Songs, Albums & Quotes of Jethro Tull: A Pamphlet for Generation Z Jethro Tull Newcomers (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798308765486)

Jethro Tull is an innovative rock band to emerge from the late 1960's. This idiosyncratic group fronted by the multi-instrumentalist founder and lead singer, Ian Scott Anderson, resembled a group of roving English minstrels. They have been recording their style of rock and roll and toured the globe for over five decades. Who ever heard of a rock band driven by a flute?

It was a band criticized for being "too British" and "too theatrical," but the the public has loved them. Over the decades they have released a number of sublime albums with intricate compositions in various musical styles that started with a cult following to becoming international stars.

The band has produced music that is intrinsically fantastic for the world. Their musis has monumental quality, impact, variety and boldness. It is a style that infuses progressive and folk rock into iconic albums such as Aqualung and Songs form the Wood with lengthy narrative suites such as "Thick as a Brick" and "Passion Play."

Jethro Tull has created 23 studion albums, have seven hits on Billboard's Top 100, won a Grammy in 1987 for Crest of a Knave, and have been appointed a member of the British Empire for Service to Music, but no Rock and Roll Hall of Fame recognition yet. Geddy Lee of Rush says, "it is just wrong. They need to correct that."

This book is a proper introduction to Jethro Tull for Gen Z as an introduction to the band, their history and music.
