This Tull line up could do no wrong. Love Barriemore Barlow's contribution on this. There is an excellent drum solo on the live album "Bursting Out"...
Ian and Martin formed an incredible team. They could change from genre to genre in an instant. There are great Jethro Tull albums and there are magnificent JT albums. There were definitely no bad albums in the first 20 years. Sometimes it's impossible to say how great songs are with so many to choose from.
Really they were great from ‘68 till about 1980 and then when Ian lost his vocal range and intonation though the music was still good to me they flatlined!
@@a.k.1740 Or the entire band Rush. They are Tull fans. Geddy Lee stated if he could build his dream band, Barriemore Barlow would be his pick for drummer / percussionist.
A song written after the birth of Ian's son James, and lyrically it's a warning to the infant that the world can be a dark, scary place and Daddy isn't going to sugarcoat the reality, even though he will protect the family. Musically and thematically, it's similar to ideas that Tull would return to later for the Broadsword And The Beast album (specifically the song Beastie). And interestingly, James Duncan Anderson now works with his father in the business management of Tull, as well as occasionally playing drums.
I actually prefer the live version on Bursting Out. It's grittier and more concise: They end the song after the solo selection. No need to repeat the verses again since the lyrics and arrangement don't change. Not to mention the way it segues into Sweet Dream.
No Lullaby...this song as grown on me over the years Justin. Ian and Martin,one of THE greatest partnerships ..ever. They compliment each other so beautifully imho Justin. The transitions on this belter are just sublime. Oh and Barriemore s drumming. Perfection Justin. Another song that is on repeat quite often ❤ Great review butty ,as usual Justin
The SUPERB live album "Bursting Out" also came out later in this same year. It has a live version of "No Lullaby" which doubles down on the heavy riff parts. It might well be worth your consideration for the next JT album. :)
I think that's my favourite Tull album, just because it give such a great impression of being a single concert full of the presence of all the band members. It has "added personality" or something like that. There's that element of the strange relationship that develops between a band and its fans, together in one place. Maybe what Justin needs to do is get access to a version of *Bursting Out* to have at the ready, make a track list from that, and then first work work through those in their canned versions, and then do Bursting Out. (It's not an ideal way of doing things, because at least for some songs, it's better for "the right one" to be the version on Bursting Out, not the studio version. This very song is a case in point. This studio version is really good, but the live version is "the right one". If you play that album too loud and get on with something that has you coming in and out of the house, if you're in the garden when the flute parts float by, they weave through the air like sound serpents, or worms, or gangs of fairies doing formation flying and buzzing things. ... ... No, that's not the acid talking. I discovered quite young that I'm much to unstable to survive things like acid. That's for those of sound mind, not us wobbly headed types. ... It's the music. Don't you feel it moving around you, instead of just falling on your ears in the usual simple direct sound lumps? Those flutes travel about through the air around you, rather than hitting you, and it's only really in Bursting Out that the recording gives that effect fully enough to be able to claim 'Tis so! without being sent to calm down somewhere terrifying.) Sorry, lost my way a bit, there. Sometimes I feel like if I could just get hold of the right words, I could make the case for something like, "Bursting Out, FIRST", against the ostensibly more sensible procedure of first knocking off the studio albums. Maybe, though, you only hear the flute notes flying by, and swooping a loop the loop round some bee that got in the way if you're in what amounts to nothing more than just an over-excited state induced by the music's impact on some particular day when you were prone to that. I hope it's not "special" like that, though. It would make me much happier to discover that it's "real" (in whatever way strings of sound that were pushed out of a discrete pair of speakers aimed in some single definite direction could "fly around" in any real sense.) Bloody hell! If I say any more than that, I think I'll have crossed the TL;DR threshold. Oh, now I have.
@@papalaz4444244 No, unfortunately we cannot get engaged because each of us is already in a relationship ! 🤣😂 Seriously, what can I answer to that?🙄 If you've been following Justin's channel since the beginning, he said he favors studio albums over live for a first listen.
One of my favourite jethro tull tracks. I dont listen to alot of tull anymore, this song makes me feel like a kid again. The live version of this song on the madison square live album has the fattest flute solo at the end of the song, before leading into the flute section for their song kelpie from the folk record that followed this one. You mentioned wanting to see it live, you can find video footage of the madison square live version on youtube, worth checking out for sure.
Barrie Barlow's playing was getting better and better over consecutive albums. Stormwatch may not be your favourite Tull album, but the drumming there is just incredible. Unfortunately, he suddenly stopped his career after that.
I don't see how Stormwatch wouldn't be to Justin's taste since it's an excellent album! Regarding Barriemore Barlow, he already had a phenomenal playing on Thick as a Brick, A Passion Play & co. Yeah, too bad this exceptional drummer (my favorite with Ian Paice) didn't continue, despite being featured on two tracks from Robert Plant's second album The Principle Of Moments and two tracks on Jimmy Page's solo album Outrider.
