    Excellent, and maybe even better than SLOB
  

*by J***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 10, 2003*

Probably the best things that ever happened to Ian Anderson's music were his move to the country and his purchase of a salmon farm. Ever since the mid-1970s, he's had an independent source of income and hasn't been tied to the fickle tastes of musical fashion. As a result he's been free to make quite a lot of excellent music without either the usual market influences or the creativity-stifling pressure of depending on his tunesmithing for his bread and butter. Go right ahead and consider those lilies, folks, but there's something to be said for investing wisely.This CD, as no doubt every reader of this page knows, is very much in the same spirit as _The Secret Language of Birds_, in that it consists mostly of Ian singing and playing flutes and acoustic guitars.The songwriting is every bit as excellent as on _SLOB_, and possibly even just a smidgen better (if that's possible). There's a delightful mix here: several cats, some other animals, some coffee, a couple of lovely instrumental pieces, a touch of "world beat", and the occasional bit of schoolboy humor ("Eurology"? hee hee). There are also some nice photos of Ian posing grimly with his flute.There are also some guest musicians (notably but not only Leslie Mandoki, who sits in on several tracks; Anderson recently appeared on one of his releases as well).Anderson's voice is in good shape, his flauting has never been more liquid, and his guitar work is delicately filigreed. (Incidentally, some of the songs are played on an 1880-vintage C.F. Martin guitar.)There's also a "bonus" track from Jethro Tull's forthcoming Christmas album. The preview is nice to have. (It would be easy to get cynical here and treat the track as a simple marketing ploy, but the fact is that any of us who buy one of these CDs would have bought the other anyway.)Bottom line: if you know this CD exists, you should probably already have bought it. If you haven't, why not?

    Ian Anderson - A Nice Pleasant Album
  

*by S***Y on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 3, 2010*

"Rupi's Dance" is a solo album from Jethro Tull front man Ian Anderson.  Much of the material on this one would not seem too far out of place on such folk / acoustic oriented Tull discs as "Heavy Horses" or "Songs From The Wood.  Anderson plays the bulk of the instruments here and the songs are all short in the 3 to 4 minute range.  There no lengthy instrumental workouts like you might find on a Tull disc, but this music is meant to be lighter in structure and content so this is not a disappointment.  Overall I think this may be Anderson's best solo disc.  It is similar in style to his previous album "The Secret Language Of Birds", but as a whole the material here is stronger, and there are no real dud tracks to be found.  Anderson has become a fine old gentleman in his lyrics, making quaint observations about the passing of everyday life.  There are no grand political or philosophical statements to be found here.  The album is mainly acoustic, but does rock a bit in spots.  Anderson's voice is not quite what it used to be, but he keeps within his current, somewhat limited range and it actually works quite well.  Along with the vocal tracks there are also several nice instrumentals featuring Anderson's patented flute work.  "Rupi's Dance" is a nice pleasant album that should be pleasing to Tull fans looking for something a bit on the lighter side.

    Review of Rupi's Dance - Ian Anderson
  

*by D***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 30, 2003*

Rupi's Dance is a very listenable album in that it has a good variety of songs;  Ian sings on most of the them, but also plays 2 flute solos and has an orchestral background as well.  He seems to have gotten into a groove from the opening number and just continues it throughout the album."Calliandra Shade" (The Cappuccino Song) opens the set followed by "Rupi's Dance."  Good start.  I especially like "A Raft Of Penguins" and "Not Ralitsa Vassileva" (where he's asking his chattering dinner companion, "And do you think you're Ralitsa Vassileva" who is one of the CNN newswomen).  Both of these songs got into my head and I've had to keep playing them over and over.Anderson's voice has gotten better on every album since the 1995 release of "Roots To Branches."  There was a time from about 1987 up until the '95 release where he sounded somewhat hoarse due to some problems with his throat.  Not anymore.  He's in fine form here.I also notice that Ian's flute playing has been excellent over his last several albums.  This CD also comes with a booklet that includes the lyrics but in addition Ian supplies us with some background info on all the songs which I found quite interesting.  One thing I have found to be true about Ian Anderson is that he never shortchanges his listeners.Overall, a most enjoyable listening experience for me.  Hope it is for you as well.
