████ The Secret Language of Birds is Ian Anderson's third solo album, ████
████ but the first to specifically highlight his melodic skill and ████
████ guitar prowess on a set of folk-inspired songs. His first solo ████
████ album, 1983's Walk into Light, was marred by its full embrace of ████
████ sterile '80s production in lieu of rusticity. While his second ████
████ effort, 1995's Divinities, was a move in the right direction and ████
████ a sonic precursor to the set at hand, it still was held back by ████
████ its conscious decision to downplay Anderson's obvious acoustic ████
████ heritage for a more classical bent. But sometimes the obvious is ████
████ what works best, and Jethro Tull fans were pleased to learn that ████
████ Anderson's third release finally embraced his classic sound. Just ████
████ like Tull's excellent Roots to Branches, this one has a decided ████
████ ethnic flair, running the gamut from Indian to Russian to Celtic. ████
████ Even though the disc has several contributing musicians, it ████
████ doesn't fall prey to the "too many cooks in the kitchen" syndrome ████
████ that plagued many a latter-day Jethro Tull release. Instead, a ████
████ very rich yet minimalistic sound is highlighted throughout, with ████
████ Anderson's strong, almost-recovered voice and virtuoso ████
████ mandolin/acoustic guitar work coming to the fore. The title track ████
████ and "The Water Carrier" specifically recall such classics as "Fat ████
████ Man," "Skating Away," and "Minstrel in the Gallery." Perhaps the ████
████ best songs besides those two are "Sanctuary" and "Panama ████
████ Freighter," both of which are mature yet quirky, the obvious ████
████ fruits of Anderson's unique vision. Those are the highlights, but ████
████ the whole album displays a consistency that even Jethro Tull ████
████ rarely approached. There are even two bonus tracks not listed ████
████ from a European TV broadcast. The Secret Language of Birds can be ████
████ easily ranked among Anderson's best work, Tull or otherwise, and ████
████ in many ways is the most impressive release of his career. ████
