Merry Christmas.

I’ll be running out of these Christmas numbers soon. This will be the second last track from Tull’s Christmas Album to be featured here, an adaptation of Bach’s Bourrée.

The tune was one of the tracks on Tull’s second LP Stand Up and was also released as a single in 1969 in Europe but not the UK. It has appeared on many Tull compilation albums.

Again this comes from Tull’s Christmas album. Unusually though it was written by guitarist Martin Barre.

Another from Tull’s Christmas album. I doubt when they started up as a blues band that they thought they would ever make and release such an offering. A sign of softening, I suppose. But then age comes to us all (if we’re lucky.)

Merry Christmas!
