Jethro Tull – Heavy Horses was released in 1978 and continues the folky direction of Songs From The Wood. Ian Anderson's flute, rural themes and fine arrangements make it one of the band's most cohesive albums – with songs like "... And The Mouse Police Never Sleeps", "Acres Wild" and the title track. Guest Darryl Way plays solo violin.
