Ian Anderson's first two solo albums were both strongly reminiscent of the Jethro Tull albums that preceded them, but were overall a more satisfactory listening experience.
Anderson's prior solo effort Divinities: 12 Dances with God was good (and also featured Andy Giddings), but was more keyboard based; this one has more of a folky feel, with most songs structured around Anderson's acoustic guitar and flute, with Giddings flavoring the tracks with various sounds from the keys.
In the back of the CD booklet, Ian devotes a sentence or two explaining the thoughts behind each track, which is interesting to read while listening.
