Jethro Tull - This Is Jethro Tull flac album

A is the 13th studio album by Jethro Tull. It was released on 29 August 1980 in the UK and 1 September of the same year in the United States. The album was recorded in the summer of 1980 using Maison Rouge Mobile and Maison Rouge Studios in Fulham, London. Eddie Jobson guested on the album, playing keyboards and electric violin. The album was produced by Ian Anderson and Robin Black.

Jethro Tull was initially a strange kind of blues band. Their first line-up included Mick Abrahams, Glenn Cornick, Clive Bunker, and Ian Anderson. Shop this was on burning shed. The debut album hit in the British charts, partly thanks to great airplay from BBC Radio DJ John Peel. In June 1968, just before this album was recorded, Jethro Tull began a residency at London’s famed Marquee Club (where the ‘Stones and The Who also launched their careers). Band advisers failed to get Ian to give up the flute and let Mick do all the singing. The album was recorded without any record company contract presuming, correctly, that a deal could be made afterwards. Tull began their first US tour in January 1969, immediately after securing the services of guitarist Martin Barre.

For a band that remained relatively consistent (with a few minor exceptions) in their approach to rock & roll since 1968, Jethro Tull also possessed a sound that was uniquely '70s-oriented during their most successful period between 1971-1978. Avid fans have been yearning for the group's return to the style which made them one of the most successful of the guitar-based, mainstream prog outfits - albums like Broadsword and the Beast and J-Tull. Com touched on their former glory, but they didn't fully satisfy.

This was Jethro Tull. That’s no accident because when we were recording it, the one thing I felt sure about is that if we were lucky enough to make another album, I knew it wouldn’t be like this one: based on blues elements and black American folk culture. That’s not part of my life and I couldn’t keep doing that – I’d look like a complete twit. Songs From The Wood (1977). More than any album we’ve done, this is one where the band had more to do with the elements of the songs. Martin Barre and David Palmer particularly had worked some material up that would fit right into a song, and where the recording process had all the band involved. There was an exception or two – Jack-In-The-Green was me one Sunday after lunch in there alone – but the rest of it was all of us.

The first Jethro Tull album I bought was " Living in the Past . .Every song better than than the one before What superb song writing and arrangement. Excellent songs and excellent sound. While "This Was" is far from Jethro Tull's most developed or defining album, it is a very enjoyable introduction to the bands curious juxtapostion of flute against the standard rock band configuration. The material is deeper rooted in the blues forms that had a toe hold on most of the Brit rockers with mid/late 60's born-on-dates (think Cream) - However, the genre-fusing that continued to serve Tull very well into the new millennium was already in gear with tinges of jazz sweating through the muscular blues progressions the band vigorously fleshed.
