Tull's playing Phoenix next month...argh...still don't have tix. Pretty good tune. |

There are better songs on the record, such as "The Habanero Reel", but even the worst on the record are pretty good, in my estimation.
The fact that I. Anderson/Jethro Tull continue to delight their fans, make new music, and tour after all these years is a testament to their creativity and integrity as musicians.
It's easy to sell out after ten years, but takes a boatload of talent to make a 30-something year career out of being a popular musician, as Anderson and Tull have.
Critics should consider at least that much.
 Well said, Tony! Cheerio! |

I know this is a familiar refrain on RP, but this is definitely NOT the best song on the CD. Ironically, "The Secret Language of Birds, Pt. II" is IMHO the best song Anderson has recorded in the past 18 years, whereas this is kind of a dull and listless version of the same. Maybe I'll upload it....

This song reminds me of the jazz flute scene from Anchor Man...in a bad way.

First time hearing this-wasn't aware of this solo album. Will take a few more listens but I like it so far.

Master composer, full showman, musical genius.
Even though a bit subdued, his solo albums still show his talent.

This track was first introduced on the Jethro Tull Album Jtull.com. This is a different mix but still very pretty. I haven't looked at the comments on this song yet but my personal thoughts are that there is no such thing as a bad Ian anderson song, Jethro Tull or not

Ok, so it's not my favorite tune on RP. But once again, variety is good. The local Clear Channel station plays no Tull/Ian Anderson except Aqualung, which they usually play 2-3 times during an eight hour work day.

Oof. This one really downgrades as it goes along. I started it at 4. Then knocked it to 3, 2, finally just gave up and put it at 1.

If this brings anything to mind... its a man who left his band to do opening themes for 80s sitcoms...
(and no, i'm not saying thats what he did, what i think he did, or what he might have considered doing)

No getting stoned will not make this song sound better. :P
