Heavy Horses
Encyclopedia : H : HE : HEA : Heavy Horses
Heavy Horses is an album released by Jethro Tull on April 10, 1978 (see 1978 in music). It is one of the last albums which saw the acoustic-celtic-rock flavor of much of Jethro Tull's middle music, before becoming synthesizer heavy. Together with Songs From The Wood and Stormwatch it represents the realisation of an ideal - rock songs that cover previously untouched subject matters; here ecological and English mystical concerns. The album continued the folk sound of Songs From The Wood but abandons much of the folk lyrical content in exchange for a more realist perspective on the changing world. It was highly acclaimed by some music critics, especially in live performance.
