JETHRO TULL - THE STRING QUARTETS

Ian Anderson

Prog Folk

From Progarchives.com, the ultimate progressive rock music website

Did we really need this? Maybe; but then again, probably not. I was intrigued a little...just a little. So I bought the CD thinking that I can listen to a string quartet arrangement of some Tull classics without too much input from Mr Anderson...how wrong I was.

You would think that Ian would let the String Quartet do its own thing? But no; IA couldn't help himself and had to "stick his bib in" and do overdubs with flute (not so bad) and his recently (i.e. 1987!) acquired appalling vocals on 6 of the 12 tracks. Listen to me Ian..... "YOU DID NOT NEED TO OVERDUB YOUR VOCALS ON THIS RELEASE, IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE A STRING QUARTET ALBUM!!!!!!"

This release might have been a winner if Ando (baby) had abandoned the idea of overdubbing his horrific vocals......Steven Wilson to the rescue in 2057 with the 5.1 Surround Sound 5CD and 2DVD 40th Anniversary Auditorium Edition, minus vocal and flute overdubs!

After the track "Pass The Bottle" had finished, the only thing that came out of my mouth was the word "atrocious". Honestly!

The only really, really good thing on this CD is "Songs and Horses" ...brilliant! Oh, guess what? No vocals on that track!

2 stars out of 5.
