Our Take

JETHRO TULL's "Aqualung" is like a pint of warm ale on a rainy day - comforting, familiar, and a bit nutty. This album, which celebrated its 50th anniversary last year, still packs a punch with its unique blend of folk, rock, and, dare we say, flute?

Frontman Ian Anderson's vocals are as distinctive as ever, veering from delicate whispers to gravelly growls with ease. The title track, with its infectious guitar riff and haunting lyrics, remains a standout moment on the record.

But it's not all about the hits on "Aqualung." Deep cuts like "Cross-Eyed Mary" and "My God" showcase the band's knack for storytelling and musical experimentation. The intricate instrumentation and shifting tempos keep listeners on their toes throughout.

While some may dismiss JETHRO TULL as a relic of the 70s, "Aqualung" proves that their music is timeless. So go ahead, dust off your vinyl copy and give it a spin - you may just find yourself transported back to a simpler time when rock was king and flutes were cool. Cheers to that!

About the artist

Jethro Tull

JETHRO TULL: The Flute-Wielding Wizard of Prog-Rock If you ask any music aficionado to name a band with a flautist as their frontman, chances are the first name that pops into their head is Jethro Tull. Led by the enigmatic Ian Anderson, Jethro Tull has been pushing the boundaries of rock music since the late 1960s, infusing their sound with folk, blues, and a healthy dose of whimsical storytelling. Anderson himself is a true musical polymath, effortlessly switching between flute solos that will make your jaw drop and vocals that can range from a gentle whisper to a full-on rock scream. And let's not forget his signature move of standing on one leg while playing the flute - a feat that has left many a fan scratching their heads in wonder. But it's not just Anderson's musical prowess that makes Jethro Tull stand out. Their albums are a masterclass in storytelling, with concept albums like "Thick as a Brick" and "Aqualung" taking listeners on a journey through surreal worlds and thought-provoking narratives. And let's not forget their epic live performances, complete with elaborate stage setups and Anderson's iconic stage presence. So, whether you're a die-hard prog-rock fan or just someone looking to expand their musical horizons, Jethro Tull is a band that should be on your radar. With their unmatched musicianship, whimsical storytelling, and one-legged flute-playing frontman, Jethro Tull is a force to be reckoned with in the world of rock music.
