Jethro Tull: Songs From The Wood

LP Record The fan-favourite Songs From The Wood was considered the first part of the band's folk-rock trilogy (followed by Heavy Horses and Stormwatch). The album was recorded right after the tour for the previous album, Too Old to Rock 'n' Roll: Too Young to Die! (1976), and it showcased Anderson's desire to change the band's musical style. He had become familiar with the folk-rock scene and even produced music for it – in 1974, Anderson produced "Now We Are Six" for Steeleye Span. The album heralded a new direction for the band, focusing on celebrating British pagan folklore and country life in a broad folk-rock style that combined traditional instruments and melodies with hard rock drums and electric guitars.
