Far and away the prettiest record Tull has released at least since Thick As a Brick and a special treat for anyone with a fondness for the group's more folk-oriented material. Anderson had moved to the countryside sometime earlier, and it showed in his choice of source material. The band's aggressive rock interplay and Anderson's fascination with early British folk melodies produce a particularly appealing collection of songs - the seriousness with which the group took this effort can be discerned by the album's unofficial "full" title on the original LP: "Jethro Tull With Kitchen Prose, Gutter Rhymes, and Divers Songs from the Wood." The group's sound was never more carefully balanced between acoustic folk and hard rock - the result is an album that sounds a great deal like the work of Tull's Chrysalis Records labelmates Steeleye Span (though Nigel Pegrum never attacked his cymbals - or his entire drum kit - with Barriemore Barlow's ferocity). The harmonizing on "Songs From the Wood" fulfills the promise shown in some of the singing on Thick As a Brick, and the delicacy of much of the rest, including "Ring Out, Solstice Bells" (where the group plays full out, but with wonderful elegance), "Hunting Girl," and "Velvet Green," set a new standard for the group's sound. "Pibroch (Cap In Hand)," which is dominated by Martin Barre's electric guitar-in a stunning array of overlapping flourishes at full volume-is the only concession to the group's usual hard rock rave-ups, and even it has some lovely singing to counterbalance the bulk of the song. Ian Anderson: vocals, flute, acoustic guitar, mandolin, whistles Martin Barre: electric guitar and lute John Evans: piano, organs, and synthesisers Barriemore Barlow: drums, marimba, glockenspiel, bells, nakers, and tabor John Glascock: bass guitar and vocals David Palmer: piano, synthesiser, and portative organ All songs produced and written by Ian Anderson Additional material by David Palmer and Martin Barre Arrangements by Jethro Tull (Jack-in-the-Green all instruments played by Ian Anderson)
