Talk Tull to Me - a weekly Jethro Tull deep dive

This month we discuss the official Tull tribute album - 1996's To Cry You a Song: A Collection of Tull Tales!

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This month we talk to Anglo correspondent, and resident holy man, John B! He offered his services to chat about the bible and ZG and all things holy bibly. We had a blast. It's a fantastic chat, and not one to miss.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We're going back to the solo albums this month. Picking up where we left off on the solo albums, but with an individual song this time!

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We discuss the beauty of this song (striiiiiiiings!!!), plus the problematic origins of the album itself. Sure to be a good old time.

Please forgive Omen's audio quality. You'd think that I'd be able to get him to record properly after 4 years. Alas, no. He's been thoroughly scolded, rest assured.

⁠This month we talk a folky, proggy tune - but it's not Tull! Oh no, this time we're talking about "Now Be Thankful" by Fairport Convention.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

⁠We've heard so many people say that they're first exposure to their favorite band came from the Columbia House Record Club. But what was really going on with that club? We discuss that in this month's Feckless!⁠

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Our first Feckless episode where we discuss, similar to standard Talk Tull To Me, the entirety of Ian Anderson's first solo album: Walk Into Light

Ian’s all about the romance this album. Not romance in the sense of candle-lit dinners and bouquets, mind you. But weird analogies and allusions to love and how much he needs his significant other. Kinda sweet, though, in its own way?

Another life on the road tune. The good, the bad, the crazy-making. You gotta hit the road to make that bread, but be sure to put in a call to you loved one when you get there.

Look ahead. Think about the future. Anticipate what's to come. And then straight-up run away from it! Good or bad, doesn't matter. Ian tells us what to do.

Get out there. Explore life. Experience it. Don't just live your life in a book. According to Omen, that is. Nik's still a square.

You’re in a noisy city you haven’t visited before. You can’t sleep. You hit the pub. You drink the hours away until you can barely keep your eyes open. You wake up and pay for it in the morning. Then you do the same thing over the following night in a different city. Life (and rocks) on the road.

Such a blue collar feel to this album. Ian is commiserating with the everyman. He is letting us know that he feels our pain, he knows what life is like. He used to save shillings to pay for heat, to then cook a can of stew on top of it. Or is this naughty, like Omen thinks, as usual?
