Re: Jethro Tull overview

Due in large part to Ian Anderson's vocal cord damage Tull had to take some extended time off, which gave them a chance to spend more time writing the next album, which would be their only Grammy...

Re: Jethro Tull overview

On to Under Wraps (1984).

Ian lost his mind. He got a little nutty during the Passion Play/War Child era when it came to throwing in every instrument under the sun on the tracks (cluttering up...

Re: Jethro Tull overview

War Child (1974) was the 2nd Kitchen Sink album (following the bizarre A Passion Play). A lot of really good songs were diminished by the overinstrumentation that Ian felt the need to use. Strip down...

Re: Jethro Tull overview

1982's The Broadsword and the Beast was an interesting album. Filled with both their 70's acoustic/folky style AND 80's excess in studio production style it's got an interesting dichotomy. It's a...

Re: Jethro Tull overview

At this point, multiple Tull members were burned out on the album/tour/album/tour cycle they had been on for over a decade. Keyboard players John Evan and David Palmer wanted a break, and drummer...

Re: Jethro Tull overview

The next album, Stormwatch (1979) followed on the style of the two previous albums, but had slicker production, and hinted at the more synth heavy 80's material that was to come...

Re: Jethro Tull overview

It was around this point (1977) that Ian Anderson moved to the country. The move coincided with his desire to go more acoustic Folk on the next Tull album, and the surroundings of his new home...

Re: Jethro Tull overview

I so wish I could have seen them in 1980 or 1982! Great tours. The band was on fire, and Anderson still had his voice!

Re: Jethro Tull overview

Thankfully, Ian chose a more stripped down approach for the next album. Minstrel In The Gallery is a classic Tull album, with a lot of acoustic guitar and flute, but also some of Martin Barre's most...

Re: Jethro Tull overview

The critics savaged A Passion Play. (Some of them didn't like Thick As A Brick, so that's not surprising.) Ian's a smart guy, so he knew he couldn't keep doing the album length song thing, that had...

Re: Jethro Tull overview

With the success of Thick As A Brick, Anderson decided to do it again (the album length single song thing).

But this time the results were... Weird. Anderson, already a multi-instrumentalist...

Re: Jethro Tull overview

After having Aqualung incorrectly called a, "Concept album," in the music press as many times as it was, Ian Anderson decided to mock said music press by releasing a concept album to end all concept...

Re: Jethro Tull overview

With Benefit the more identifiable Jethro Tull style was born. They would expand on it greatly on the next album, but here you can tell that this was a band coming in to their own.

Jethro Tull overview

So we haven't discussed Jethro Tull here for a while, and never as a career overview, so why not?

First thing - why are they not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? They were hugely successful,...
