boy, oh boy, are you in for an adventure more to come. This is just the tip of the iceberg. Ian Anderson was the greatest ROCK PERFORMER OF ALL TIME! No one else is remotely close to his excellence and versatility and showmanship
Songs From the Wood is my favorite Jethro Tull Album. Title track...amazing. I never get tired of hearing the beginning of Hunting Girl! So intricate. So original. So tasty. A brilliant song, and a brilliant album! Don't forget Velvet Green. Another amazing song.
Great reaction. Great quirky song with amazing drumming from the vastly underated Barrimore Barlow. Please check the live version of Thick as Brick. Live MSG 1978. It is one of the best live performances you will ever see.
The drumming on this creates the sense of riding a horse racingll on the hunt-just another of Barriemore Barlow’s ways of doing what is needed for the song production. He is my favorite of all the Tull drummers and I got to see him 10 times in concert
My all time favorite band , I have been following them since about 1973 I have seen them 6 times so far and The Songs From The Wood tour is by far my favorite, I will be seeing them again with a good friend Sept 27 at the Greek Theater in L.A
This is my favorite Tull lineup. The following year they recorded Heavy Horses AND Live Bursting Out. And yes this song is on that live album. The entire live album is amazing ! And Hunting Girl is a standout track on that live set.
Talking dirty without talking dirty, LOL. This shows INTELLIGENCE, perhaps Ian Anderson's most important attribute, besides the usual excellence in terms of musicianship and production
Unreal Tapestry of influences . From Renaissance to Baroque to NeoClassical to Jazz/Blues , there's plenty on the Menu to satisfy anyone's musical appetites .
Great song for a drummer to hear I would think! We used to call this hard rock or progressive rock back in the day (not prog rock). Don't forget to mention the ever present humor. "Boot leather flashing with spurnecks the size of my thumb, this highborn hunter had tastes as strange as they come...coooome!"
IT CAME SO FAST AT YOU THAT YOUR REACTION WAS PRICELESSSSS! 😊THE MORE THE TEMPO PICKED UP, AS SOON AS BARRIEMORE CAME IN WITH THOSE DRUMS YOU WERE SMILINGGG! 😊
you keys mention, you might be thinkin of a portative organ. I believe they built a small one for the road. Later in shows they put a crank on it and suggested it used steam power. Har de har.
Some Scandinavian metal band has covered this, and it sounds really great. It's on youtube somewhere. Btw "The Third Hoorah" by Jethro Tull is in the same league. Definitely try it some time.
Some people say that John Bonham of Led Zeppelin is the best drummer of all time. Bonham said it was Jethro Tull's Barriemore Barlow. Another sick metal song by Tull that has great drums is Dark Ages.
Danny Carey has credited Jethro Tull's album 'A Passion Play' and Barriemore Barlow's drumming for inspiring him to become a drummer. Barlow is a complete legend. You listen to this song and feel branches hitting you in the face as you race through the forest. Beautiful insanity.
That's Barriemore Barlowe on drums. He's a talent that doesn't come along too often. Led Zeppelin's John Bonham called him Britain's greatest drummer. I was lucky enough to have seen him with the band a few times. I was disheartened when he and the band parted ways...I think he was fired but that was a long time ago and I'm too lazy to google it. Anyway, he performed one of the best drum solos I've ever seen. And to play the way he does, very rhythmically in those really crazy difficult parts that Ian Anderson threw his way was just amazing!
He voluntarily quit after the Stormwatch tour (1979), upset over the death of bassist John Glascock, who died after heart surgery, and with whom he was best friends.. Some accounts have said he disagreed with the way Ian handled Glascock's death. Other accounts said he was tired of the grind of touring/recording nonstop since he took over drums from Clive Bunker in 1971-2. Regardless of the reasons, his departure opened the proverbial floodgates and soon both keyboardists (John Evans and Dee Palmer) followed suit as well (though Palmer may have been fired). Tull would carry on with Anderson and guitarist Martin Barre for the next 20-30 years with various sidemen, but it was never the same.
