2373 Jethro Tull - Bends Like a Willow

From: Dot Com; Year: 1999; Genre: Progressive Rock

I've been going over some of 'Tull's newer material, which I have to say is not of my favourite era, but still has a certain charm and I do like some of it. Anyway, this was one of the bigger singles on the record and is a pretty good track as well. This one was put together and arranged quite well; I love the overall 'soaring' feeling you get when listening to it.
Interestingly enough, if you don't count Ian Anderson's albums this was the last proper studio album released under the Jethro Tull name. Even though they have released quite a few live and other albums and Ian has released three solo albums, it is kind of sad to think that technically there hasn't been a proper new 'Tull album in 15 years.
