Free Music Notes for Best of Acoustic
Free Music Review: Fantastic Acoustic Performances by JT
Hit: 5 Stars
Some bands, older bands that have been around a while and have an actual catalog to pick and choose from, often find themselves with material that suddenly comes into mainstream light. Not that JT is commercial, but the style of UNPLUGGED is and has been popular for quite some time...
I bought this CD due to a college roomate being such a JT fan, and thought it might be nice to get a JT for my collection.
This is a fantastic CD. The recordings are touched up and sound fantastic as they would be - due to Ian Anderson being as picky as Frank Zappa used to be... and they sound so crisp.
The flute, the masterful acoustic (and occasionally electric) playing of Martin Barre is fantastic, and the language I am using doesn't do it justice. I really feel that anyone could put this CD in and immediatly get the attention of anyone in the room. This is enjoyable, talent laden and worth every freakin penny.
Have fun,
Free Music Review: genuine and eccentric
Hit: 5 Stars
If you're looking for just the greatest hits, i.e. the most popular Tull songs on Classic Rock radio, you wouldn't go for this one first. But the acoustic side of Tull is an essential part of the Tull canon, and this collection represents an idea that has been decades overdue. The acoustic format allows for a combination of genuine expressiveness and Tull's patented eccentric creativity. That said, some of these great acoustic pieces are latter-day re-workings, and they tend to be inferior to the originals, interesting primarily to collectors. But many of these songs are the original tracks, beautifully remastered. So there's a lot here for the afficionados, and it's not a bad place to start for the curious.Free Music Review: Tull Revisited
Hit: 5 Stars
Being an avid Tull fan, my review is biased. I can tell you though, that being a Tull afficianado, I was very pleased with this CD. Not a commercial song on it! Accoustical it is, pleasant it is, but for those of you wanting to hear Aqualung...too bad. I personnally enjoyed each song chosen by Ian Anderson for this type of CD, however, some of the songs were mere snippetts of the real time version...I felt a little short changed on those. Overall...I cannot listen enough, great songs, great lyrics, and well over an hour of pure Tull acoustical enjoyment.
Free Music Review: Great Listening Jethro Tull
Hit: 5 Stars
Having been a long time fan going on 40 years, this CD was a special treat. All great songs. Anderson's Celtic theme is obvious. Haunting music, deep and complex lyrics but in a "soft and low" style. The guitar playing is one-of-a-kind. Quality written. For those who love Zappa, you now have your A(nderson) to Z. All the rest in the middle, just isn't the same.Free Music Review: My favorite side of Tull
Hit: 5 Stars
Being a devoted Jethro Tull fan for 30 ++ years, I have always been partial to acoustic Tull, and I believe in his pre-golden years, Ian is too!! The set list could not be better. I highly recommend this collection to anyone who knows there is more to Jethro Tull then Aqualung and Locomotive Breath!
