Songs From the Wood

Jethro Tull

A lush, flute-heavy celebration of British folklore. Intricate vocal harmonies meet heavy guitar riffs in a forest-thick production of pagan prog-folk.

It's like a prog-rock Renaissance fair but with actually good riffs and way more flute.

A playful and mystical celebration of rural life and ancient folklore.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The complex a cappella vocal introduction of the title track setting a madrigal tone.
Martin Barre's guitar mimicking the drone and skirl of bagpipes on Pibroch.
The joyful, syncopated handclaps and sleigh bells driving the rhythm of Solstice Bells.
