Steve Wilson Songs From The Wood remix

[Dave (in MA)]

If someone had played Old Aces Die Hard to me and asked from which album it was an outtake, I'd have said Too Old...

I could see that, actually. Or maybe even WarChild.

I would have said "Minstrel in the Galley" haha.

Just bought this (I know I know), it's very good, a really well put together collection. I'm liking the remix/remaster a lot, sounds great, the live material on CD & DVD are particularly excellent. Some of the bonus material, other than Old Aces Die Hard, are a bit superfluous. Overall very happy to have picked it up.

So I picked up a used copy (printed in 1973!) of Folklore, Myths, and Legends of Britain from a bookstore in Lancashire for £34 (with shipping). This was the book that inspired Ian to write this album.

(from Wiki):

Anderson was partly inspired by the book Folklore, Myths and Legends of Britain which was given to him by Jethro Tull's then manager Jo Lustig in 1976. According to Anderson, the book "certainly gave me thoughts about the elements of characters and stories that played out in my songwriting on the Songs From the Wood album, which then carried on over to the Heavy Horses album and even beyond that into the Stormwatch album."[4]

It's pretty detailed, a real monster! Looks great, can't wait to dig in.

You got that for a great price! It's long out of print and is extremely difficult to find. Carve out a few hours and put Songs From the Wood on the HiFi while you delve into this book and escape the vicissitudes of life for awhile.
