Our Take

JETHRO TULL Living In The Past
Release Date: June 23, 1972

Rating: 8.6

Imagine frolicking through a field of wildflowers, adorned in bell-bottoms and a floppy hat, with the sweet sound of a flute dancing in the breeze. That's the experience you'll get with Jethro Tull's Living In The Past. This album, released back in '72, is a delightful blend of folk, rock, and everything in between.

From the hauntingly beautiful title track to the energetic romp of "Driving Song," Ian Anderson's vocals soar and the band's instrumentation is on point. The flute solos are particularly impressive, adding a unique touch to each song that sets Jethro Tull apart from the rest.

But Living In The Past isn't all sunshine and rainbows. Tracks like "Christmas Song" and "Witches Promise" delve into darker themes, showcasing the band's versatility and depth. And let's not forget the standout track, "Teacher," with its infectious groove and catchy chorus.

Overall, Living In The Past is a timeless classic that proves Jethro Tull's staying power in the music industry. So grab your closest friends, pour a glass of wine, and let the sounds of this album transport you to a simpler, groovier time. Cheers to Jethro Tull for a true musical masterpiece.

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.
