Our Take

JETHRO TULL's "Songs From The Wood" is like stumbling upon a whimsical forest party where the guests are wearing velvet tunics and playing folk rock tunes on flutes and mandolins. It's a musical journey through a mystical woodland, where Ian Anderson's distinctive vocals guide you through tales of nature, love, and ancient folklore.

The album, released in 1977, is a delightful mix of traditional English folk music and progressive rock, with intricate instrumentation and Anderson's charismatic flute playing stealing the show. Songs like "Jack-In-The-Green" and "The Whistler" transport you to a world where the grass is always green and the sun shines through the trees.

Anderson's lyrics are a blend of poetry and storytelling, weaving tales of love and loss with a touch of whimsy. The band's musicianship is top-notch, with Martin Barre's guitar work adding layers of depth to each track.

Overall, "Songs From The Wood" is a joyful romp through an enchanted forest, a celebration of nature and music that will leave you feeling like you've taken a refreshing stroll through the countryside. So grab your flute, put on your best tunic, and join JETHRO TULL on this magical musical journey.

About the artist

Jethro Tull

JETHRO TULL: The Flute-Wielding Wizard of Prog-Rock If you ask any music aficionado to name a band with a flautist as their frontman, chances are the first name that pops into their head is Jethro Tull. Led by the enigmatic Ian Anderson, Jethro Tull has been pushing the boundaries of rock music since the late 1960s, infusing their sound with folk, blues, and a healthy dose of whimsical storytelling. Anderson himself is a true musical polymath, effortlessly switching between flute solos that will make your jaw drop and vocals that can range from a gentle whisper to a full-on rock scream. And let's not forget his signature move of standing on one leg while playing the flute - a feat that has left many a fan scratching their heads in wonder. But it's not just Anderson's musical prowess that makes Jethro Tull stand out. Their albums are a masterclass in storytelling, with concept albums like "Thick as a Brick" and "Aqualung" taking listeners on a journey through surreal worlds and thought-provoking narratives. And let's not forget their epic live performances, complete with elaborate stage setups and Anderson's iconic stage presence. So, whether you're a die-hard prog-rock fan or just someone looking to expand their musical horizons, Jethro Tull is a band that should be on your radar. With their unmatched musicianship, whimsical storytelling, and one-legged flute-playing frontman, Jethro Tull is a force to be reckoned with in the world of rock music.
