The 1978 Jethro Tull album "Heavy Horses" fits seamlessly into a sequence of panels that host the finest rock music is already linked through the album cover, but above all by the music itself, to certain associations that the album tracks give a clear identity and pull the handset from the purchase of the CD in its spell. After the religious "Aqualung", the court "Minstrel in the Gallery" and the nature-loving "Songs from the Wood" laid the guys around Ian Anderson with "Heavy Horses" album a rustic, almost around the farm, towards. Even when viewing the album covers with 2 horses, the first rural images in the mind set firmly, which are then refined and expanded by hearing the Anderson's song Good. For Jethro Tull-ratios most compositions on "Heavy Horses" are knitted quite simple, making the disc for newly interested highly recommended. The majority of the pieces is orchestrated very folkloric, the few "purebred-rocking" passages are exceptions. The opening song "And the mouse police never sleeps" established initially with his cat-and-mouse-lyrics the peaceful country air atmosphere. "Acres Wild" is a catchy folk-rock song, remember the instrumental passages much of Irish dance music, while a bit too long guessed "No Lullaby" with wild drum intro and pretty rocking design initially will not quite fit into the picture, but in the end but convince white. The pure acoustic number "Moths" leads the listener back to the farm, the somewhat mysterious "Journeyman" provides the mood and some variety and to "Rover" shine the virtuoso instrumentalists of the band before with "One brown mouse" the clear catchiest song of the album resounds, which was simply arranges fantastic and multifaceted - pure euphony, a crystal-clear, timeless sound. The highlight of the album is clearly the title track, which offers with its exciting instrumental passages and poignant verses and choruses, and a fast-paced, quasi "galloping" another part over 8 minutes excellent folk-rock, the mood of the album by lyrics, melody and instrumentation the clearest embodies - the dreamlike imagination, as a human being with nature to live in harmony, to use them and enjoy, but above all, respect and appreciate. The musical realization of this idea the game is extremely well done. Not to be overlooked: the closing "Weathercock" - again "Farm-music". One should - as Jethro Tull newcomer - do not hesitate, "Heavy Horses" to get up and listen.
