Jethro Tull,
By Dave (Herne Bay, Kent) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Jethro Tull (Pocket Essentials) (Paperback)
This is a book promising great things for the seasoned Jethro Tull fan but doesn't really come up with the goods as it falls into the author's own opinion far too much rather than explaining source, inspiration and links with each of the Jethro Tull songs. Explanations of every song are included in terms of whether they're fast, slow or their instrumentation. For instance Black Satin Dancer is 'a bit too long' but no information about possible motive for writing the song is given.The one line 'album trivia' at the end of each recording is welcome as are the few anectdotes scattered throughout the book, but these are in rare supply. Of course the author's assertions of which albums are the best are sure to be areas of discussion, but 5/5 for A little Light music? An interesting book - quite cheap so probably worth the price of a magazine although paper quality on mine was hardly outstanding.