Jethro Tull is the name of the band not the guy on the cover. The singer/flute player is Ian Amderson. This is one of my favorite Tull albums. You should give the album a listen. By the way, the drummer, Barrymore Barlow is an amazing underrated drummer. His technique is beautiful, sophisticated and executed with precision.
YOU WERE JUST ROCKIN WITH PURE HAPPINESS AND JOYYYYYY CHOD, AND THAT'SSSS WHAT GREAT TULL COULD AND WOULD DO TO YOU!!! 😊( IAN ANDERSON ) PURE MUSICAL GENIUS AND VIRTUOSO! 😊
One of the most incredible bands ever, and they shouldn't be pinned down to a particular genre. They are just Jethro Tull. When the rock world zigged, they zagged.
This is my favorite Tull song. In the late 90's I saw Tull and Emerson, Lake, and Palmer at the Riverplex in Pittsburgh. My friend(who's favorite band is Tull) asked me, on the way to the show, what song I wanted Tull to play. I said Hunting Girl. He said, "Dude, they're never going to play Hunting Girl." By god, they played it and it was glorious. BTW, Greg Lake is a badass. I suggest you check out ELP.
Great duo for a live show. Epic stuff. I have been fortunate to have seen Tull live 13 times over a four decade period of time and E.L.P. 5 times but never in the same venue. My God, that would be the shit.
Tull was my fave in my youth. I'm an 80s kid, so they were already out of my time as most of the "hits" come from the 70s. I was probably the only kid listening to them back then.
One of the things I think made a lot of bands sound different back in the day was that they would have a snare that actually rattled, unlike today when everything is tightened up to give an almost characterless 'thud' JT aren't my favourite band, but I can easily put together a list of 20 or 30 tunes from them that I love, since a friend introduced them to me with a 90min tape cassette back in the 80s, which I asked him to make heavily accented towards their acoustic side having heard one that I liked straight away, He threw in a tape of this album (Songs From The Wood) for good measure.
It is a souped up Elizabeathan dance tune. The drummer is sounding like a team of Celtic Bodran players plus aa tamboreen. Singing style is Scotish folk , Wa`hey
Kind of like me the first time I heard this amazing song... I was so knocked out by the instrumentals, that it took me a long time to figure out I was listening to a song about Victorian BDSM.
ANOTHERRRR GREAT AWESOME TULL PRODUCTION, AND A SIMPLY INCREDIBLE ALBUM ( SONGS FROM THE WOOD ) CHOD!!! 😊 TITLE TRACK, THE WHISTLER, THERE'S NO JETHRO CHOD, IT'S ( IAN ANDERSON ) 😊 AND HIS BAND! AND THAT INSANE FLUTE AND ALLLLLL OF IT.
This is one of the best tunes on one of their best albums. It seems like from Aqualung and on their sound had less blues/rock, and more medieval/folk influence, but still some rock. Check out an earlier tune, called 'Sossity you're a Woman'. My personal favorite. Oh, my favorite JT album, though, is 'A Passion Play'. The drummer is Barriemore Barlow- an amazing drummer! But everyone probably knows that.
Originality is their calling card. Every song is a journey that keeps you on your toes and peaks your interest. The music is so atypical yet it's still so melodically pleasing and filled with the hooks that more commercial music usually has. Songs From the Wood, A Passion Play and Minstrel in the Gallery in particular are favorites. Ear pleasing progressive masterpieces.
Do you remember a couple of years ago when you reacted to another song from this album- 'Velvet Green', and you weren't overwhelmed? I'm glad you have had better reactions from them, since. This one was great!
