Title: A Solid Tull Album
Review: Stormwatch seems to fly under the radar of most Tull fans. When I am in the mood for Tull, I often reach for other disks before I would grab Stormwatch. I am not sure why that is, Stormwatch is a very good album, the last of the 70's era Tull. The instrumentals on Stormwatch, Warm Sporran and Elegy, are fantastic! And the song Dark Ages is worth the price of the disk alone! I guess there just isn't anything that makes Stormwatch stand out like other Tull disks. If you are a Tull fan you have to own this one, if for nothing else that to hear John Glascock's last songs, and to hear Ian Anderson fill in on bass for most of the disk. Plus this is really the last Tull album that came out before plunging headfirst into the Keyboard and Synth heavy 80's. Stormwatch features some great songwriting by Ian Anderson and Ian's voice is very strong here. Jethro Tull is an amazing band, and almost every album is worth investing time in.
