- Tea for the Tillerman
Tea for the Tillerman is a catchy album. The music is folk rock, but it's a more aggressive-sounding album than most other folk rock albums.
This is a really beautiful-sounding album. The songs all have wonderful melodies. The songs often start off very quietly and build to a crescendo. It's really effective if you buy into the lyrics. The lyrics aren't anything to get excited about, though. They're sentimental and self-absorbed, nothing more than an expression of faux spirituality.
I like this album, but I'd rather have different lyrics. I think it's worth listening to just for the music. I don't think it needs to be on the 1001 Albums list. This album isn't a new development in folk rock. It's just another album along the vapid path to adult oriented rock.
All the songs sound wonderful. The real stand outs are: Hard Headed Woman, Wild World, Sad Lisa, Longer Boats, On the Road to Find Out and Father and Son.
★★★★★★★★★☆
