Description
Originally formed by singer-songwriter Ian Anderson in psychedelic 1968, the band Jethro Tull has been recording its own kind of rock and roll and touring the globe for more than three decades.

This is a history of the band through the present, written by an acquaintance of several of its members. The book includes a chronology of all of the band’s recordings and information on all accompanying tours, with the author’s critiques as well as the band’s own reminiscences and opinions of each album. Also included are previously unpublished interviews with founder Ian Anderson, long-time band member David Pegg, other band members Glenn Cornick, Andy Giddings and Doane Perry, and more.
