Because he's oft-lumped with classic-rock vets from the Zeppelin era, it's easy to forget that Jethro Tull's flautist-vocalist Ian Anderson has always been a complete original. It's also tempting to think that Tull has in recent years been little more than a vehicle for Anderson's idiosyncratic whims, but his third solo outing, The Secret Language of Birds, quickly clarifies that notion. Entirely acoustic and worlds away from its two predecessors--the dated electro-pop of 1983's Walk into Light and the refined classicism of 1995's Divinities: Twelve Dances with God--Birds hearkens back to the pastoral, Renaissance-tinged music that Tull has explored less and less since Tull's second outing, 1969's Stand Up. With a nod to the folk influences of Steeleye Span (whom Anderson produced) and rife with Gaelic and Eastern European musical influences, Anderson contemplates issues from lost innocence to the Irish Problem with typically baroque grace. --Jerry McCulley

Thoroughly enjoyable work from Ian Anderson.......2007-01-04

I was delighted to discover that the musical genius continues, after having lost track of him in the 90's.

I can't speak the language, but I love it anyway!.......2006-09-27

The title track on this cd features yet another brilliant and catchy melody by Ian Anderson, which he has always had a knack for creating. Then again, that compliment could be applied for every song on this disc. This album is truly a joy to listen to. Some of the highlights include Sanctuary, Jasmine Corridor, Panama Freighter, and the instant-classic Circular Breathing. I would have liked to hear a little more drums and more electric guitar from guest Martin Barre (of course!), but the overall quality and accosutics of this recording are really excellent. You can hear many of the elements, such as great accoustic guitar work, classic Hammond organ, and of course, exquisite flute solos, that has made the music of Jethro Tull so special over the years. Another example of why Ian Anderson is a musical genius.

Extremely Satisfying.......2006-09-07

The Secret Language of Birds is a stunningly beautiful, near-perfect album. Being just about the biggest Ian Anderson/Jethro Tull fan ever, I wasn't particularly surprised. I bought Rupi's Dance when it was new a while back and really liked it, but I just got SLOB and I must say it is a superior collection of songs. It must be one of the finest solo albums ever released by a band's front man, and it is certainly Ian's best solo effort. It is relaxed in places, and robust in others, especially in the second half of the album. It's the perfect CD to play on a sunny day (or when it's rainy to cheer you up). Every song is simply wonderful in its own unique way. The highlights for me were numerous, including the title track (Parts 1 & 2), "Montserrat," "Set-Aside," "The Habanero Reel," and "Sanctuary," which is one of the most beautiful songs he's ever recorded. Really, they're all good though. This album represents Ian Anderson's return to writing the kind of music he became so beloved for in the first place. Not that his stuff in the 80's was entirely bad, it just wasn't what we all know and love about Ian. As always, he sings in such a way that it seems like a live performance, full of quirky nuances. For anyone who complains about his voice not sounding as good as it used to, I would offer that he has done an excellent job working with what he's got now. Sure he can't belt it out like he did on Minstrel in the Gallery, but come on: the guy's pushing 60 and still goes on world tour every year! There are several elements of the album that recall the classic Tull works of old. Most welcome for me was the inclusion of what sounds very much like a Hammond B-3 organ, which Andy Giddings plays John Evan-style...major plus. Most of these songs would have been right at home in the 70's folk rock scene. If you would consider yourself a fan of Ian, Tull, or folk music in general, you must buy this album. You won't be disappointed by this exquisite assortment of songs.

An Exquisite Acoustical Masterpiece.......2006-07-24

As a lifelong Jethro Tull fan, I have followed Ian Anderson and the versions of the group through its variations from blues to rock to acoustical to whatever else. The common thread through all these permutations is the high level of musicianship that Anderson and the boys around him bring to his music. This recording is an acoustical treat of the first order - a mature musician who still has his wits and his musical chops and hasn't lost his creative edge. This is NOT a Tull album, though at times, it may sound like one, especially the more acoustically oriented ones. Anderson's flute playing has come to a wonderfully seasoned maturity; he's a man who is at one with his instrument. Equally pleasant is his acoustical guitar work, which has attained a very clean and comfortable sound intergrating rhythm with intricate melody and counterpoint. The lyrics are pure Anderson - obscure, difficult, at times nonsensical, but they always make you listen carefully.

Some have commented on Anderson's less than powerful vocalization. Obviously, his voice bears the scars of 40 years of singing and a surgery. But the pieces are written to be friendly to a voice that may be a bit too old to rock and roll, but still too young to die. I don't find this a detraction at all, but rather an artistic accomodation to aging in a culture that places little value on maturity.

This is a very smart and pleasant recording by a creative artist whose music will live on long after he ceases to record.
