Talk Tull to Me - a weekly Jethro Tull deep dive

Just what is Salamander doing on this album? Despite having only two stanzas, it's nearly three minutes long. An amphibious mystery, to be sure. But we'll get down to the bottom of it. Or at least halfway there. A quarter? 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 next chapter in Ray's story. His taste of fame brings on some unsavory characteristics, as is wont for any man, woman, or child. Fame is a fickle and heartless beast, that'll crush you beneath its motorcycle boots without a second thought... 9th studio album - Too Old To Rock'n'Roll: Too Young To Die Get your Talk Tull To Me merch here !

The start of the story of Ray Lomas. The overture to a greater story to be told over the coming weeks. A new album, a new bassist, a new outlook on Tull. 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 nerdgasm of scientific proportions, and an oh-so-lovely melodic getaway into a verdant forest of Dee's strings. A great way to wrap up Minstrel and cleanse out pallets in anticipation of a brand new album next week!

Ah, a sweet summer fling when you've your whole life ahead of you, and nothing is more important than the last 24 hours you spent with a beautiful gal on the beach. It's important to you, anyway. But is it to her? 8th studio album - Minstrel in the Gallery Get your Talk Tull To Me merch here ! Talk Tull To Me Patreon & schedule .

A festive flute ditty. A glimpse into Christmas future, listening to a song from 2003, while we're still listening to albums from the 70s. But the expertise of the musicians shines through like fresh snow on a moon-lit evening. 21st studio album - The Jethro Tull Christmas Album Get your Talk Tull To Me merch here !

A song of confusing imagery, musing upon muses in a mews, and some rather depressing characters. Omen seems to have a handle on it, though, don't worry. He'll guide us, mostly successfully, through this landscape of unclear poetics. 8th studio album - Minstrel in the Gallery Get your Talk Tull To Me merch here ! Talk Tull To Me Patreon & schedule .

Someone get Ian a tissue and give him a hug! A lugubrious lament of a song that leaves you pretty darn bummed. Hopefully it was a cathartic experience for Ian to perform, and you to hear!

A dance-tastic, thirsty specimen of a song. Unrequited, unknowing love for one's lead dancer may be one of the worst levels of Hell, at least seemingly according to Ian in this song... 8th studio album - Minstrel in the Gallery Get your Talk Tull To Me merch here !

A raw, poetic, fantasy. A snowy, desolate, rocker. Is there a connection to Immigrant Song? Who can tell. But, we love it all the same! A definite favorite. 8th studio album - Minstrel in the Gallery Get your Talk Tull To Me merch here ! Talk Tull To Me Patreon & schedule .

We, the minstrels, in the gallery of your ears, perform a Tullcheological dissection of what it means to be the one who looks out from the stage, to provide entertainment for all you fine folks. 8th studio album - Minstrel in the Gallery Get your Talk Tull To Me merch here !

Our last bonus track off of War Child - can you believe it?! It's a pleasant surprise, and quite the bop. What better way to end a truly fantastic album than having Ian tell us to go out and enjoy life, eh? 7th studio album - War Child Get your Talk Tull To Me merch here !

A sequel? A reprise? Is it even a different song? Will the Momes survive this heated debate? This and more, when you listen to the penultimate episode of TTTM's Warchild run.

Your conscience? Jewish/Catholic guilt? Just your godmother hovering over your shoulder? We'll probably never know.

A promising intro, but it's not Paradise Steakhouse or Glory Row... this song jumps in seemingly right in the middle, and we never quite catch our footing.

A etymology-laced journey through the potential of celebrity, and the attainment of fame. What is worth the sacrifice? And what is your definition of fame to begin with?

A bright and colorful trip about what it means to compartmentalize oneself for celebrity, or at least having a public persona. Kinda makes ya feel for ol' Ian.

What is going on here? Despite Tull being a notoriously drug-free band, this ... this song... Bad acid trip? Good acid trip? Pure, manic, bananas farcical genius, at least. What can be said about this bonkers ditty? 7th studio - War Child Get your Talk Tull To Me merch here ! Talk Tull To Me Patreon & schedule .

A dirty, grungy, late-night diner of a song. A nasty little flute lick, a filthy bass drone, and Martin's sickening guitar. Plus sex and the devil. So good! 7th studio album - War Child Get your Talk Tull To Me merch here ! Talk Tull To Me Patreon & schedule .

Three just absolutely gorgeous instrumentals, all in one ep! Prepare for Nik to gush for about an hour. And Omen to politely accept it, while passive-aggressively belittling him the whole time. Man, isn't it great having a best friend of 20 years? 7th studio album - War Child Get your Talk Tull To Me merch here ! Talk Tull To Me Patreon & schedule .

The end credits to the Warchild movie. This one smacks a little different than what we've heard on the album thus far, and we can't quit put our dirty fingers on it. But a bright, bouncer for the end of the album for sure. 7th studio album - War Child Get your Talk Tull To Me merch here ! Talk Tull To Me Patreon & schedule .

The happy ending to our movie. The wrap-up, culmination of our heroine in her journey through the afterlife. Not to mention it's just a straight up jaunty ditty.

We bungle our way through the animal side of things. A relatively thinly-veiled story to tell everyone to just give into their animalistic natures! 7th studio album - War Child Get your Talk Tull To Me merch here ! Talk Tull To Me Patreon & schedule .

One of Ian's first big commentaries on the changing environment and it's long-term effects on our lives. Not to mention our responsibility to do something about it, since we did it in the first place! All couched in a delightfully light little ditty. 7th studio album - War Child Get your Talk Tull To Me merch here ! Talk Tull To Me Patreon & schedule . Art credit: Burton Silverman Music credit...
