I just bought The Best Of Acoustic Jethro Tull today - a completely unnecessary addition to my rather extensive collection, but I wanted it dammit, and it was only eleven bucks.  Besides, how could *another* Tull CD on the shelf be anything but a good thing? It's actually a great listen, a chronological trip through - obviously - the more acoustic-based tracks. Nice for me, because as much as I love Ian's flute and voice, I especially love his acoustic guitar playing, always have. There were so many sides to Tull but the acoustic guitar always seemed to be nearby. Anyway, I rarely add redundant compilations to my collection (and JT have a ton of them) but I've been in such a huge Tull phase lately, I just had to have this nifty little set to pull off the shelf when the mood strikes. |

I have it on mymp3 player. It's pretty great as a playlist. It's like the only Tull album you could use as background music effectively, I think. Tull should make a release of the opposite nature. The heaviest Tull songs... But yeah, an awesome release. My cousin is 18 and he listens to it sometimes. |

Great post, Proggy! I, too, love acoustic Tull, and when I bought this I found it really flowed when played start to finish. Although I already knew all the songs, it got me almost as excited as if it were a "new" album. Plus the new version of "One Brown Mouse" is just beautiful. Sometimes a new compilation can bring older material into sharp focus  |

Yeah, even the best of Jethro Tull is a great collection of songs and a good representation of their music from across the years...

I wish they'd left off the "solo pieces" and put a few more Tull (e.g., Summerday Sands; March the Mad Scientist)...
