In the latter months of 1967, four shaggy wannabe's congregated in the Southern UK town of Luton, Bedfordshire. From the debris of the disillusioned and disintegrated John Evan Band and McGregor's Engine, the naïve, untutored talents of Ian Anderson, Mick Abrahams, Glenn Cornick and Clive Bunker tentatively coalesced to form the original Jethro Tull line-up. After fulfilling a few remaining dates under the John Evan banner, the group established themselves as Jethro Tull, new resident band at London's famous Marquee club, albeit after a few false start identities ("Navy Blue", "Ian Henderson's Bag 'o Blues", Jethro Toe" and the certainly suicidal "Candy Coloured Rain"). By March 1968, they had built a following as the new face of the blues-based British More... (Submit New Jethro Tull Lyrics) (Submit New Jethro Tull Lyrics) A Passion Play | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song A Passion Play performed by Jethro Tull Thanks for the lyrics; I just printed them out for my son. I was fortunate enough to have watched "A Passion Play" performed live in El Paso in 1973. The band was fantastic and, of course, Ian Anderson was impeccable and breath-taking. Thanks again. Jim Hash Introspective social commentary from Tull | Reviewer: Wittgenstein Polka ------ About the song Living In The Past performed by Jethro Tull This jazzy rocker from the two disc 1972 release of the same title (consisting of once discarded odds 'n sods) became an unexpected hit for the band. A shotgun marriage of Roland Kirk and the famous Dave Brubeck/ Paul Desmond "Take Five" groove loans this tune it's unique synergy. Like fellow conservative rockers Ted Nugent, Frank Zappa, Pete Townsend and Mark Farner, Ian Anderson was wisely on guard against the frequently absurd teleological prognastications of the flower-power cult. In this song, Ian takes a well aimed swipe at the agrarian pretensions of certian factions of the hippie sect. He knows all too well that unearned priveledge cannot long masquerade as smug, self-important rectitude. Good thinking there, Ian! It's Deeper Than What The Lyrics Read. | Reviewer: Ryan ------ About the song Hymn 43 performed by Jethro Tull Hymn 43 is a slight of Christianity and organized Christian religion. Not for what Christianity believes it is, more for wht it has become. Read the lyrics again. Christians believe Jesus is the savior but have a look at how things have gone. The end of the song is the state of Christianity now. "It's cross is rather bloody and it can barely move it's stone". Tull - A Life-long love affair | Reviewer: Todd ------ About artist/band Jethro Tull For more than 3 decades, Jethro Tull has brought the World rich, complex music filled with insight and often biting social commentary (Not to mention a brilliant stage show). My grateful thanks to Ian and the band for a lifetime filled with great music! Who is Jethro Tull | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About artist/band Jethro Tull I really appreciate the service 365 provides, all the helpful information about bands (groups), performers and their biography's, and such. One thing I really find interesting is how musical groups determine the name by which they call themselves. When I first heard of this band, Jethro Tull, in the 70's, I automatically assumed Jethro was a name of the originator or lead singer. A few other examples for instance could be Lynard Skynard. I don't know of anyone at any time belonging to this band named Lydard Skynard. The name Fleetwood Mac would be close but the only Fleetwood in this band is Mic. And as for the Rossington Collins band, well..., the same thing. The names of some groups don't leave a whole lot to inquire about, like Boston, or Kansas, and Van Halen. But then there are groups who's names are not only very uncommon at all, but also what the name of the band means is not obvious either. Hymn 43 you're everything to me | Reviewer: dhastings ------ About the song Hymn 43 performed by Jethro Tull Ian has written timeless and poetic lyrics with music that drives the point home. It is this type of song that defines Tull as a band. Truly a Great One | Reviewer: Kaz ------ About the song Locomotive Breath performed by Jethro Tull A lot of today's songs whine about how the someone lost control of their life and it's gone downhill - and I do mean Whine. What an awesome song Locomotive Breath is, if for no other reason than that it tells the story without making you want to reach out and smack some idiot. Of course, pair that up with the perfect melody and make the whole thing sound like the train on its trip to oblivion... Oh, Ian. Please pass some talent on to today's crybabies. fisher | Reviewer: Vernon ------ About the song No Lullaby performed by Jethro Tull I want to believe my little orange cat, Tito, put up a good fight when he was taken by a fisher. I lament not taking more extreme measures to prevent Tito from enjoying his liberties at night. Having listened to Mr. Andersons song many years ago, I recalled his lyrics by rote. I'm so sorry Tito, I wish you were here, (Pink Floyd) Good bye Tito The Best | Reviewer: Mike Smith ------ About the song Locomotive Breath performed by Jethro Tull If any of today's song writers could write songs only half as good as Ian's they would be platinum everytime. But alas there are none today who can come close. one of the greatest bands of all time | Reviewer: Gabby ------ About artist/band Jethro Tull I am a HUGE fan of Jethro Tull, and i have been for all 15 years of my life. They are they only band that could make the flute hardcore, and I worship them for it. They are a group of extremely talented musicians and deserve more credit in the world of rock and metal. In My Opinion...... | Reviewer: Mark S. ------ About the album Songs from the Wood performed by Jethro Tull This is Ian Anderson's best work. Lets people know that JETHRO TULL is more than just Aqualung! Classic Rock at it's finest | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Locomotive Breath performed by Jethro Tull Locomotive Breath is what so many of today's disconnected, what-the-hell-was-that song writers aspire to produce. The lyrics are loosely connected to one another and beautifully supported by the underlying melody. Do the lyrics, when viewed written out, make sense? Not really. Then again I don't think that was the intent; yet, somehow, in the midst of it all, it all coalesces to sensibility in some cosmic sort of way. Great tunes from one of rock's greatest singer-songwriters, Ian Anderson. This is a tentative thought at best... | Reviewer: Karn ------ About the song Broadford Bazaar performed by Jethro Tull Ian Anderson's lyrics are often so obscure and symbolic that it's really difficult to grasp a meaning to his songs, and it's made harder by the fact that there are often many meanings to his songs. In my own specific opinion, this song is about how avarice and the need to own and buy useless junk and how ownership, rather than compassion, is the name of the game in the world. Well, It's gotta ...kind of a beat...and you can't really dance ..er maybe a waltz? | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Sossity: You're A Woman performed by Jethro Tull Vintage 1970 Tull. Ian Anderson at his enigmatic best...odd accent makes lyrics difficult to understand...but the flow is so superb you don't care. The tone of the song is melancholic, yet beautiful. Essential Jethro Tull. Underappreciated Geniuses | Reviewer: Dave in America ------ About artist/band Jethro Tull Never understood why the critics largely turned on this group and then largely ignored them (when not scorning them) in the following decades. You would think praise would come to an artist that has always displayed an adventurous desire to make music that was not being made by everyone else, along with unquestioned technical skill and a generally unfailing melodic ear. While the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inducts artists who had a couple of good songs and a couple of records of uneven quality, Jethro Tull has had hundreds of good songs and about twenty really good albums/CDs. Even the ones that were a bit "over the top" in either a lyrical or musical sense were interesting, which is far more than can be said for the vast majority of popular music. Well, we all know that popular does not equal good and that sometimes, as in the case of Jethro Tull, the great can labor without widespread appreciation. Thanks to Ian Anderson and all the talented members of Jethro Tull for over 30 years of wonderful music. One of the best. | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Flying Colours performed by Jethro Tull Nothing constructive to say here.
