Yes, and I love how "Mother Goose" was reworked, with its Scottish folk themes ... I kinda sorta 'stumbled' on this CD a few weeks ago and since then its been playing nonstop in my vehicle.
Tull is one of my all time favorite bands, there is a tremendous body of work out there from them over the decades, plenty of it I've not yet heard, but whenever I do hear a 'new' thing from Tull, it is always charmingly melodic and interesting :)
Just for the record, my first *big* concert was Tull in 1973, "A Passion Play" tour ... man, they were on top of the world back then, its just too bad that Passion Play got slagged so badly in the press, I generally cherish that album.
Well, the first song is about Aqualung, a decrepit, degenerate ne’er do well.
Then, later, we hear “My God”, a song about redemption and restitution.
Co-inky-dink?
I don’t think so...
The CD I have has the original 13 tracks, plus an additional 6 or so. It’s not an anniversary edition, so I’m not sure why they put more on.