YOU KNOW NEIL PEART ( RUSH ) LOVED TULL AND ( BARRIEMORE BARLOW ) , HE TALKED ABOUT IT IN AN INTERVIEW BEFORE 😊 HE REALLY LIKED THE PROGGINESS OF TULL AND IT DIDN'T GET ANYYYYY BETTER THAN TULL WHEN IT CAME TO PROG ROCK CHOD! 😊
My friend you haven't even scratched the surface of Jethro Tull yet. I know someone is going to suggest listening to "Thick as a Brick" live, but if you do, pick the one that's from Tampa stadium in 1976. It's really the best sounding recording of them performing, and will give you a visual of the band which will take them to another level, when you see that. Truthfully this band back in 1970 through about 1980 was the best band in the world. If you never saw them back and, you only heard the records. You might not believe that, but if you saw them, you would agree. There was no one as good, believe me, I've seen just about everybody and saw them back in the beginnings too, I'm getting pretty old. Tull And Pink Floyd, we're both very unique bands. No one else was really like, either Of them. When you left one of Their shows You felt like you had been to another planet or was nothing like either of those bands, but if I had to pick one of the two, it would be Jethro Tull. When you watch them live from Tampa Stadium, it'll give you and even better impression of them.
TULL STARTED AT THE SAME TIME AS ( DEEP PURPLE ) CHOD, 67 😊 BEEN MY TOP 3 ROCK BANDS OF ALLLLLLL TIME ALONG WITH ( NEIL YOUNG & ELTON JOHN ) 😊 FOR MORE THAN 40 YEARS NOW KEEP ENJOYINGGGG THIS AWESOME PROG ROCK BAND!
That drummer is Barrie Barlow, dude is criminally underrated. To my ears, he was kind of like a proto-Neil Peart. Technical but could bang when he wanted to.
This album and and Heavy Horses are two gems that got mad play from me. Also have fun discovering Stand Up, Aqualung, Minstrel In The Gallery, Warchild, and Passion Play. If you want sick drumming go after "Conundrum" on "Bursting Out" which is a live album.
Tull is so much better live than recorded...you should listen to all the songs, including this one from Bursting Out Live, which was the album that completely and singularly turned me onto Jethro Tull!!
We are in agreement. Hunting Girl is and had been my favorite song of all time since 1977. Is it a rock symphony. Tull is my favorite band. Barrimore Barlow is the best drummer on the planet. Ian Anderson is a genius. I am glad you have been turned onto real music. Music is supposed to take some thought. A lot of thought. Leave the rest behind. It's not worth your time.
So go to You Tube and check out any 1977 live Tull from the Songs from the Wood Tour and you’ll see Hunting Girl performed and it’s as good as the studio version only better because of Ian’s stage presence!
It sounds like you were so lost in the gorgeous music that you missed the fact that the lyrics are about all kinds of kinky stuff involving whips and leather. Maybe, kinks like that are so not-a-big-deal today but, back in the day this was pretty shocking. This was something you listened to in your room and never let your parents see the lyric sheet.
With the stuff from 77-79 you can't go wrong. 👌 You won't (of course) like all the same. But everybody who knows about music will find a lot "of pretty tunes" that are more like beautiful, real big paintings, than Songs. With "Songs from the wood" started an Episode, the Band members got more space, espacilly glascock (base) and barlowe (your drum-bro😉). Only a Suggestion, that was to much for "alpha-ian" in 1980 and leads to the break in developement. On Album "A" is Only Anderson and Barre with complete different rhytm Group and Keys. ... For me a change from "WHAT THE HELL" to "hey, sounds quite nice"
Jethro Tull is the name of the band, not a name of any person that's in the band. There isn't any 'Jethro" playing on the record. The proper abbreviated name is 'Tull'. Just sayin'
the great Barriemore Barlow on drums
boy, oh boy, are you in for an adventure more to come. This is just the tip of the iceberg. Ian Anderson was the greatest ROCK PERFORMER OF ALL TIME! No one else is remotely close to his excellence and versatility and showmanship
The drumming on this album is next level. Thank you Mr Barlow. 🥁🥁🔥
Barriemore Barlow...stunning
Songs From the Wood is my favorite Jethro Tull Album. Title track...amazing. I never get tired of hearing the beginning of Hunting Girl! So intricate. So original. So tasty. A brilliant song, and a brilliant album! Don't forget Velvet Green. Another amazing song.
This is a genually brilliant album, Chod. Worth a full listen thru... :) Have fun!
Great reaction. Great quirky song with amazing drumming from the vastly underated Barrimore Barlow. Please check the live version of Thick as Brick. Live MSG 1978. It is one of the best live performances you will ever see.

