To Cry You A Song - A Tribute To Jethro Tull (1996)

"Sincronicidade: (do grego syn, junto, e chronos, tempo) é a designação de Jung para um princípio que deveria explicar a relação significativa mais causal de acontecimentos, a “coincidência significativa” de dois ou mais fatos. Se aceita a hipótese, a adoção de uma função psi - que tornaria possível uma explicação causal torna-se supérflua. A hipótese foi desenvolvida por Jung num trabalho conjunto com o físico Woltgang Pauli (1900-1958).

O que teria a ver Jung com Jethro Tull?

O Carlos, um já assíduo colaborador deste escriba, devido a postagem e ao comentário sobre o trabalho "3" onde Robert Berry substituiu à Greg Lake no ELP, me enviou uma infinidade de obras onde Berry participaria mostrando que ele não seria um ilustre desconhecido e sim um árduo operário da música dita progressiva.
Nestas idas e vindas, ele também mostrou sua paixão por Keith Emerson, nos municiando com muitas informações e trabalhos do mesmo e também do Berry (os quais nem metade ainda postei, prq gosto de escrever algo a respeito do que divido, e nem sempre tenho o tempo necessário, ou a vida nem sempre está como queríamos, enfim...); na última conversa ele me chamou a atenção para uma participação de Keith com o Tempest, mas que ainda lhe faltavam detalhes.

Indo atrás, prq adoro fuçar, encontrei esta verdadeira obra de arte, à qual não tenho vergonha de dizer que desconhecia totalmente e chamo a atenção para os participantes desta coletãnea em homenagem ao Tull, e as versões de seus clássicos.
Quer saber?

Não é qqr um que tem peito de meter a mão numa obra de sucesso mundial e refazê-la e por isso costumo ir atrás de coletãneas sim; as vezes são verdadeiros lixos e caça níqueis de músicos decadentes, mas também aparecem maravilhas como esta.
Segue um texto no original e tb uma resenha dos músicos e músicas.
Analise e tire suas conclusões, eu?
Amo o Tull e adorei esta obra.



"To Cry You A Song Jethro Tull has been releasing high quality music for almost thirty years. In fact, Tull has been influential for so long that it is easy to forget what made them such a compelling act during the early stages of their career. The band had a profound effect on rock during the late 1960's and '70's due to their use of the flute as a lead instrument and the wild persona Ian Anderson portrayed on stage. During those years Tull was known as a hard rock band ("Aqualung" and "Locomotive Breath"). In the early 1970's they were thought of as a progressive rock band ( "Thick As A Brick" and "A Passion Play"). At the end of that decade "Songs From The Wood" and "Heavy Horses" were more folk-oriented. The 1980's saw Tull become more keyboard-oriented and hi-tech in its approach.
More recently, "Crest Of A Knave" surprised everybody (especially Metallica) by winning a Grammy for best Hard Rock/Heavy Metal Act. And in 1994 Ian Anderson showed incredible musical maturity with his classically-inspired, new age-influenced "Divinities". Tull also contributed a great deal to making the modern concert business what it is today. They were the first group to carry it's own PA system from city to city and make those costs part of the production expenses. They were the first group to carry multi-level staging on the road with them making them memorable for putting on an extravagant live show. Ian Anderson has a style and a vision which he has been able to parlay into a huge army of dedicated fans that has remained loyal for decades.
But with all the image, marketing and promotional aspects of the Tull story, one factor should not be dismissed: the songs were great. "To Cry You A Song ...A Collection Of Tull Tales" is made up of some of Jethro Tull's best and most loved songs. The performers that have been gathered together for this album have all been a part of the Tull story as participants or avid fans.

Claro que já deu pra notar que a sincronicidade, coincidência ou o que quer que seja, está que por causa do Carlos chegamos ao Berry, chegamos ao Keith, que nos trouxe aqui ao Berry de novo e não bastasse isso, à um time de primeira linha dos quais sou fã incondicional; dois dos melhores vocais de todos os tempos :Wetton e Hughes; Phil Manzaneira e Derek Trucks nas guitarras; nada menos que Mr Charlie Musselwhite and everybody........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
E a participação do Keith com o Tempest ainda ficou pra uma segunda fuçada, rs.

Chega de lero diria o maninho BigZé e vamos ouvir os caras.

Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
