Jethro Tull An Evening With Jethro Tull Southam Hall, National Arts Centre, Ottawa, Canada November 26, 2007

While countless groups from the classic rock era reunite for tours seemingly planned as nothing more than a cash grab and one more last chance to feel the love, Jethro Tull can be accused of neither. First, Tull leader/songwriter Ian Anderson has proven himself to be as astute a businessman as he ...

Jethro Tull: Live at Montreux 2003

Read "Jethro Tull: Live at Montreux 2003" reviewed by John Kelman


It may have been a subject of debate during the band's early years, especially on its debut, This Was (Chrysalis, 1968), but by the time of its second album, Stand Up (Chrysalis, 1969), it was pretty clear that Jethro Tull was Ian Anderson. Although guitarist Martin Barre, who joined the group for Stand Up, has remained Anderson's constant companion in the ever-shifting line-up of Jethro Tull over the past forty years, it's Anderson's voice, Anderson's flute, Anderson's writing and Anderson's ...

Jethro Tull: The Best of Acoustic Jethro Tull

Read "The Best of Acoustic Jethro Tull" reviewed by John Kelman

Still, “Cheap Day Return, “Mother Goose and “Wond'ring Aloud are all completely unplugged tunes that give that album scope beyond thundering riffs and arena-rock attitude, and make The Best ...

Jethro Tull: Living With The Past

Read "Living With The Past" reviewed by Glenn Astarita


The title of this 2002 release might denote a mildly satirical inference to the band’s early 70’s outing titled, “Living In The Past.” Here, Ian Anderson and co. delves into the vast Tull songbook for these live performances, spanning 1989 thru 2001, whereas the bulk of the material might ring like a “best of” collection.

With the latest rendition of “Tull” – we find keyboardist Andrew Giddings effectively employing an assortment of synth-based textures for the series ...

The singing sustain of multiple razor edged electric guitars, the monster rock backbeat of Jethro Tull drummer Doane Perry and The Moonlight Sonata? Yes, This mash-up is the concept behind Tone Masseve's album Amp L'étude. Classical pieces? Yes, but these are not the dry, conventional versions we've all heard before.

Ian Anderson Will Return to Jethro Tull's Thick as a Brick for First Time in Decades

Source: Something Else!

Ian Anderson is celebrating the 40th anniversary of Jethro Tull's Thick as a Brick by playing the progressive rock epic in its entirety for the first time since 1972. But not with the band with which he once sang and played the flute.
