Jethro Tull - Heavy Horses/Songs From The Wood, Aug 13 2011
By Gentlegiantprog "Kingcrimsonprog" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Heavy Horses/Songs From The Wood (Audio CD)
This compilation features the remastered, bonus track containing versions of Jethro Tull's 1977 album Songs From The Wood and 1978 album Heavy Horses, both of which are essential listening for Jethro Tull fans.The albums saw the band incorporate more folk and acoustic sounds into their excellent and unique brand of progressive rock and use rustic themes musically and especially lyrically, on the subject of the Countryside, British Folklore and the differences between the olden days and the modern age.
While the albums contain a lot of pastoral acoustic moments and are largely defined by their folk influences; there is a fair amount of harder rocking moments, such as the eight minute long, double kick filled `Heavy Horses,' or `High Born Hunting Girl,' and some very progressive moments such as the Gentle Giant sounding `Songs From The Wood,' or the complex `And The Mouse Police Never Sleeps.'
As with the majority of the band's excellent musical output in the 1970s, the records contain a mixture of big riffs that sound like no one else ever, impressive guitar solos and keyboard work as well as the definitive inclusion of flute delivered in an utterly incomparable style that make the band what they are.
If you like progressive or classic rock and want to get into Jethro Tull then this is a superb set to try out (although only representative of one of the band's many eras), and if you are an existing Tull fan these two albums are an absolute must have.

Brilliant Tull... Brilliant Bargain, April 10 2012
By Michael Neiss - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Heavy Horses/Songs From The Wood (Audio CD)
Stereotypes exist for a reason and a two for one repackaging of Jethro Tull's sadly neglected late 1970's releases Songs From The Wood and Heavy Horses provides innumerable ways to experience Ian Anderson's Jethro Tull as we always suspected they occupied themselves when not on tour - as middle earth nomes ensconced in some deep, dark Arthurian forest.Close your eyes and let 17th century England unfold like period master Sir. John Suckling's most sprawling, overwrought poetry or, for everyone else who has been spared a reading of the aptly named Mr. Suckling, consider a lost reservation evening at Medieval Times right outside of Cleveland replete with mall-rat forest fairies, day-rate nobility, OSHA approved jousting, minimum wage wenching and, to help wipe away all of the debauchery - unlimited wet naps.
Six years into their Aqualung propelled arena rock, bong water reign that saw increasingly tedious 120 minute recreations of their single cut, concept album extravaganzas like Thick As A Brick begin to dim their concert attendance, Songs From The Wood and Heavy Horses brought a refreshingly compact collection of acoustic-based material into the band's repertoire, celebrating the return to simple country living recently embraced by Tull's enigmatic front-man, Ian Anderson.
Considering the price, the re-mastering is sublime and album art surprising complete. If you are in need of signature guitar solos on every cut, Tull's florid use of the harpsichord and heavy reliance on Baroque-inspired instrumentation may make this two-fer unsatisfying. For me, however, these records represent pure Tull at the height of their powers.

A Major Bargain, Nov 27 2011
By The Gent "May God Bless You : )" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Heavy Horses/Songs From The Wood (Audio CD)
This disc is a major bargain for those who do not have these discs already. Two of the folk trilogy that Ian and the lads put out. I would recommend purchasing this and "Stormwatch" (the third member of the folk trilogy) together. If you do not have "Minstrel in the Gallery" I would add it as a trio rather than "Warchild". The four albums compliment each other very well.
Listmania!
