Hi to All. It would be not enough for me to say : "I love this Album" . I say : " I REALLY love this Album "!! The song " Sanctuary " is the one i like best, it may be. The drum part, in particular. M.

Not a bad song on this whole, amazing collection...allthough 'Habanera Reel' and 'Postcard day' have a few forced, fall-flat rhymes /lines...the 'Goats and Chickens too' has always drivwen me crazy...he coulda done better there somehow. Sanctuary, both SLOBs, Jasmine Corridor and Panama Freighter, heard as a sort of SLOB suite, are high points in Ian's career.

I would take out SLOB1 and replace with Little Flower Girl and Postcard Day and there you have it...the definitive songs on the album. Great stuff!

You don't hear what I don't say. We named our dog after one of the songs on SLOB. Best guess?

A faultless album and an exceptionally good album cover. A top 5 effort out of all of the Tull/solo efforts combined.

A faultless album and an exceptionally good album cover. A top 5 effort out of all of the Tull/solo efforts combined. Must agree. Want a poor review?..look to Canada, too. THE SECRET LANGUAGE OF BIRDS By MIKE ROSS - Ian Anderson (True North Records) jam.canoe.ca/Music/Artists/A/Anderson_Ian/AlbumReviews/2000/04/01/770226.html Tweet, tweet, tweet ... Jethro Tull's satyr-like singer and flautist indulges himself terribly on a collection of wispy nothings filled with images of "glistening" iguanas, "flitting" illusions, "milky" light, "virgin" dawn (you get the idea) and, of course, the birds, the birds .... Steeped in an Olde English flavour and loaded with twittering flute solos, there are some laughable moments in Anderson's gentle music. But he's dead serious, singing the most esoteric, mystical and silly sentiments in his reedy voice, undoubtedly inspired by years of wandering around in his own garden. Music for hobbits.

www.allmusic.com/album/the-ian-anderson-collection-mw0000417233 Review by Eric Schneider This two-disc set presents both of Ian Anderson's early-2000s albums, Rupi's Dance and The Secret Language of Birds. An acoustic-based extension of Anderson's work with the prog rock act Jethro Tull, these outings feature the Scottish vocalist/flautist playing up the folk and world music elements of his compositions, as evidenced on the jubilant "Rupi's Dance" and the chiming "Montserrat." Easily eclipsing much of Tull's latter-day material, these records find Anderson continuing his solo career with style and grace.

I've fallen in love with this album once again. Does anyone have any idea what kind of alternative tunings Ian is using and on which songs? And what's the tuning of his bouzouki?

They can edit out some of my adjectives, can't they?

It seems odd to me that such journalists as you describe above are the very same ones who used to frequent the music press back in the day and who are now wheeled out to comment on such things in TV documentaries and "retrospective" columns in current music magazines. All the exceptional journalists of those days have either departed to the sub editor's office in the sky or, perhaps wisely, have decided to keep quiet so as not to be "stalked" on the internet by people who weren't there but think they know far better. It pisses me off when some " miserable gas station public phone chin spittle dripper with no journalistic skills" spouts on TV something that he or she purports to be true but is in fact a load of b0110cks. Rant over

I always loved the interviews and live songs which Ian played on radio too

Ian's magnum opus? If "The Secret Language of Birds" had been a Tull album it would rank it in my personal top five. The album contains some of Ian's best melodies and lyrics, but its the diverse style and influences that makes its so special. Also, the musical style was better suited for Ian's post 1984 vocal range.

What if Ian was one of us ? Just a SLOB like one of us ?

I cant fault this album. I think its the acoustic solo album I hoped for and imagined whenever IA mentioned in interviews throughout the seventies that he was thinking of doing one. A gentle pastoral treat underrated and up there with his best work. He tried to repeat it with "Rupis Dance" but I think that album was a bit twee, with unmemorable melodies and fell a bit short (though I really like "A raft of penguins")

Ian Anderson - Panama Freighter
Aqualung71 4.01K subscribers
Night close in on a shanty town. Panama freighter wearing rusty brown. But she sails tomorrow and she's homeward bound. Head up on a lumpy sea, on a lumpy sea.
I'm not the only lonely planet rider in this one horse town, I'm thinking. And I won't over-rate or patronize you.
I know we're as different as chalk and cheese; as black hole winters and salad days and I wouldn't like your mother much anyway. But it's not her I'm taking home with me, not her I'm taking home with me.
Don't intend to dress you in silver threads like some trophy in sublime seclusion. Won't try to educate or civilize you.
Night close in on a shanty town. Panama freighter wearing rusty brown. Well she sails tomorrow and she's homeward bound and you're bound to come home with me. Bound to come home with me. And you're bound to come home with me. On the Panama freighter with me.

Hello. I was looking back at the lyrics of certain songs on SLOB and i really wonder what "Little Flower Girl" is about ? Somebody told me today it wa sinspired by a famous painitng but µi don't know more... Some lines are a bit weird... as if the narrator liked little girls a bit too much...
