Our Take

JETHRO TULL Original Album Series: Volume 2

With their second installment of the Original Album Series, JETHRO TULL continues to prove why they are one of the most unique and innovative bands of their time. This collection showcases five of the band's iconic albums, each one a musical journey through the minds of frontman Ian Anderson and his band of merry minstrels.

Starting off with the classic 'Benefit', listeners are treated to TULL's trademark blend of folk, rock and just a hint of madness. Anderson's flute playing is as mesmerising as ever, weaving in and out of intricate guitar riffs and pounding drums like a musical tapestry.

Moving on to 'Aqualung', arguably the band's most well-known album, we are transported into a world of dark, introspective songs that touch on themes of religion, society and the human condition. Anderson's vocals are raw and emotive, drawing us in with each haunting lyric.

The journey continues with 'Thick as a Brick', a rock opera that defies all expectations and conventions. Clocking in at over 40 minutes, this album is a true test of the listener's endurance, but the payoff is well worth it. Anderson's lyrical prowess shines as he weaves a tale of epic proportions.

Overall, this Original Album Series is a must-have for any JETHRO TULL fan. It's a trip down memory lane, filled with twists, turns and plenty of musical surprises. So grab your flute, throw on your capes and get ready to rock out with one of the greatest bands of all time.

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.
