Jethro Tull • The Best Of Acoustic

 

Review by Greg Prato
To some, Jethro Tull will always be associated with Ian Anderson's flute playing and more rocking, arena-worthy moments. But like Led Zeppelin, Tull was all about balancing their sonic mood swings; they could effortlessly transform between being loud & proud rock & rollers to more tranquil folksmen in the blink of an eye. The 2007 compilation, The Best of Acoustic Jethro Tull is self-explanatory, since the 24-track set focuses solely on the "unplugged" side of Tull. But some of Tull's finest moments were acoustic guitar-based, including such early classics as "Mother Goose," "Skating Away (On the Thin Ice of the New Day)," and "Fat Man" (here's a fun game to play: the next time you watch the movie Boogie Nights, try to spot the scene that uses the latter song). And while the never-ending title track from Thick as a Brick is primarily a rocking prog number, its intro is certainly one of Tull's finest acoustic moments, and is included here. However, The Best of Acoustic Jethro Tull isn't just about the early-'70s era, as it includes selections from all eras, including such forgotten or oft-overlooked tracks as "Jack in the Green," "Weathercock," and "One Brown Mouse." As an overview of Tull's acoustic side, The Best of Acoustic Jethro Tull thoroughly covers all the bases.

Reseña de Greg Prato
Para algunos, Jethro Tull siempre estará asociado con la flauta de Ian Anderson y con momentos más rockeros y dignos de ser vistos en la arena. Pero al igual que Led Zeppelin, Tull se trataba de equilibrar sus cambios de humor sónicos; podían pasar sin esfuerzo de ser ruidosos y orgullosos rockeros a gente más tranquila en un abrir y cerrar de ojos. La compilación de 2007, The Best of Acoustic Jethro Tull se explica por sí misma, ya que el conjunto de 24 pistas se centra únicamente en el lado "desconectado" de Tull. Pero algunos de los mejores momentos de Tull se basaron en la guitarra acústica, incluyendo clásicos de los primeros tiempos como "Mother Goose", "Skating Away (On the Thin Ice of the New Day)" y "Fat Man" (aquí tienes un juego divertido para jugar: la próxima vez que veas la película "Boogie Nights", intenta detectar la escena que utiliza esta última canción). Y aunque el interminable tema del título de "Thick as a Brick" es principalmente un número prog de rock, su introducción es sin duda uno de los mejores momentos acústicos de Tull, y se incluye aquí. Sin embargo, lo mejor de Jethro Tull no es sólo de principios de los 70, ya que incluye selecciones de todas las épocas, incluyendo temas olvidados o pasados por alto como "Jack in the Green", "Weathercock" y "One Brown Mouse". Como una visión general del lado acústico de Tull, Lo Mejor de la Acústica de Jethro Tull cubre a fondo todas las bases.
