Format:Audio CD
I wasn't sure about pre-ordering this double disc set. Firstly one of the discs ia a plain re-issue of the 2003 release "The Jethro Tull Christmas Album", which is good, but not great; too short on new material for me. Secondly disc No.2 is recorded during a cross between a JT acoustic concert and a carol service.
However, it is probably, to my ears the very best acoustic live concert that JT have ever done, sound is great, the vocal the best from Ian Anderson in many a year, despite his comment that he was suffering with some variety of Lurgy, and the playing by the band is, as ever, magnificent. Add in a sprinkle of readings, some nice choir and congregation carols, plus Ian Anderson doing a skilled job of being the host / MC and the whole ensemble makes a warm and uplifting Christmas treat.
Buy this, you will not be disappointed.

This is an excellent album for those looking for an alternative to the endlessly repeated christmas pop music.

Best Jethro Tull album for a long time and the way things are going perhaps the last with original material. The extra disc with the concert at St Brides is a pleasant listen and shows how well the tracks fit into a church environment. So much so I've parted with more money to attend such a concert in December!

A festive treat
I'm not a massive fan of Christmas records. Steeleye Span just about pull it off with WINTER, The Albion Band (and Albion Christmas Band) are mostly great. Read more

tull or 'not tull' - no matter - it's Ian Anderson
having previously bought the original Christmas album by Tull I was bemused when this re-issue came out with the same first disc. Why re-cycle the same cd? Read more