VERY Jethro Tull. Went to a Tull concert on my 1972 high school graduation night. (Before safe and sober) 😂
GREAT choice...no one else is doing this era Tull. Do Plibroch..
I was going say, "Pibroch (Cap in Hand)," definitely!
Talking dirty without talking dirty, LOL. This shows INTELLIGENCE, perhaps Ian Anderson's most important attribute, besides the usual excellence in terms of musicianship and production
Yes, Ian Anderson is a genius, and serious about his craft. A copy of the lyrics are needed when listening to Tull.
Barriemore was John Bohnams favorite drummer
Unreal Tapestry of influences .
From Renaissance to Baroque to NeoClassical to Jazz/Blues , there's plenty on the Menu to satisfy anyone's musical appetites .
Might want to throw in Martin Barre's incredible Rock guitar.
Great song for a drummer to hear I would think! We used to call this hard rock or progressive rock back in the day (not prog rock). Don't forget to mention the ever present humor. "Boot leather flashing with spurnecks the size of my thumb, this highborn hunter had tastes as strange as they come...coooome!"
THAT'S YOUR GUY CHOD , ( BARRIEMORE BARLOW ) PHENOMENAL PERCUSSIONIST NO QUESTION! 😊
Mr Barriemore Barlow on drums.
Tull was my favorite band back in the 70s. Still one of my favorites. Very large catalog to choose from, Chod. Enjoy!
IT CAME SO FAST AT YOU THAT YOUR REACTION WAS PRICELESSSSS! 😊THE MORE THE TEMPO PICKED UP, AS SOON AS BARRIEMORE CAME IN WITH THOSE DRUMS YOU WERE SMILINGGG! 😊
We never called them Jethro, we always called them Tull.
You are obviously a Tull fan because only the real ones know that it's............Tull. Rock On!!!!!
And the genius frontman is Ian Anderson
I saw Tull live three times. They never cease to amaze me.
Same!
you keys mention, you might be thinkin of a portative organ. I believe they built a small one for the road. Later in shows they put a crank on it and suggested it used steam power. Har de har.
Some Scandinavian metal band has covered this, and it sounds really great. It's on youtube somewhere. Btw "The Third Hoorah" by Jethro Tull is in the same league. Definitely try it some time.
John Bonham, Led zep called Barry Barlow britain's greatest drummer.
Probably paid by the drummers oustide of Britain.
This and Heavy Horses are my two favourite Tull albums.
It's a Hammond Organ,and Synths there are countless tonal changes you can get !! 🎹🎶
Some people say that John Bonham of Led Zeppelin is the best drummer of all time. Bonham said it was Jethro Tull's Barriemore Barlow.
Another sick metal song by Tull that has great drums is Dark Ages.

Anyway, he performed one of the best drum solos I've ever seen. And to play the way he does, very rhythmically in those really crazy difficult parts that Ian Anderson threw his way was just amazing!
No one should be surprised that Zeppelin tried to talk Tull down considering the rivalry between the two bands.
He voluntarily quit after the Stormwatch tour (1979), upset over the death of bassist John Glascock, who died after heart surgery, and with whom he was best friends.. Some accounts have said he disagreed with the way Ian handled Glascock's death.

Tull would carry on with Anderson and guitarist Martin Barre for the next 20-30 years with various sidemen, but it was never the same.
They are a musical visit to a Renaissance Faire!
Jethro Tull is the name of the band not the guy on the cover. The singer/flute player is Ian Amderson. This is one of my favorite Tull albums. You should give the album a listen. By the way, the drummer, Barrymore Barlow is an amazing underrated drummer. His technique is beautiful, sophisticated and executed with precision.
John Bonham said Barlow was the best drummer to come out of the UK… not underrated at all.
@@Rock_Snob That so underrating that it is insulting - Barlow is not the best drummer "out of the UK" but in the known universe.
@@NuntiusLegis he has my vote! I spent the entire concert watching Barrie.
