Jethro Tull : Witches Promise

[Pussywillow]

Re: Jethro Tull : Witches Promise

Taken from what I consider to be their best album 'Broadsword and the Beast', the only one I actually own apart from 'The Very Best of Jethro Tull' compilation.

We are in agreement on this. Well worth tracking down their other Lp's if you like the band. Ian Anderson's solos might also be of interest.

Yes I have seen JT in concert several times and they never disappointed. Ian Anderson's voice isn't what it was though.

But my favourite Tull song has to be 'Pussywillow' of course !

Seen Tull in concert more times than I can count. Favourite song hmmm difficult to chose, but Velvet Green has to be one of their greatest.

Re: Jethro Tull : Witches Promise

'Nothing to Say' was the first Tull song I heard on my ex brothers-in-laws Bumpers Island double LP circa 1970.

Re: Jethro Tull : Witches Promise

I've just ordered the album "Benefit" - I think it was called - which has the track "Witches promise" as a bonus track.
But the odd thing is that I can't find it on the track listings of their studio albums of the time.
Any Tullians that can explain this anomaly?

It's first appearence is on the album 'Living in the past', it was only released as a single originally.

Re: Jethro Tull : Witches Promise

I still like that song even though it was not "yer average TOTP" type tune. (Probably why I like it so much) Jethro standing on one leg, fluting it. Beautiful.
