Jethro Tull: Songs From The Wood | Extended Play Lounge, Ep. 106
Added 2026-01-21 03:29:23 +0000 UTCThis is one of those albums that demands repeat listens. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this exotic folk rock album...and I feel like there's still quite a bit of magic to yet tap into upon future listens. It was great to get back to music from Jethro Tull after more than two years! I'm curious as to which JT album y'all think we should hear next...

Beltane was actually recorded during the sessions for the next album, which was Heavy Horses

2026-01-26 23:25:05 +0000 UTCFYI Dee Palmer was, at the time, working under a different name, but at some point later transitioned. She is a trans woman. So "she" is the proper pronoun ("Dee" is ambiguous, but I thought you would want to know).

2026-01-26 04:56:37 +0000 UTCFor me the best Tull-album, combining folk, rock - and prog - and baroque! Many parts, especially in Velvet Green and Pibroch remind me of baroque chamber music regarding the counterpoint and the polyphonic writing. I think Dee Palmer (the guy with the portative pipe organ), is responsible for these parts. In Pibroch, we have at 3:23 a kind of fugato - did you notice that? Great musicianship!

2026-01-23 23:03:35 +0000 UTCPersonally, I love their much more recent album, RokFlote. Whilst Ian's voice sadly lacks the quality of the past, his flute playing is fabulous.

2026-01-22 19:44:41 +0000 UTCI always felt Belatane belonged sonically to the Heavy Horses album, despite the pagan lyrics. Vocally and arrangement-wise, it has Heavy Horses fingerprints all over it.
