Free Music Review: Classic TULL - even if it does lean to the commercial side
Hit: 5 Stars

THE BAND: Ian Anderson (vocals, flute, acoustic guitar, sax), Martin Barre (electric & spanish guitars), Jeffrey Hammond (bass), John Evan (piano, organ, synth), Barriemore Barlow (drums & percussion).

THE DISC: (1974) 10 tracks clocking in at approximately 39 minutes. This (2002) digital remaster adds 7 bonus tracks coming in at just under 65 minutes. This is Tull's 8th album. Included with the disc is a booklet containing assorted pictures, song lyrics and thank you's. All songs written by Anderson - and his first producing an entire album himself. The back side of the album cover contains images of people (pertaining to the song titles) featuring band members & crew, girlfriends, and/or current wives, including Anderson's future wife (the circus ring leader near the sealion). Label - Chrysalis Records.

COMMENTS: This album is oddly sandwiched between two very heavy albums, "A Passion Play" (1973) and "Minstrel In The Gallery" (1975). "Warchild" is a much lighter release... almost whimsical... covering topics on society, religion and the music critics themselves ("Only Solitaire" allegedly aimed at L.A. Times rock music critic Robert Hilburn, who was one of Anderson's harsher critics). Songs take on a short and light (almost comical) approach; as compared to the deep and lengthy songs the listening public is used to hearing. "Warchild" was an album originally slated to be a movie soundtrack - it went onto reach #2 on the Billboard charts. "Bungle In The Jungle" would become Tull's biggest U.S. single. The longest song is "Back Door Angels" at a mere five-and-a-half minutes - a far cry from past albums containing only 1-2-3 songs on the entire album. The album starts off in great fashion with the title track... sound effects of a husband and wife talking and sipping tea, the husband walking outside only to be blasted by bombs and screaming sirens. The title track starts out slow, but rocks through a majority of it - my favorite on the disc. My 2nd favorite tune is the acoustic "Ladies", complete with hand claps, flute and orchestra arrangements. The prettiest song is the other acoustic track," Skating Away On The Thin Ice Of The New Day" (arguably one of the longer song titles in rock/progressive music). "The Third Hoorah" is an almost danceable melody and halfway through becomes a reprise of the title track. The only forgettable track in my opinion is "Sealion". Jethro Tull has been master of the long song; with "Warchild", Anderson & Co. put their best short songs together for a classic album (4.5 stars).

Anyone interested in the name "Jethro Tull"? Read on --

JETHRO TULL: An agriculturalist - Born in 1674 at Basilson, Berkshire; Died: 1741 at Hungerford, Berkshire. "Jethro Tull was a major pioneer in the modernization of agriculture. The son of a Berkshire farmer, he trained for a legal career, but financial problems compelled him to opt instead for farming. Determined to improve agricultural methods and increase yields, Tull experimented at Howberry farm, Crowmarsh, near Wallingford with a seed-drill which could sew three rows of seeds simultaneously. Later, he devised a horse-drawn hoe to clear away weeds. In 1731, Tull published his ideas about farming and plant nutrition in The New Horse Houghing Husbandry: or, an Essay on the Principles of Tillage and Vegetation'. Despite initial resistance to Tull's revolutionary ideas, they were eventually adopted by large landowners, and in time formed the basis of modern agriculture. Tull died at Prosperous Farm, near Hungerford on 21 February 1741." - source: Britannia Records
