Jethro Tull's Stormwatch is the brooding, windswept 1979 album that closed out the band's folk rock trilogy and the end of a celebrated line-up.
After Songs from the Wood and Heavy Horses, Ian Anderson turned his attention to the North Sea, oil, climate and the wild weather of the British coast. It was a heavier, darker record than its predecessors, and also a bittersweet one. Bassist John Glascock was seriously ill during the sessions, with Anderson handling much of the bass himself, and Glascock died later that year. Several longtime members also left soon after, making this the final album from Tull's classic late-1970s era.
North Sea Oil kicks things off with a stomping, urgent riff and a cutting lyric about the price of energy. Orion is a sweeping, dramatic rocker with Martin Barre's guitar and orchestral touches swirling around Anderson's flute. Dun Ringill is a stunning, hushed folk piece steeped in Scottish island atmosphere, while Elegy offers a graceful instrumental farewell.
This is a moody, atmospheric album that rewards close listening on a quiet evening. For fans of progressive and folk rock, it is a fitting end to one of the band's richest periods and a strong record in its own right.
