Jethro Tull – Songs From The Wood (Vinyl LP, 1977, Chrysalis CHR 1132, US Pressing)

Why This Record Matters
Songs From The Wood is Jethro Tull’s 1977 studio album and marked a pronounced turn toward British folk traditions within the band’s progressive-rock sound. Written and produced by Ian Anderson, it features Martin Barre, John Glascock, Barriemore Barlow, John Evan, and David Palmer across arrangements combining electric guitar, flute, mandolin, whistles, keyboards, and traditional-flavored instrumentation. The album includes “Jack-In-The-Green,” “The Whistler,” “Hunting Girl,” and the multipart-feeling centerpiece “Pibroch (Cap In Hand).”
