Jethro Tull - The Jethro Tull Christmas Album [2003]
Ever since Songs From The Wood there has been something about the music of Jethro Tull that has more often than not felt akin to the moods and sentimentality of the winter holidays. In fact I have always wondered why a Jethro Tull Christmas Album hadn’t happened before now, although in retrospect I am thankful it didn’t. While I have always enjoyed Ian Anderson’s singing, even through some of the rougher moments of recent years, it has been reemerging again of late into the voice of old over the past couple years and with this release it can be safely stated that he has regained that voice back in full throttle and then some. And while the singing has never been better it’s equally matched by the skill of the musicians and the quality of the music, all of which is classic Tull dressed up in a Kris Kringle costume. Listening to this disc you can almost smell the pine and feel the warmth of a fire crackling while outside the snow gently covers the ground in a white blanket on the eve of that one particular December eve.
Do I rave because I’m a Jethro Tull fan and therefore apt to like whatever is released under that moniker?
