Robin Hood Soundtrack

With the acoustic largely arrangements and the medieval folklore influences to the songs of this album, Jethro Tull wanted to position itself obviously new and Richtunsgwechsel take. From an artistic perspective, this is also fully succeeded.

Songs From The Wood is a light - even if not easily accessible - album that takes a bit of time until it ignites, it does but the more and that would actually make excellent soundtrack for a Robin Hood film.

The title track opens with first class choral singing and pierced with time inexorably into your ears, as well as also at Jack In The Green ', the right rock, Hunting Girl' and, Velvet Green 'is the case.

The catchiest piece here is the replacement Christmas song, Ring Out Solstice Bells', which has a lot to offer rhythmically and to fascinate with its coming from behind Chorus white.

Merely the only long piece (, Pibroch '), most likely reminiscent of prog that can not entirely convincing here, but you will but by the drying Bonus track, Beltane' more than makes up.

A wonderful album that presses despite its airy and often acoustic instrumentation and has to offer really great songs. Too bad that this album should be the best for many years for many that the group has made to Ian Anderson. , Heavy Horses' was still quite good, but also did not reach the originality of this plate.

For those who want to Jethro Tull but get to know off the big hits, this is a super supplement or even an alternative entry into the musical world of this really unique band.
