My jaw dropped when I heard this. This goes to show that an acoustic guitar and a fantastic voice can take you to another place. My hat is off to you Madam, and as one singer/songwriter to another? Please don't stop, the world needs more of this, not American Idol.
With all respect to you sir, you sound as if the original Tull song is not what you describe here: An acoustic guitar and a fantastic voice!! With the addition of writing the music and the lyrics!!! I am sorry, I don't understand...
It takes a lot of guts to take on Jethro Tull. The timing of the guitar notes versus the vocals, requires skill. Bravo Ms Carolyn! I had to listen a second time. Very nice.
I thought her timing is a little off, playing too fast, and she is missing some notes, but a nice version anyway-- It makes you appreciate Martin Barre as a guitar player even more!!!! He was never given much credit---
@thomasfoss9963 Yep, first thing i noticed, just seems to be rushing, but that is isn't easy to play to maintain the fluidity of the strumming hand. Gotta take my hat of to her!
Nice job Carolyn. Love your vocals and playing. Love to hear more of your surprises. Yo mike I guess you haven't heard Carlo Ribaux: There is a group out that aren't in the four front but plays gigs. Listen to them, they do a spectacular job. What I find awesome about this cover they do Parts 1 & 2 complete..

@@akquicksilver that’s OK as long as you still vote American Republican for Donald Trump for president November 5, 2024. Remember, remember 5 November. V 🙏👀🗽🇺🇸
I am surprised that more artists don't cover Jethro Tull in general, let alone their masterpiece, Thick as a Brick. Applause to you for this. It was a beautiful end to my day and the exclamation point on an hour of UA-cam video surfing.
I've been a huge Tull/Anderson fan since my teens (early 70s)... Thick as a Brick is one of my favorite all time songs... Challenging vocals and instrumental well covered Carolyn, thanks!
There was nothing like the seventies for a Tull concert. An absolutely amazing experience. I approve of this message by Ms. Oates. Thank you for sharing Carolyn. Beautiful rendition you have provided us. Peace.
Saw Tull in Northern Virginia in early 70s. Aqualung had just come out. The opening act was....a band lesser-known at the time...YES! What an unreal show.
You make it look so easy, as you know it ain't. Loved the picking and vocals Miss Oates, stirs my very soul when I hear most tracks from JT and Thick as a Brick just sums up the 70's and the very nature of the English folk music scene, always innovative and breaking new ground, from Greenslade to Yes and Hedgehog Pie to Pink Floyd. I was so lucky then, I didnt really appreciate the moment properly.
Now THAT is a cover!!! As a fellow acoustic singer/songwriter and huge Tull fan, that is by far the best version (which you made your own by the way) I have heard, hands down. In this day and age when pyrotechnics and flashing lights are "talent", you have shown that six strings and an amazing voice put all of them to shame! well done Madam :)
It's been well over 40 years since I saw Tull live, but as I recall, they had a lot of flashing lights! lol It was a helluva show! The drum kit was surrounded by an octagon of layered steps of colored lights that seemed to change with the beat. It was spectacular! Of course, they didn't need it given the genius of their music, but it surely enhanced the experience.
What a beautiful rendition. Brings tears to my eyes like the first time I heard this in the Spring of 1972 as a Junior in high school. It's still my favorite JT album. I saw Ian and Company in concert several times here in Kansas City. I even had several of his albums also in 8-Track format. That's what we did back then; owned both the albums and 8-Tracks tapes so we could listen to our favorite music in our cars. I feel like a dinosaur telling the world...
Same here, except we had cassettes!!! No interruptions in the middle of the songs--- Maxell was the king back then---- I had a Sony professional recording unit that recorded in stereo, and have many live shows, and festivals recorded, but it's hard to find a unit to play them on these days!!!!
@@thomasfoss9963 When they came out with cassettes, my brother and I started recording the albums on a Sony unit, and still have them. It was nice to be able to pick your favorite songs and dump them onto cassette tapes. Not sure what we'd do with them now. Kind of useless.
@@lancehaley9417 I have so many live recordings, it's hard to just dump them, but I haven't listened to them in years now-- My brother had an Ampeg reel to reel that had hours upon hours of live music recorded from radio stations, etc---
I'm a big fan of Jethro Tull and just happened into this excellent cover! I had my doubts, before anxiously grabbing headphones for a listen, that this song would succeed to work without Ian's flute accompaniment. I've listened/ watched three times, now! Carolyn, I truly appreciate the work you've put into this sample of your amazing voice and guitar expertise. Please, stay at this, I'm subscribed and look forward to your next performances. Wow!
What an absolute DELIGHT to listen to this fine, fine - and accurate - rendition of the early part of Thick As A Brick. Life Is A Long Song would be a goodee, too. Really, there are so many acoustic pieces to choose from. Well done!
Best concert I ever saw was Tull's 25th anniversary tour, when they were just 5 musicians on the stage with instruments and monitors. No light show, none of the usual kooky theatrics. They played 22 minutes of Thick as a Brick. Didn't miss a note. Takes brass to tackle this. Nice work!
This was one of my favorite songs by Jethro Tull and watching them perform it live was very moving; just like watching and hearing you perform it 50+ years later!
