| She Said She Was a Dancer | 31 Jan 2023 | 01:08:58 | |
One of the sexiest songs yet! Just imagine Mr. Anderson in a smoky foreign bar, a seductive lady approaches and speaks to him in broken English.

| Jump Start | 24 Jan 2023 | 00:53:27 | |
A silly, sexy song. Another working man’s tune, but this one gives us a glimpse into the life after said working man clocks out for the day.

| Farm on the Freeway | 17 Jan 2023 | 00:47:31 | |
The hard-working farmer’s life is made all-the-harder on crummy land the Man wants to buy out from under you. When they do, what’s the farmer have left? A pickup truck to take him off away from his farm, and the freeway. 16th studio album - Crest of a Knave Get your Talk Tull To Me merch here! Talk Tull To Me Patreon & schedule.

| Steel Monkey | 10 Jan 2023 | 00:55:51 | |
A real working man’s song to start off the album. We gone from medieval farmer/hunter, to fisherman, to super spy, and now we land on a man who works the steel. Ian leans into the blue collar aspect of Tull with this one. And it’s not necessarily a bad thing. 16th studio album - Crest of a Knave Get your Talk Tull To Me merch here!

We’ve got ourselves a blast from the past this week. A Scottish Gaelic dirge written by none other than our favorite stringstress Dee Palmer!

| We Five Kings / A Winter Snowscape | 27 Dec 2022 | 00:45:51 | |
Another pair of instrumentals this week. The last of our tracks from the Christmas Album, in fact! We start out with a funky jam, as Tull is wont to do with Christmas tunes. But we wrap up with a really gorgeous, haunting piece. An introspective and lovely way to round out the year. 21st studio album - The Jethro Tull Christmas Album Get your Talk Tull To Me merch here!

| First Snow on Brooklyn | 20 Dec 2022 | 00:46:47 | |
An introspective, not-so-super-positive Christmas song. A nice change from the bright, everyone-has-to-always-be-happy-at-all-times tunes we’re normally fed at this time. It puts life into perspective a little bit more, maybe? 21st studio album - The Jethro Tull Christmas Album Get your Talk Tull To Me merch here! Talk Tull To Me Patreon & schedule.

| Pavane / Greensleeved | 13 Dec 2022 | 00:46:40 | |
Two classical-ish songs to begin our holiday festivities this season. One soft and sweet and slow and smooth. The other a funky, jazzy number that’ll get those feet tapping and the mistletoe a-flying. 21st studio album - The Jethro Tull Christmas Album Get your Talk Tull To Me merch here!

| General Crossing | 06 Dec 2022 | 01:00:08 | |
What. The hay. Okay, we’re thinking Cold War era, right? Is our Tall General a nuke? Is it the dude pushing the button (…out, button in) to launch the aforementioned missile? It doesn’t seem like it’s heavily veiled, this one, but it appears to be chock full of vague and perhaps dated references. We’ll do our best with this, the final track off of Under Wraps. 15th studio album - Under Wraps Get your Talk Tull To Me merch here! Talk Tull To Me Patreon & schedule.

| Automotive Engineering | 29 Nov 2022 | 01:00:48 | |
Ever on top of technology, Ian observes the state of the automotive industry. Where was it when he was a wee lad in the fens of Scotland? What were the trends then? And how has it evolved over the years, into the mid-80s? It’s all about the development of the science and engineering, baby.

“Hey Ian, yeah, we’ve got room for one more song on the album. Yeah, I know. Do you have another spy one? No? Okay. What about one about trains? Seriously, not even one? Nature? Huh, okay.

| Paparazzi | 15 Nov 2022 | 00:57:59 | |
It all comes to a head in this one song! It explains everything, all of the tracks that we’ve listened to on this album! Or does it? Okay, maybe not. But I can really dig the big reveal in this song, that tells us a little about Ian’s mindset. If you gotta deal with opportunistic invasive parasites like the paparazzi, you might as well have a little fun while doing it, right? 15th studio album - Under Wraps Get your Talk Tull To Me merch here!

| Heat | 08 Nov 2022 | 00:49:46 | |
Things haven’t gone well for our hero. He’s gotta scarper, and fast-like. It appears that he doesn’t have a whole lot of time for goodbyes, he’s gotta get gone, beat feet before his spot’s blown up - possibly quite literally. Is he addressing an adversary in this? Or his lover, Svetlana? Or are they one-in-the-same?! 15th studio album - Under Wraps Get your Talk Tull To Me merch here! Talk Tull To Me Patreon & schedule.

| Nobody's Car | 01 Nov 2022 | 00:53:52 | |
Seems like our heroes in a tight spot. Has he been made? Is he being tracked and followed by any number of unidentified cars? Or is the job getting to him, and he’s seeing Ivan everywhere? Sounds like, if he can survive until extraction, our hero needs a bit of a vacation. Maybe he and Svetlana can go to Cabo for a few weeks. 15th studio album - Under Wraps Get your Talk Tull To Me merch here! Talk Tull To Me Patreon & schedule.

