SONGS FROM THE WOOD

This is the folk side of Jethro Tull at its best. It is usually happy and energetic in most of the album. It focuses on acoustic guitar, flute, and vocal melodies (good melodies!). Do not expect much rock in this album (Except for the rocking 'Hunting Girl' which is the highlight of the album for me). The title track is another highlight. The acapella vocal introduction is very memorable, and melodically and musically, this little song really shines. Most of the other songs of the album follows the style of the title track, resulting in a short, but sweet album to play on a relaxed mood. Not to forget, the production of this album is very well done.
