Description/Reviews: 

...the addition of Becca Langsford’s lead vocal on a couple of tracks is refreshing and harks back to the female vocals fronting much of 1996′s second solo foray The Meeting.  Barre-ophiles may regard Roads Less Travelled as closer in spirit to that earlier album than the more recent solo output.  ...
The emphasis is unashamedly on the song structure and an upbeat vibe throughout.

Description/Reviews: 

I suspect the audience for this album will mainly be the more curious of Tull aficionados which is somewhat of a pity as in many ways the album is practically a definition of the word "progressive".... The melodies and arrangements are sublime and hearing this solo work from Palmer makes one realise just how much of an impact she had on the classic Tull sound.

Description/Reviews: 

A wonderfully ambitious fusion of Folk, Rock and Metal stylings. Or, put another way, Prog.

In 1972 Jethro Tull released iconic concept album Thick As A Brick, based on a poem by child prodigy Gerald Bostock; in 2012, as fans wondered what happened to Bostock, Ian Anderson explored the different paths his life might have taken in Thick As A Brick 2. With 'Homo Erraticus' enfant prodigy Gerald is back for real.
Following a 40 years’ political career, Bostock reunited with Anderson taking the role of tour manager on a string of shows. ‘Homo Erraticus’ marks his return to songwriting, and it’s based on an unpublished manuscript by amateur historian Ernest T. Parritt (1865-1928).
In 'Homo Erraticus', Parritt examines key events of British history with a string of prophecies stretching to the current day and the future; visions of past lives caused by the delirium of malaria generate the characters through whose eyes the stories are told, including a nomadic Neolithic settler, an iron Age blacksmith, a Christian monk, a turnpike innkeeper and even Prince Albert.