| Tundra | 25 Oct 2022 | 00:53:22 | |
We have a bit of mystery on our hands here! A frigid landscape, a disappearance, an unclaimed pair of snow shoes. Is it strange experience for our spy hero? Or is it allegory for a one-night stand? That’s the beauty of Ian’s lyrics - they’ll haunt us all forever, never quite knowing what we’re hearing. 15th studio album - Under Wraps Get your Talk Tull To Me merch here!

| Astronomy | 18 Oct 2022 | 00:52:06 | |
The first half of the song comes across as rather innocuous, maybe a new narrator altogether, just looking up at the sky from his observatory…albeit naked. But then we get a little bit more detail - we hear mention of secrets and *you*, shame and consequences. And don’t forget the Big Bang. Never forget the Big Bang… 15th studio album - Under Wraps Get your Talk Tull To Me merch here! Talk Tull To Me Patreon & schedule.

| Radio Free Moscow | 11 Oct 2022 | 00:47:39 | |
Can’t confuse this one this week. No romance here. Did our protagonist make his decision after Saboteur and decide to be just a spy, his love for Mother England winning out? Or maybe he just had a job that really needed taking care of, and then he’ll return to his blonde bombshell when he’s done? Either way, spies! 15th studio album - Under Wraps Get your Talk Tull To Me merch here! Talk Tull To Me Patreon & schedule.

| Saboteur | 04 Oct 2022 | 00:59:17 | |
There may be an over-arching story forming for this album! Is this our same narrator, and his same love interest? Seems like our spy is having a hard time deciding whom he loves more: his country or his newly discovered love. Whatever decision he comes to, he’ll be a saboteur to the other. No one ever said being a super sexy awesome spy was filled with easy decisions. 15th studio album - Under Wraps Get your Talk Tull To Me merch here! Talk Tull To Me Patreon & schedule.

| Later, That Same Evening | 27 Sep 2022 | 00:52:05 | |
True to form for this album, we get a song that, at first glance, seems like one of the two: romance or spy thriller. But, also true to the genre of spy thriller, they are not mutually exclusive. Our sexy spy and his sexy damsel shared a sexy moment, it seems. 15th studio album - Under Wraps Get your Talk Tull To Me merch here! Talk Tull To Me Patreon & schedule.

| European Legacy | 20 Sep 2022 | 01:01:06 | |
This one kinda smacks of Under Wraps, doesn’t it? More love in an (exotic?) land. But also possibly spy related? The She/Her could just be Mother England… is it just a love song for his country?! Can we expect that from Ian? 15th studio album - Under Wraps Get your Talk Tull To Me merch here! Talk Tull To Me Patreon & schedule.

| Under Wraps #1 & #2 | 13 Sep 2022 | 00:50:17 | |
Is this spy thriller fodder? Or is it just that our narrator is having something of a clandestine fling? Or both?

Living a life of luxury isn’t an easy thing. What do you do when the money runs out?! When the good life comes crashing down, you have to become a pleb again, and then you’re stuck watching jealously as all the other rich folk enjoy that life that you once held so dear Ian’s really playing to his audience with this one… 15th studio album - Under Wraps Get your Talk Tull To Me merch here!

| Down at the End of Your Road | 30 Aug 2022 | 00:52:49 | |
Finally, nothing commentary related here. Just a fun, dark character song from Ian. He's wearing his ultimate slime ball costume, not even the sexual deviant kind, just an overall villain.

| I Am Your Gun | 23 Aug 2022 | 00:49:12 | |
We've been seeing a fair amount of Ian's absurd song as commentary lately. And frankly, I'm liking it! This one, however, hits regrettably close to home. It's great, don't get us wrong.

Another character song, with our dear singer/narrator as a bit of a creeper. He puts on the facade of absurdity to shine the light of realization on society.

| Overhang | 09 Aug 2022 | 00:48:08 | |
We've all had that night, once or twice. We have a couple of drinky-poos. The night slips away. We wake up in someone else's pants, a duck duct taped to your hand. A construction crew is pounding away inside your skull, and you've somehow misplaced your bones. If you're Ian (or Nik or Omen, for that matter), this might happen after a particularly strong kombucha. 14th studio album - The Broadsword and the Beast Get your Talk Tull To Me merch here!

| Too Many Too | 02 Aug 2022 | 00:48:28 | |
A repetitive tune, nowhere near the top of our list, we gotta be honest. BUT - we do take apart the lyrics and actually come away with a new understanding and appreciation for it.

| Seal Driver / Cheerio | 12 Jul 2022 | 00:57:33 | |
A super specific, but actually super sweet, song about telling your loved one how much you appreciate them and how important they are in your life. Or maybe a pickup line based on that idea...
