Bio:
Jethro Tull were a British rock group, formed in Luton, Bedfordshire, on December 20, 1967.Initially playing blues rock, the band soon developed its sound to incorporate elements of British folk music and hard rock to forge a progressive rock signature.The band was led by vocalist/flautist/guitarist Ian Anderson, and featured a revolving door of lineups through the years including significant members such as longtime guitarist Martin Barre, keyboardist John Evan, drummers Clive Bunker, Barriemore Barlow, and Doane Perry, and bassists Glenn Cornick, Jeffrey Hammond, and Dave Pegg.The group first achieved commercial success in 1969, with the folk-tinged blues album Stand Up, which reached No. 1 in the UK charts, and they toured regularly in the UK and the US. Their musical style shifted in the direction of progressive rock with the albums Aqualung (1971), Thick as a Brick (1972) and A Passion Play (1973), and shifted again to hard rock mixed with folk rock with Songs from the Wood (1977) and Heavy Horses (1978). Jethro Tull have sold over 60 million albums worldwide,[3] with 11 gold and five platinum albums among them.They have been described by Rolling Stone as "one of the most commercially successful and eccentric progressive rock bands".The last works as a group to contain new material were released in 2003, though the band continued to tour until 2011. In April 2014, as he was concentrating on his solo career, Anderson said that Jethro Tull were finished.
Album:
The 23rd studio album from the rock legends, following the release of the critically-acclaimed UK & German top 10 album ‘The Zealot Gene’.Twelve tracks reminding the world of the iconic sound that the legendary band brought to rock music, recorded with the current Tull line-up of Ian Anderson, David Goodier, John O’Hara, Scott Hammond & Joe Parrish James.This is a very enjoyable album from Jethro Tull, which harks back to older albums in style and feel, but doesn’t over dwell on them nor attempt to copy them. There is a definite primal air created by the music and the intonations of Unnur Birna, but there is a combination of the dramatic and the impish as the songs require. Ian’s song-writings skills have not diminished with the years, and being surrounded with high quality musicians is always going to be an incredible bonus. The whole package has the feel of quality. Ian playfully comments; “The title of this offering went through a little change or two along the way. I started with the idea of a predominantly instrumental album for rock flute – as in rock music. When the subject material of the album presented itself, I was drawn to the term Ragnarök from Norse mythology – their version of apocalyptic end times or Biblical Armageddon. The ‘final showdown’ scenario is ubiquitous and inherent in Hinduism, Christianity and Islam, for example. Ragnarök translates as ‘destiny of the Gods’, the rök part meaning destiny, course, direction. With umlaut firmly in place, courtesy of the Germanic origins of Old Norse, Flute became Flöte in keeping with the spelling. With me so far? I just can’t miss the glorious opportunity for a good and legitimate umlaut.”
