Quite probably the only band I can honestly
say I am a fan of, Jethro Tull has been around for a very long time (since
before 1968) and they are still relatively active. Their music was
original then and still stands as a unique mixture of rich vocals and
smooth, evocative instrumentals surrounding an array of still-pertinent
and sometimes stirring messages. I was introduced to their music in 1985 and have appreciated
their sound since. Even if the music itself is not to your liking, the
poetry and message behind the lyrics is enough to study.

Since the J-Tull Dot Com concert and
album, new recordings have largely been comprised of either concerts
(consisting of pre-released material) or compilations of
pre-released material, so I have not bothered to include them here. |
