Jethro Tull | FESTIVALPHOTO
| Jethro Tull Jethro Tull are a British rock group. Having more than 20 official members over the years, their music is characterised by the vocals, acoustic guitar, and flute playing of Ian Anderson, who led the band since its founding, and the guitar work of Martin Barre, who had been with the band since 1969. They achieved success early in 1969 with their Top 1 album in UK Stand Up, touring on both sides of the Atlantic and appearing in most of the festivals of 1969–70. But it was with the world-acclaimed album Aqualung (1971) that Jethro Tull established themselves in rock history. Together with Thick as a Brick (1972), the band conquered the annals of Progressive Rock history, making an album that summarises the notion of concept album in the 70's. Maybe the two works that more define the group sounding and the front-man idiosyncrasies would be the Minstrel in the Gallery (1975) and the Songs from the Wood (1977) albums, both with good selling, acceptance between the fans and classics there are played in concerts of all Jethro Tull carrier. Two decades after their founding, the band earned the Grammy for Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance, Vocal or Instrumental for their Crest of a Knave (1987) album – which increased and sustained their fame through the years. In this wave of success, Jethro Tull have sold more than 60 million albums worldwide. They have been described by Rolling Stone as "one of the most commercially successful and eccentric progressive rock bands". www.jethrotull.com