I first saw them on this tour, too, in 1978 at the Hammersmith Odeon in London. I'm pretty sure they opened with this song, so this would have been the first thing I ever saw them perform live. I saw them again in 1980 and '82, but that first concert had the great Tull lineup with John Glascock, who sadly died not long after. It was a fabulous gig, with set being almost identical to the Bursting Out live album that was released not long after.
Probably my favourite drum based intro to any track, by anybody, ever. And my favourite from this superb album by one of my favourite bands. A stellar performance by Barrie & Martin in particular IMHO!
As I wrote you once before, Tull was the greatest band ( except for Pink Floyd) I ever saw. 1978 in Madison Square Garden & 1982 at Nassau Colesium. 78 was Song From the Wood & 82 was Broadsword and The Beast. Ian Anderson. Barimore Barlow and The great Martin Barre on lead Guitar 🎸 😎🎼🖖
'I'll sing you no lullaby'. To me, it is telling a growing soul the 'truth'. I am not going to lie to you, the world is a difficult and frightening place. You can't fight it off with your teddy bear (and bring your big bear down). This is not a 'safe space'. So you must come out fighting with your rattle in hand. I think this is a rather dark message, it was a warning that we have heard so often since then, that it now seems rather cynical. You are right that music of this complexity is hard to grasp on first listen. That is one problem with Prog - it sometimes just sounds like notes. So, good review -- great album. Still not sure if you did or did not 'like' it. thanks for paying attention to this, one of Tull's best.
The English have a tradition of ironic lullabies, with lyrics that encourage kids not to sleep. "Stay Awake" from Mary Poppins is another example. This one is a rather extreme example, but I can just imagine in growing out of something Ian sang to his sleepy kids... I love the imagine of the swashbuckling infant, rattle in hand, thrusting and parrying.
Hi Justin, This song is so great Live and is the opening track on Tull's great and famous "Busting Out" Live album from their 1978' tour which was so Great !!! I really Hope you can react to the complete album someday Justin it's one of Classic Progs Very Best !! 👍🎼🎶
Wait until you get to the climax of the album, Justin. The title track and Weathercock are two of the best songs Tull has ever released (with the latter already hinting at the album that would follow Heavy Horses, Stormwatch - you'll notice a shift in tone, musical ideas and lyrics on that last one).
A grower for me. Nowadays, I really like the song, back when I heard 'Heavy Hroses' for the first time this felt to me like Tull trying to slap on another slightly proggy epic that overstays its welcome a bit. Live, however, "No Lullaby" is fire!
Darker tuned track after the previous two more upbeat songs. I really like the different rhythm and tempo changes throughout as well as the orchestral arrangements which bring gravity and at the same time a certain lightness to the piece, which is paradoxical but it works. In any case, this piece is also one of my favorites from Jethro Tull.
The Bursting Out albim referred to is excellent, especially the flute soli, of which there is a live flute soli version, from Tampa 1979?? Gotta hear that and watch Ian play...
This album doesn’t get enough credit in JT discography. This song rewards multiple listens and makes more sense as you listen to it more. Album continues at this level. I personally like it more than it’s predecessor- SFTW.
@@coast73 definitely! It might be cause the folk trilogy progressively gets less happy/giddy and more dark/sad. I like both styles very much, just prefer the latter.
Along with Songs From The Wood this album was perhaps Tull’s best of their later albums. Too many great songs and albums that just want me to put the headphones, or Air Pods on and let the music carry me away!
I think this is as interesting album because its not too prog rockish but it has enough in there to give you a few surprises and energy. But it has a good overall feeling and theme kind of like songs from the wood, but a better overall album in my opinion. This isnt the Jethro Tull most people think of, but most Tull fans love this era of mostly 3 albums, songs from the wood, minstrel in the gallery, and heavy horses being three of the best folk prog rock albums to this day. IMO heavy horses sits atop the three.
I do like me some Heavy Horses. Just catching up after a technology-induced absence. Love this song and if you haven’t hit it yet, One Brown Mouse is cool.
You put milk in your chai ? Ewww, ah well you're playing one of my favourite Tull albums, try the live version on "Bursting Out" that tom-tom drum roll at the start sounds fantastic, Barriemore Barlowe again, inspires me to get behind my kit !
One of my top Tull albums, I like it a little better than SFTW which is also amazing. Have you done anything from RokFlote yet? a very interesting and different, lush sounding, more metal very Tullish album
'Reminds me of Rush' - You have that reversed. The members of Rush are influenced by Tull - they are big Tull fans. Neil Peart has praised Barriemore Barlow's drum work. Geddy Lee stated if he could build his dream band, Barriemore Barlow would be his choice for drummer / percussionist.
Back in high school, a friend assigned all his friends a song off this album. He took the title track for himself. I was "No Lullaby", but he refused to answer whether I was the one singing or the one sung to.
So Justin, I had an reason to count the other day. I have 21 Jethro Tull albums. All I can do is reinforce my other comments. I think this album is a sleeper among the Tull albums. I think the album will just keep getting better. I hope you are able to enjoy it. (Spoiler: Moths is a good track)
@@JustJP Oh. Its hard. My introduction to Tull was in the Army. My Bestie had Songs From the Wood. I think the next was Minstrel in the Gallery. I am sure you have noticed. Tull are masters of musical arrangement and musical transitions.

