THE BEST OF ACOUSTIC JETHRO TULL

Baring a couple of missteps, this is an absolute treasure trove of Jethro Tull acoustic based songs culled from their respective studio albums. From Life's A Long Song to Wond' Ring Aloud to Skating Away to One White Duck/0 To The Tenth Power = Nothing At All to the mesmerizing Broardford Bazaar, nearly all are stellar. Included is the best song on the much maligned Under Wraps album, namely the sublime Under Wraps 2. What I find strange about this compilation is that I find myself wanting to immediately pull out whatever album that's just been sampled (save Under Wraps) and give it a proper spin. So, I'm not sure how beneficial this compilation would be to other Tull fanatics. However, just based on the quality of the songs the album is worthy of 4 stars. How necessary it is will be totally up to you.
