His naratives are all wonderful leadins to his wonderful style of music. He provides both humorous and anecdotal shorts that add another layer to his music and ones perspective of the holidays.

Review of A Jethro Tull Christmas With Ian AndersonYes---over the years Jethro Tull(the band) along with the flute playing one-legged minstrel, Ian Anderson, never ceases to amaze us with his multi-task talents of musicianship. Every album has offered diffreent perspectives of music/life and the interpetations..jazzy..blues..celtic..folk...nd of eclectic along the lines of the latye great performer Frank Zappa. I've seen many concerts....and if you never have gone...go..take your kids...your girlfriend..wife...it's a fun night out with a very entertianing man and his band... |

Review of A Jethro Tull Christmas With Ian Anderson
Looking for an 'out of the ordinary last second' Christmas special? This is the one, especially for stations who program rock and related genres of music.
Excellent production values and rock solid (pun intended) musical recordings.
Ian Anderson has a great voice, a stylish delivery and he sounds honest, warm, funny and personal. Good balance between music and Ian's conversations.
Hear a great version of 'Moondance' and find out who motivated Ian to relearn flute technique. Laugh at good natured references to Eric Clapton and "slightly grumpy" Christmas music.
I liked this a lot.
