Igor (April 13, 2006)

This is the un-Tull album along with the next Stand Up. They were a bar band that played under many names until they decided on Jethro Tull, the inventor of the seed drill in the 16th century. These guys were riding the late 60\'s white boy blues revival on this one with every song being straight up blues tunes or blues influenced. Ian Anderson\'s flute would become their staple trademark musically. There sound for me is one of the most original ever in 20th century music. One of my favorite 5 or 6 bands. Not a bad tune on the album and every song takes you somewhere else. A true fusion album. Get it and listen to the whole thing.

If you know this album you can review it.