Oh man Journeyman is so damn groovy! Love the album up to this point but IMO it climbs to even greater heights from there on. Next one is Moths though, very sweet little song.
The weakest aspect about this song is the form, which is basically a song half the running length, but played twice. The lyrics are the same and the arrangement is also almost identical. Had there been a different verse it might have justified playing it twice like that. That is really the only complaint about this amazing song.
This Tull line up could do no wrong. Love Barriemore Barlow's contribution on this. There is an excellent drum solo on the live album "Bursting Out"...
Friends would ask me what kind of music does Jethro Tull play? My answer is always...Tull music...totally original! Unlike any other. 😀

Barlow, one of the greatest unknown drummers ever, except for us Tull fans. I’m always listening to his work. Awesome!
My favorite part is that slow, heavy waltz with the flute lead. Tull really hits their stride in that way.
A song written after the birth of Ian's son James, and lyrically it's a warning to the infant that the world can be a dark, scary place and Daddy isn't going to sugarcoat the reality, even though he will protect the family.

It might well be worth your consideration for the next JT album. :)

@@a.k.1740 But who are you? Why would we want to know what you think? You are unidentified. The posts all sound unnatural.
He also did some work with Kerry Livgren of Kansas fame.
@@phillyflyer12 Right.
Great song
This is the era that Ian's voice was best.
My first Tull concert was this tour, and this song for ME stood out and instantly became my favorite on the album. Live is amazing.
Ooo this would be amazing live!
@@JustJP If you want to hear it live, it is on Bursting Out, Tull's live album and it is a very similar vibe. Great version of it.

To me martin's guitar is the highlight of this song
The live version on Bursting Out live album is even better.
A power house of a song from a brilliant period of Tull. But folks Tull is still producing some damn good stuff. Their latest 2 albums are superb.
The English have a tradition of ironic lullabies, with lyrics that encourage kids not to sleep. "Stay Awake" from Mary Poppins is another example.

My favorite on this album 😊
I didn't remember how proggy this was. Barrymore Barlow is one of the tastiest drummers I've ever heard.
Delectable!
A lot to assimilate here that needs further exploration. I have noticed before similarities in riffing between Jethro Tull and Rush.
That might be because Geddy Lee was a fan of Jethro Tull.
Shades of Max Webster.Remember? And a heavier version of Terrapin Station by the GratefulDead? Or not.

Phenomenal song. So sinister. Kind of like Enter Sandman.
It's a little bit like Pibroch (off the preceding album) and Dark Ages (off the succeeding album) and those 2 songs are top Tull.
great rythm section. Barrie is a master and poor John Glascock (RIP), was a genius on bass guitar
Tull going all out Prog is a wonderful thing! 😊

Not a bad track on this album.
The weakest aspect about this song is the form, which is basically a song half the running length, but played twice. The lyrics are the same and the arrangement is also almost identical. Had there been a different verse it might have justified playing it twice like that. That is really the only complaint about this amazing song.
Yes, the live version fixes that. It's much more concise.
How did we get back here? well the intense jam is just to scare the crap out the kid. Ian wont tell no lie. It's rough out there kid!!! Ha ha
Hearing this song and Hunting Girl for the first time on the Bursting Out live album ruined the studio versions for me.
No lullaby, Ian! Now GO TO SLEEP!!
... of course, no lullabye ;-) ...

The song is great but IMHO would be better if a mnute shorter As the brits say , well I forget what they say.
Unfortunately ian and Martin had words and parted company...martin is a brilliant guitarist..
Love the instrumentation on this song, don´t care that much for the vocals on it for some reason.
Not my favorite track of the album, for sure. But thanks for putting it out here to hear!
Happily! Ty Traci
The only song I don’t care for on the album. Don’t all come for me 😂
