Great album

[@user-gb3in5wd1u]

I have often said that Tull are a Genre in themselves - so I think you're right there. Their classic label is Prog Rock - but this album is 1 of their 3(?) albums that are more 'Folksy', each of their many albums have a different sound/theme but are still uniquely Tull. When you said that "there is a lot going on sonically" - that is fairly standard for Tull. This group started late 60s and a version is still touring and making records over 50yrs late!! A great rabbit hole to dive in to if you have the time (they have a large and diverse catalogue).

[@kevinlundgren1169]

[@rayhutchinson640]

Renaissance fair Rock! You're the only reactor I've seen in 15 years who has reacted to this! Thanks, Brad!

[@Serai3]

It's also hobbit rock.

There are several other reactions on KZbin

[@GaryKirkham-ju8gw]

Wiki: "Drawing inspiration from English folklore and countryside living, the album [Songs From The Wood] signalled a resumption of the band's wide-ranging folk rock style which combined traditional instruments and melodies with hard rock drums, synthesisers and electric guitars ..." The style reminds me of that other folk rock band of the time, Steeleye Span, who are perhaps best known for their song "All Around My Hat" (1975). There was a British folk revival in the 1970's, and Ian Anderson was involved in the production of one of their albums ...

Bardcore? Love JT ❤

[@mainmac]

Jethro Tull is Modern Minstrel Rock, I can't think of a better way to describe it.

[@Serai3]

Genre? It's pagan rock. :) This album is filled with amazing songs. Do explore it!

[@jermaschinot]

not plants, but songs to heal your pain. why? cause he's a singer of these ageless times. have a drink, listen while reading the lyric. so beautiful it'll make you tear up!

[@dunringill1747]

Ian Anderson is a self-taught multi-instrumental genius. He surrounds himself with extremely talented band members. Primarily, Jethro Tull is a progressive rock band, but they draw from nearly every other genre of music. What genres you hear depends on the album in question.

[@HorizonMelt]

One of my favorite albums ever. I'd call it Edwardian 70's British Rock

[@jermaschinot]

let me leave you love from the fields, poppys red and roses filled with rain! Gutter rhyme is a self depricating remark about his humble attempts at lyrics.

Peter Pan - Love Tull

[@hannahsinister]

Ian Anderson is a pagan and that whole album is about his love of the natural world.

[@dunringill1747]

Anderson isn't a pagan. He describes his beliefs as a combination of Deism and Pantheism.

[@yesh3]

Arbor punk

[@HollowGolem]

There's some freaky stuff elsewhere on the album. "Velvet Green" and "Hunting Girl," specifically will let you know what Ian was into.

[@greenfalcon11]

If I'm not mistaken, Hunting Girl actually happened to John Glascock, the bass player and Ian Anderson wrote the song about it. Point taken though, Ian would write about anything.

[@HollowGolem]

@@greenfalcon11 Ahaha, that's awesome. But yeah, Tull (and anderson as a solo artist) has some horny-ass music. Man wrote a song about having sex with his ex-wife AFTER THE DIVORCE ("Black Satin Dancer"). THANK YOU FOR SHARING, ian!

[@greenfalcon11]

@@HollowGolem Is that really the subject matter of Black Satin Dancer?! I didn't know that! I've gotta go look those lyrics up again. Yeah Ian has a very clever way of "hiding" what he's saying, at times, but he's writing/singing about women and/or sex quite often...

[@HollowGolem]

@@greenfalcon11 Yeah, he said pretty much all of the _Minstrel_ album was his mindset post-divorce, and songs like that and "One White Duck" (which might be my favorite Tull song given the emotional context) are basically the most personal it seems like he ever got in his songwriting.

[@mattreynolds612]

What you know about his gutter? Fr I really like your and Lex’s reactions!

[@jima6545]

They were once called progressive rock and Ian Anderson took great offense at that. They wrote the album Tick as a Brick as a parody, and ended up with a classic progressive concept album

[@dunringill1747]

For the record - Ian describes Tull as primarily a progressive rock band. The album "Aqualung" was being labeled as a concept album which Ian denied. He then wrote "Thick as a Brick" as a parody concept album to show the difference.

[@jima6545]

@@dunringill1747 I stand corrected. Heard the story a long time ago
