Heavy Horses album Product Description



Heavy Horses album by Jethro Tull was released May 20, 2003 on the Chrysalis label. HEAVY HORSES brings together the best elements of Jethro Tull's sonic arsenal: heavy guitars, intricate, evolving song structures, folk tendencies, and Ian Anderson's inimitable growl. Heavy Horses songs The album opens with the bouncy "And the Mouse Police Never Sleeps," a fairy tale-like song about the adventures of a group of forest animals. "Acres Wild" features a disco-esque groove held down by funky drums and bass. The album's out-and-out highlight is the nearly eight-minute "No Lullaby," a song that undergoes the sort of musical metamorphoses present in Tull's best material. Another exceptional effort is the multi-textured title track, a song written as a tribute to the farm horses in England (which, at the time of the album's release, were declining in number). HEAVY HORSES is one of the band's most heartfelt efforts. All tracks have been digitally remastered. Recorded at Maison Rouge Studio, Fullham, London in January 1978. Jethro Tull: Ian Anderson (vocals, guitar, mandolin, flute); Martin Barre (guitar); John Evan (piano, organ); David Palmer (portative pipe organ, keyboards); John Glascock (bass); Barriemore Barlow (drums).   ...See Full Description

'Personal Favorite'
'Having listened to and enjoyed the poetry and music of Ian Anderson and Jethro Tull for many years,I've concluded that Heavy Horses is the very best example of the original 'Tull' sound.Notice how the music changed after this great 'swan song' album...It was never as good as this masterpiece!'

A Worthy Coda
First, a good follow up to Songs From the Wood. Secondly, and I'm sure someone will correct me if wrong, but I think it was B. Barlow's last Tull gig. So good a drummer that John Bonham called him the best in rock at the time. Good, memorable tunes and Mouse Police... with it's cough at the end (bookends Sababath's Sweet Leaf)is a killer tune.

Top Tull
A real tight and sometimes delightful collection of songs full of musical inventiveness. You get more music than you pay for on this album. One of my all time favourites.

Mouse police?
Merely in the interests of accuracy, the lead review refers to the opening track, ... And the Mouse Police Never Sleeps as being about furry animals in the forest? Most certainly not, it is about house cats and all the funnier for it. In fact the opening 2 tracks, the second being about Anderson's then home on the Isle of Skye, aka as the Winged Isle as mentioned in the lyrics,are likely the 2 best to open an album they've ever done. Even by his own formidable standards this album would be strongly recommended to fans of Ian Anderson's lyrics. Weathercock, in a whimsical sense about precisely that, is particularly beautiful. "Put us in touch with fair winds".P.S. Anderson is one of the worlds top feline philanthropists and usually has a few house cats going, naming a recent solo record after one of them. You should see the pictures of this cat posed on Ians shoulder as he plays the flute out in what appear to be grain fields.

My childhood remiscient
This Jethro's album is my favorite. It reminds my of my past days as a tinny child, dreaming of backwood scenes.
