Free Music Notes for Best of Acoustic
Free Music Review: Thanks For the Memories, Ian
Hit: 5 Stars
After 40 years, we are not getting much in the way of new music anymore from Jethro Tull. (Maybe it's for the best.) So, I am left to pick up a remaster or compilation of some sort here or there. Like most of us in our 50's now, Ian Anderson and Jethro Tull's glory days are in the past. But, what a rich legacy of fine music they created!
This album is not a cheap, repackaged piece of tripe thrown hastily together by a record company to make a couple of bucks. Say what you might about Ian lying back and cashing in on rehashed stuff, but I think he does a masterful job on the reworkings of his music. In listening to this recording, you can feel his love and respect for, and pride in, his creations.
It might be weird, but I think what drew me into Jethro Tull back when I was a kid of 14, was Ian's quiet side. I was more interested in Sossity than Cross-Eyed Mary. Ian had a great gift of melody. I loved his acoustic guitar and all of the other strange and wonderful acoustic instruments he worked into his music. There was really no other band quite like them.
So, there are no real surprises here. I think most ardent fans have heard everything in one form or another. Highlights for me include Mother Goose, Skating Away..., Dun Ringill and Weathercock. To me though, musically, Velvet Green is at or near the top. It combines everything I love about acoustic Tull. It is a few moments of sheer beauty and brilliance. (Much like Rush's Limelight for me.)
This is very well done and the sound is superb. Highly recommended music from an extremely underrated musician and composer. Again, well done Ian and thanks for the memories.
