Talk Tull to Me - a weekly Jethro Tull deep dive

Despite being about one, this bass bouncing funky baby is not a slog to listen to! Ian's so very done with the commute; his cutesy train song days are behind him, at this point, as the song leads us to believe. 11th studio album - Heavy Horses Get your Talk Tull To Me merch here !

One of Nik's Top 5 Tull. Omen goes into this episode less than convinced of the song's beauty. But as we go through it, piece-by-piece, he forms a pupa of opinion and emerges on the other side as a beautiful moth with a new opinion! 11th studio album - Heavy Horses Get your Talk Tull To Me merch here !

A warning, an encouragement, a preparation - honest truths to a child, not to frighten, but to ensure they have the tools that it will take to survive! 11th studio album - Heavy Horses Get your Talk Tull To Me merch here !

A truly rockin' tune, not about love, or the act of making it, per se. More like impregnating the land with commerce! ...in a manner of speaking. You'll get it when you listen. Hope you like salmon!

Clearly a loving homage to the perfect little killing machine that a "domesticated" house cat is. With respect and reverence, Ian weaves a tale of Mistletoe, and cats overall.

A wonderful welcoming of Summer. A bright and magical dance about a bonfire. An embracing of mystery, and a celebration of the Sun.

A *very* special episode of Talk Tull To Me! Nik and Omen go fully-immersed and talk one of their all-time favorite tracks by a crackling fire and babbling brook. Probably don't need to say this at this point, but boy do we love this song. 10th studio album - Songs from the Wood Get your Talk Tull To Me merch here ! Talk Tull To Me Patreon & schedule .

Omen interprets it one way. Nik's deep-down tragic romanticism forces him to interpret another. Plus the SFTW version of Sleeping With the Dogs in Midwinter! 10th studio album - Songs from the Wood Get your Talk Tull To Me merch here ! Talk Tull To Me Patreon & schedule .

Ian's anthem! Also, Nik's wife makes a special debut, explaining how this song can appeal to someone who so adamantly dislikes Tull. C'mon, whistle along.

According to Omen, the second sexiest song off of the album. At least it's a little more romantic than Hunting Girl. It's a green encounter of the most seductive kind. 10th studio album - Songs from the Wood Get your Talk Tull To Me merch here ! Talk Tull To Me Patreon & schedule .

A failure of a commercial Christmas tune. But a good song all the same. I mean, it has to be good, right? It's on Songs from the Wood, after all. 10th studio album - Songs from the Wood Get your Talk Tull To Me merch here ! Talk Tull To Me Patreon & schedule .

A kinky, deep-woods romp of chance encounters. Leading to unexpected end results. But don't they all?

A joyous celebration of all things libation, no matter the time of the year! An ode to booze, perhaps? More likely overall good cheer? Whatever the occasion, raise your pint, your mug, your nipper, your hogshead, and toast! In bocca al lupo!

An homage to the little bits of magic in life that help nature survive, blossom, and grow.

We're not afraid to call this song, and dare we say it, the whole album, a MASTERPIECE!

A surprise treat for Omen! A jaunty tune that brings back our beloved(?) Sally! What would Ray Lomas do with Salamander if she hadn't stood him up? Well, it actually seems pretty wholesome, something of a surprise given our understanding of Ray, but maybe he's reformed!

More correspondence from our lovely Tull Skulls. And then what do we have here? An unclear Tull song? Oh yeah, back to normal.

One of Omen's Top 20 Tulls. Nik is less thrilled, but can Omen change his mind? Regardless, it's a truly lovely acoustic ditty showcasing Ian on his own. A must listen, at least once, if you've never heard it before. 9th studio album - Too Old To Rock'n'Roll: Too Young To Die Get your Talk Tull To Me merch here ! Talk Tull To Me Patreon & schedule .

The end of Ray Lomas. Not the end, you know, 'cause we already saw his "miraculous" resurrection. More like just the end of the album. But don't forget bonus tracks! 9th studio album - Too Old To Rock'n'Roll: Too Young To Die Get your Talk Tull To Me merch here ! Talk Tull To Me Patreon & schedule .

A wrap-up to Ray's story. A pretty tidy little closer. Too tidy. Too easy. At this point, did Tull give up on the overall story? Where's Ray's Act III?!

Finally, eight songs in, we reach the title track. The theme song for all washed-up rockers who still have spark of life left and want to prove it! Is it a final death throe of our dear Ray Lomas, or a swan's song? 9th studio album - Too Old To Rock'n'Roll: Too Young To Die Get your Talk Tull To Me merch here !

Ah, the good ol' days. Days gone by when you just bum around the beach for weeks on end, taking advantage of a 39+ woman who just needs a little company. The innocence and trivialities of youth!

Way to kick a dude when he's down. Just off the heels of the sad song that was Deadbeat, we get into more reason for poor Ray to be bummed. Ol' Salamander left 'im hanging in the wind, after he stole a cab for her and everything! 9th studio album - Too Old To Rock'n'Roll: Too Young To Die Get your Talk Tull To Me merch here !

A depressing dirge of a ditty. Ray is offered friendship and a Christmas Carol-like glimpse into the future. And he scoffs at it. Dismisses it wholeheartedly. At whose cost, though? 9th studio album - Too Old To Rock'n'Roll: Too Young To Die Get your Talk Tull To Me merch here ! Talk Tull To Me Patreon & schedule .

What seems to be something of a less-than-opaque tune still manages to offer some insight into the album as a whole. It builds on the story, tells us a little more about Ray as a person, and even confirms that Salamander is, in fact, another character in our Rock'n'Roll epic.