YOU WERE JUST ROCKIN WITH PURE HAPPINESS AND JOYYYYYY CHOD, AND THAT'SSSS WHAT GREAT TULL COULD AND WOULD DO TO YOU!!! 😊( IAN ANDERSON ) PURE MUSICAL GENIUS AND VIRTUOSO! 😊
Can you believe this band is NOT in the Rock and Roll Hall of,Fame. What an injustice
...and Flava Flav is...What has this world come to?
One of the most incredible bands ever, and they shouldn't be pinned down to a particular genre. They are just Jethro Tull. When the rock world zigged, they zagged.
This is my favorite Tull song. In the late 90's I saw Tull and Emerson, Lake, and Palmer at the Riverplex in Pittsburgh.

I was at that concert. So awesome
Tull was my fave in my youth. I'm an 80s kid, so they were already out of my time as most of the "hits" come from the 70s. I was probably the only kid listening to them back then.
Jethro Till are a group of traveling minstrels! They carved out their own niche! They have their own sound and look with a huge underground fan base!
One of the things I think made a lot of bands sound different back in the day was that they would have a snare that actually rattled, unlike today when everything is tightened up to give an almost characterless 'thud'
JT aren't my favourite band, but I can easily put together a list of 20 or 30 tunes from them that I love, since a friend introduced them to me with a 90min tape cassette back in the 80s, which I asked him to make heavily accented towards their acoustic side having heard one that I liked straight away, He threw in a tape of this album (Songs From The Wood) for good measure.
Another deep cut, gotta love the Tull! This is what the world needs at the moment - prog English folk hard rock!
You really need to list to Bursting Out. One of the greatest live albums.
It is a souped up Elizabeathan dance tune.
The drummer is sounding like a team of Celtic Bodran players plus aa tamboreen.
Singing style is Scotish folk , Wa`hey
Great great song.
The live version on Bursting Out blows this one away.
Kind of like me the first time I heard this amazing song... I was so knocked out by the instrumentals, that it took me a long time to figure out I was listening to a song about Victorian BDSM.
ANOTHERRRR GREAT AWESOME TULL PRODUCTION, AND A SIMPLY INCREDIBLE ALBUM ( SONGS FROM THE WOOD ) CHOD!!! 😊 TITLE TRACK, THE WHISTLER, THERE'S NO JETHRO CHOD, IT'S ( IAN ANDERSON ) 😊 AND HIS BAND! AND THAT INSANE FLUTE AND ALLLLLL OF IT.
Portative pipe organ is the instrument...a very miniature version of those giant pipe organs used in cathedrals.
This is one of the best tunes on one of their best albums. It seems like from Aqualung and on their sound had less blues/rock, and more medieval/folk influence, but still some rock. Check out an earlier tune, called 'Sossity you're a Woman'. My personal favorite. Oh, my favorite JT album, though, is 'A Passion Play'. The drummer is Barriemore Barlow- an amazing drummer! But everyone probably knows that.
One more thing. JT's album, 'From Roots to Branches', is an album that gives the term, fantasy a new meaning. Mindblower! They have around 20 albums!
Originality is their calling card. Every song is a journey that keeps you on your toes and peaks your interest. The music is so atypical yet it's still so melodically pleasing and filled with the hooks that more commercial music usually has. Songs From the Wood, A Passion Play and Minstrel in the Gallery in particular are favorites. Ear pleasing progressive masterpieces.
Hey Chod. I just wanted to let you know that Jethro Tull is the name of the band. Tull (not Jethro) for short. Peace.
What a drumming in this piece
If you don’t call it Jethro Tull. Call them Tull not Jethro. Everyone calls them Tull. Just a FYI
Do you remember a couple of years ago when you reacted to another song from this album- 'Velvet Green', and you weren't overwhelmed? I'm glad you have had better reactions from them, since. This one was great!
Most underrated drummer in the world- Barriemore Barlow
YOU KNOW NEIL PEART ( RUSH ) LOVED TULL AND ( BARRIEMORE BARLOW ) , HE TALKED ABOUT IT IN AN INTERVIEW BEFORE 😊 HE REALLY LIKED THE PROGGINESS OF TULL AND IT DIDN'T GET ANYYYYY BETTER THAN TULL WHEN IT CAME TO PROG ROCK CHOD! 😊

There are 2 keyboard players on this. John Evan on piano & David Palmer on portative pipe organ & sythesisers.
