Blues Rock / Classic Rock
"At Last" (1972) by the Mick Abrahams Band, is the second album that Mick Abrahams did after leaving Blodwyn Pig, and the last he would release until his wonderful solo album "All Said And Done" (1991). Mick Abrahams was a founding member of Jethro Tull, but differences between himself and Ian Anderson resulted in his leaving after their first album "This Was" (1968). From there he founded the group Blodwyn Pig, but left after two albums: "Ahead Rings Out" (1969) and "Getting To This" (1970). He then went on to release the "Mick Abrahams" (1971) album, which is sometimes considered the first album from the Mick Abrahams Band.
The style of the music is rock with jazz and blues influences. "When I Get Back", and "Absent Friends" along with "Maybe Because" are among the strongest tracks, but all of the songs are worth a listen. This album is not for everyone, but those who enjoy "This Was" from Jethro Tull and the first two Blodwyn Pig albums will probably find it worthwhile.
On this album Mick Abrahams plays guitar (including pedal steel and seven string slide) and sings. He is joined by Bob Sargeant (keyboards, mandolin, guitar and vocals), Ritchie Dharma (drums, percussion and vibes) and Walt Monoghan (bass) from his "Mick Abrahams" album. He is also reunited with Jack Lancaster (tenor and soprano sax, flute and clarinet) from Blodwyn Pig.

Mick Abrahams Band, английская рок-группа. Известный сегодня прежде всего как сооснователь JETHRO TULL, певец и гитарист Мик Абрахамс был одним из самых ярких представителей прогрессивно-блюзовой сцены Британии на рубеже 1970-х годов. Его индивидуальный, хотя и не особо ровный талант проявился в ранних записях TULL, альбомах Blodwyn Pig, а также в редких соло-работах. Мик Абрахамс (Mick Abrahams, р. 7 апреля 1943, Лутон, Англия) начал играть на гитаре в школьной команде еще в конце 50-х годов. Пройдя через все местные танцплощадки, он получил первый профессинальный ангажемент, аккомпанируя полузабытому ныне рокеру Дикки Прайду, а в 1963 собрал свою собственную группу THE HUSTLERS. Они колесили по дорогам южной Англии с репертуаром из стандартов рок-н-ролла и блюза, пока не попались на глаза известному поп-певцу Нилу Крисчену, который нанял их в качестве своей бэк-группы. Так THE HUSTLERS превратились в THE CRUSADERS, а Мик занял место Ритчи Блэкмора. Альянс просуществовал два месяца - с марта по май 1965, после чего THE HUSTLERS вернули независимость, хотя Абрахамс оставался у Нила до октября, когда после выступления в Манчестере ушел и организовал там бит-группу TOGGERY 5 (два сингла на Parlophone). В январе 1967 он вернулся в Лутон и собрал блюз-бэнд McGREGORY'S ENGINE. Группа продержалась вместе всего год и распалась после неудачной попытки покорить аудиторию лондонских клубов. В ноябре того же года Абрахамс и барабанщик ENGINE Клив Банкер вошли в состав JETHRO TULL. Эмоциональный и нервный, импровизационный по своей природе гитарный стиль Абрахамса в немалой мере определил оригинальное звучание TULL, однако его блюзовая техника была далека от вкусов Иэна Андерсона; ровно через год после выхода альбома Мик был вынужден уйти.
