[spacepatrolman]

When I first heard this on wnew in new york scott muni made it sound like jethro tull was the guitarist [nice pictures of cats and squirrels and the group ] .

[ricmkover]

Sounds like CREAM.Thats why Abrahams had to go,leave Tull.Anderson is JT.

[spacepatrolman]

Thats not the reason i think its because he didnt get along with glen cornick blodwyn pig had a sax flute player like jethro tull so they played jazz and jazz rock .

[EdTracey347]

That's true - although in his memoirs Mick Abrahams says that he and Cornick get along fine today, and that he has worked with Anderson from time-to-time. Sometimes, things have a way of sorting themselves out.