That was really nice. Tull were a huge part of my teen years and I have followed them since I bought their first album back in 1968. Later, 'Stand Up' gave us a hint of Ian Anderson's genius in turning the mundane and ordinary in daily life into gems of real poetic beauty that truly stand the test of time, as your rendition shows so well. Thanks for that.
One of the best covers I've heard of any song. The guitar playing is amazing and your voice is so clear, strong and beautiful. Also, I love how the cover stays close to the original, but you put some of your own way of doing it in there too. I saved this link. I'll listen to it a lot more.
I listen to the entire album during some of my more intense runs. It helps my mind escape the pain cage. I know every inch of this song. It’s a masterpiece and your performance is every bit outstanding.
Thank you for that! I've been a serious Jethro Tull/Ian Anderson fan for about 50 years. I even got Ian to autograph a copy of a portrait I drew of him in exchange for the original, which he kept. Great cover of a great song. Well done!
Thank you for a very beautiful version of an immortal song. Not many dare to engage with Tull's core substance. Impressive, lyrical - and exquisite guitar playing. Respect from a Tull fan since 1976.
Carolyn Oates !!!! Just Beautiful !!! Love the Guitar, Love the Playing, Love your Beautiful, Perfect Voice!!! Thank you so much for this !!! Merry Christmas to you and yours !!!! God Bless ! Fran Danco
My first concert was Jethro Tull, on the 'Passion Play' tour. Their music is timeless. So inspiring to hear someone of your age interpret their music. Beautifully, brilliantly. You've added a lift to my day!
Wonderful to have such a talented lady breathing fresh life , and femininity, into this song, and reminding us of that unique era. How blessed we were to have lived through it. Thank you.
I've always loved this album and have played guitar for many years now but never even considered an acoustic arrangement. This is a delightful find and will be on my favourite list for a long time to come....well done Carolyn
Great cover Carolyn...I saw tull 4 times in San Diego and Seattle in the 70's...ive played guitar since I was 11...Ian can do things standing on one toe that most ayers can't do sitting in a chair..best concert hands down..
Like many of the people commenting here, I've been listening to Tull since the early 70's and at one time had all of their albums. Have seen them twice in concert, etc. I can't think of one single example of someone covering one of their songs, however. A bold task covering this one, but it was refreshing hearing an entirely new version of it. It's especially enjoyable hearing a woman's voice singing those lyrics. Well done.
Boy would i love to jam this with you. You nailed tull. One of the best concerts ive seen in the early 70s. I also liked passion play. Ian anderson was phenominal guitarist and flutist.❤
Back here, again. So wonderful to hear young people playing music that their mothers and fathers grew up on, when we were young. Thanks again, best wishes, Peter.
I just saw Tull perform at Wolf Trap in Virginia. Ian still has a lot of energy. Sadly, they did not perform this song. I saw the band perform several times in the late 70s-early 80s, and saw Ian perform with Lucia Micarelli circa 2004. Ian is definitely one of the greatest songwriters of all time. Love your cover!
Was somewhere near London ,UK. outdoor venue.. mindblowing performance. big screen at the time also with image that started moving after 15 mins or so.. ballerina type was coiled in a yoga? pose.. uncoiled..... brilliant! early 70s or so
Excellent Carolyn, JT was one of the best of all the 60's and 70's bands so keep exploring this era's music, it is filled with magic to discover, like this. At 70, I still listen to Tull and 70's music.
Lovely! I remember buying this album many, many years ago, early 70's. Big Tull fan back in the day. You played that so well! What a pleasant surprise to wake up to. Took me right back to my younger days and the moment I first played that album.
@@carolynatesmusic I’m Australian, an ex Brit, living in Brisbane. I shared your link to this excellent Tull track with a muso friend on WhatsApp. It should be doing the rounds with a few more listens on YT. I used to play Locomotive Breath in my band, and since I have been listening to Aqualung again this weekend (all thanks to you) it’s going back into the set list.
Outstanding! I’d love to hear it at a slightly slower tempo because I think the power of the lyrics, the beauty of your voice and the equal beauty of your playing would make it even better, but that’s not to detract from an extraordinary professional, mature and sensitive interpretation. And all that from from a seasoned Tull fan who had the album from first release. Thank you!
I have not heard that song for 40 years. That was played and sung very well. I always wonder what inspires a young talent to perform such a song as this.
I’m an old school Tull fan and this is bloody brilliant.
i know Im quite randomly asking but does anyone know of a good site to watch new series online ?

I keep coming back to this periodically. It's just so good.
This is actually the first Jethro Tull song i ever heard them play live (1972). You did it justice. Thanks.

Brilliant version. I'm a huge Tull fan though not a musician. It's seems a little faster than the original. Not that's thats a bad thing though.

Some great songs to choose from for accoustic. Skating Away, Life's A Long Song, Witch's Promise ,LocomotiveBreath. I love playing all of them .
It's about time that someone had the guts to play this uniquely special Ian Anderson tune. Bravo to you madam! You did the song justice!!
