Heavy Horses
Jethro Tull
Ian Anderson wrote these songs while living on a farm, resulting in a project focused on the traditions of the countryside. The title track serves as a tribute to the working horse, featuring folk arrangements that convey respect for the land.
Moving away from the complex epics of the past, the music highlights flute, violin, and acoustic guitar. The production creates an organic, warm feel that evokes the atmosphere of a crisp autumn morning.
