This 1991 album marks a return to Jethro Tulls blues roots. It is a much simpler album in terms of arrangements and was written using a guitar and mandolin without a keyboard in sight. The ideas here were to use instruments which came from nature itself. Mixed amongst the songs were lengthy epics like “White Innocence” the light hearted “Like a Tall Thin Girl” and the strange “Thinking Round Corners” the vocals of which indicated that Anderson had gone temporarily mad for three minutes. This is a welcome return to the bands roots.

Advantages: A strong, diverse album, probably with something for everybody. Disadvantages: One track departs just a bit too far from the reast of the album.