☮️💙💙💙🔥🔥😎harpsichord
The live version from 2003 in Montreux is amazing!
Great wholesome music.
😂
GREAT GREAT AND A VERYYYY HAPPYYY ALBUM ( SONGS FROM THE WOOD ) CHOD 😊 TITLE TRACK OF COURSE, THE WHISTLER, SOLSTICE BELLS 😊
That drummer is Barrie Barlow, dude is criminally underrated. To my ears, he was kind of like a proto-Neil Peart. Technical but could bang when he wanted to.
This album and and Heavy Horses are two gems that got mad play from me. Also have fun discovering Stand Up, Aqualung, Minstrel In The Gallery, Warchild, and Passion Play. If you want sick drumming go after "Conundrum" on "Bursting Out" which is a live album.
Check out the performance of Ravi Shankar at the Monterey Pop Festival 1967. A generations first experience to world music.
My favorite album with "aqualung" and "A"!!!! You're right, JT is very, very, different from the others 70's bands!
Tull is so much better live than recorded...you should listen to all the songs, including this one from Bursting Out Live, which was the album that completely and singularly turned me onto Jethro Tull!!
We are in agreement. Hunting Girl is and had been my favorite song of all time since 1977. Is it a rock symphony. Tull is my favorite band. Barrimore Barlow is the best drummer on the planet. Ian Anderson is a genius. I am glad you have been turned onto real music. Music is supposed to take some thought. A lot of thought. Leave the rest behind. It's not worth your time.
If you don't know it , as a drummer you should enjoy No Lullaby from the Heavy Horses album, check it out !
So go to You Tube and check out any 1977 live Tull from the Songs from the Wood Tour and you’ll see Hunting Girl performed and it’s as good as the studio version only better because of Ian’s stage presence!
Got to make a suggestion - "A Sailor's Life" by Fairport Convention. Keep up the excellent work
I knew you were interested in drums, that's why l suggested this song way back before you started interrupting the songs.
This song reminds me of StoneHenge by Spinal Tap.
It sounds like you were so lost in the gorgeous music that you missed the fact that the lyrics are about all kinds of kinky stuff involving whips and leather. Maybe, kinks like that are so not-a-big-deal today but, back in the day this was pretty shocking. This was something you listened to in your room and never let your parents see the lyric sheet.
Yes there is a live performance but my video roll adx is out dated
Теперь ты просто обязан послушать главную песню с этого альбома Songs From The Wood. Там еще более ажурная и необычная музыка.
Here's a live version -> @10:44 ruclips.net/video/mQ7u2QnXOos/видео.html
With the stuff from 77-79 you can't go wrong. 👌
You won't (of course) like all the same. But everybody who knows about music will find a lot "of pretty tunes" that are more like beautiful, real big paintings, than Songs.
With "Songs from the wood" started an Episode, the Band members got more space, espacilly glascock (base) and barlowe (your drum-bro😉).
Only a Suggestion, that was to much for "alpha-ian" in 1980 and leads to the break in developement. On Album "A" is Only Anderson and Barre with complete different rhytm Group and Keys.
... For me a change from "WHAT THE HELL" to "hey, sounds quite nice"
Brother, please listen to the song Conundrum from the album, Bursting Out. Bariemore Barlow does a great solo on it.
Just in case: Jethro Tull is the name of the group
Dude listen to "Cold Wind to Valhalla", you'll pee your pants.
nobody calls them Jethro..They refer to them as TULL. Ian Anderson is the leader.
Not the best track on the album, but a fantastic album nonetheless!
Jethro Tull is the name of the band, not a name of any person that's in the band. There isn't any 'Jethro" playing on the record. The proper abbreviated name is 'Tull'. Just sayin'
I appreciate your reaction but please, please stop saying Jethro. It’s Jethro Tull or just Tull. Peace ☮️
Great album
