Stormwatch

Product Information

here does not need to be instantly dismissed. This is probably the final truly important Jethro Tull

Like the majority of this series of book-bound Tull reissues, Wilson has done a fine job polishing up Stormwatch, highlighting previously obscured facets and generally giving it a broader soundscape, allowing it to sound particularly ace through headphones. I was concerned that Wilson's remix might impact the lovely sound design, but thankfully he has leaned in to it, and even improved on it here and there. Not only did Stormwatch mark the end of Jethro Tull’s seventies output, but it also concluded their so-called “folk trilogy”. Unlike the first two installments, Songs From The Wood and Heavy Horses, which contained light-hearted, pleasant tunes, Stormwatch is quite dark-in fact, it’s arguably the band’s most somber album. Doleful songs of nostalgia, longing and lamentation find themselves in the place of jolly, pleasant ditties about mice reading books and running on treadmills, causing the album to sound much more serious than it’s precursors. The next choice was Martin Barre, who had seen the band perform at Sunbury [44] and had auditioned for guitarist at the same time as Iommi. Barre arranged a second audition, and Anderson showed him new songs in a different style from the blues they had been recording. Anderson was impressed by Barre's technique and offered him the job. [45] Barre played his first gig with Jethro Tull on 30 December 1968 at the Winter Gardens, Penzance.
