Product Description
CD Description
Whereas in the 1980s Jethro Tull had dabbled in heavy metaland modern rock, ROOTS TO BRANCHES hearkens back to the classic Tull sound. For one thing, there is a lot more flute onthis record, making it one of the band's more vintage-sounding offerings during their later era.
There's much spirited interplay between Martin Barre's power chords and lightning solos and Anderson's muscular flute. The inclusion of a slightly Middle Eastern-sounding synthesizer line on "Rare and Precious Chain", and the brisk rocker "Out of the Noise", a brisk rocker, adds colour and atmosphere. With orchestral-sounding backing and impassioned singing by Anderson, the slightly menacing "This Free Will" is reminiscent of the earlyTull's rock epics. The intro to "Valley" recalls the stop-start opening of the Tull chestnut "Nothing is Easy" before it unfolds into a mini-epic alternating between gently pastoral and fiercely electric sections. "Wounded Old and Treacherous" finds Anderson speak-singing over a jaunty piano, addressing issues of mortality. "At Last Forever" is a rarity forTull: a fairly straightforward love song, albeit with some characteristic flourishes, while "Another Harry's Bar" is oddly reminiscent of late-period Dire Straits.
