	Jethro Tull (band)
		Jethro Tull is a progressive rock band that was formed in the 1960s.
		Jethro Tull "paid their dues" in clubs in the mid-to-late 1960s with a revolving line-up which eventually crystallized into Ian Anderson (vocals, flute, acoustic guitar, and later many other instruments), Mick Abrahams (electric guitar), Glenn Cornick (bass guitar) and Clive Bunker (drums).
		Although the band was reportedly proud of the sound, the album was not well-received, and as a result of either that or the throat problems Anderson developed singing the demanding Under Wraps material on tour (or both), Tull went on a three-year hiatus, during which Anderson began a highly successful salmon- farming business.

	Jethro Tull (band) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jethro Tull, famous for its unique brand of progressive rock, was formed in Blackpool, England in the 1960s.
		The album is a combination of heavy rock music focusing on themes such as social outcasts and organized religion, and some lighter acoustic fare about the mundanity of everyday life.
		This was a concept album consisting of a single very long track split over the two sides of the LP, with a number of movements melded together and some repeating themes.

		In fact, three tracks from those two albums were reworked for this release; "Fire at Midnight," "Ring Out Solstice Bells" and "Weathercock." Only "Ring Out Solstice Bells" appeared to be the obvious choice for a Christmas album, but given Anderson's offbeat perspective of things, the other two tracks assimilate nicely.
		From the traditional side of Christmas, Tull gives "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" a jazzy adaptation reminiscent of "Bouree" from Stand Up (which is also revisited on this recording) and "We Five Kings" sounds rhythmically similar to "Living in the Past," particularly the bass guitar line.
		The album's overall mix of folk, jazz, pop, rock, and classical elements carries it beyond the holiday listening for which it was intended, and is all woven together so skillfully as to make this an essential Tull album, their first in almost three decades and their most musically rewarding.

	JETHRO TULL The Jethro Tull Christmas Album review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-23)
		This being their very first holiday recording [ever] since their first album [was released] in 1968 (This Was) makes it a real jewel for the ages, particularly for the many progressive rock enthusiast such as yours truly.
		"The Jethro Tull Christmas Album" has plenty of tradition sprinkled about it to qualify it as a seasonal recording, although at times I got so wrapped up in the progression of the music I forgot I was listening to the spirit of the season.
		That factor does not make the album loose its appeal however, as it is one of their best recordings, right up there with the many classic releases that they have given us over the past four decades.

		Last year's Christmas album is out in a new, special limited edition which features a bonus DVD of songs from the "Living with the Past" DVD: "My Sunday Feeling," "Jack in the Green," and "Life is a Long Song." Here are more details on the release.
		Sip the sloe gin, pull a cracker (so long as she’s not the daughter of that dreadful man from next door), kiss and cuddle under the mistletoe, toss Vegan disciplines aside, gobble the turkey (steady on, now) and have a therapeutic respite from the rigours of daily life.

		Even if you are one of these pseudo Tull fans, if you could refrain from comparing The Jethro Tull Christmas Album to your rock guitar Tull favorites, you might be able to hear the exceptional quality of the music here which makes this release certainly one of the very best Christmas CD musical experiences.
		It's inspired with a deep appreciation of the magic of the Christmas season and achieves an expression of musical sensibilities that captures and portrays the warmth and joy of that human miracle we call The Christmas Spirit.
		For those of us old enough to remember Jethro Tull from the 70's and 80's, this new CD is a delight.

		This album must be a blessing for a Tull-fan that may have missed all the years between 1978 and till now, but for a fan that has followed Ian, Martin etc. through all those years, the whole thing lacks inspiration and is sort of...
		Yes, I know that this is a Christmas album, maybe meant to be kind, mild and played by the fireside, not meant to be a rocker, so in that way this album may very well be one of all-times best Christmas-records, but dont ever do this to me again Ian...
		When I first heard that Tull was going to come out with a Christmas album I thought, "its about time" and imagined Ian and the boys would come up with some ingenious little twists on some of the old Xmas classics.

		While it's all reassuringly wrapped-up in the wintry Victorian romanticism of yore (the album cover, after all, is a charmingly subtle joke), The Christmas Album still questions--in curmudgeonly Ian Anderson fashion--what all this back-slapping bonhomie, alcoholic immoderation and High-street retail hysteria is all about.
		Two of my favorite non-traditional Christmas songs are "I Believe in Father Christmas" by Emerson, Lake & Palmer and "Christmas Song" by Jethro Tull, which are not exactly the sort of songs you would remember to pull out of your music library at Yule time.
		Actually if you told me that Jethro Tull was putting out a Christmas album and that the best tracks were going to be the instrumental pieces, I would have been surprised, and you probably will too.

		As a pagan tradition, caroling worked a kind of magic of rejuvenation: the winter was a dead time, and to insure the resurrection of the world in spring, the carolers would come to offer their songs and to take their reward (102).
		In the introduction to "Broadsword And the Beast" I stated that the album reflects the atmosphere of crisis of the early eighties.
		The Suite in E minor, where Jethro Tull's Bourée can be found, is the earliest work that Bach composed for the lute.

		Rather, with this CD Jethro Tull have managed to capture in both verse and melody the spirit of giving, sharing, and perfunctory overindulgence that ostensibly go with the Christmas season, contrasted with the melancholy and flat-out destitution that the less-fortunate among us actually experience during this time of year.
		This interplay of content and style are presented against a backdrop of earthly Pagan solstice symbolism, all of which Jethro Tull have managed to integrate as a kind of ecumenical "Birthday Card at Christmas," which not incidentally is the title of the introductory track.
		The Christmas Album is as welcome in my collection as all their other stuff.

		Jethro Tull wear the holiday spirit well -- think Aqualung after the Christmas ghosts have had their way with him.
		The spry "Last Man at the Party" celebrates the excesses of the season, while the wistful "First Snow in Brooklyn" is a winter's tale about cooled romance.
		Though the Tull tunes lilt with carol-esque abandon, the reworked traditional songs are the tracks that really sparkle.

		Many of their albums are longtime favorites of mine but, in the 1990s, their new music was steering away from my tastes.
		This is (so far) the latest Jethro Tull album and it is one of their greatest.
		Many critics consider this album to be a blending of the different sounds of Tull throughout the years, and I have to agree.

		Crisply produced in the manner of their vintage 1970s work and brimming with delightful instrumental wit and invention, The Christmas Album is a cracker you'll want to pull more than once.
		Jethro Tull, to me, is unique in the rock genre for the skillful blending of old and new.
		But Tull is not the typical rock group, and they don't know what they're missing.

	Jethro Tull, The Jethro Tull Christmas Album, Information and link page
		Actually, there was a Jethro Tull (1674-1741), who was a British lawyer/farmer famous for introducing new farming methods, including a drill invention for planting seeds in a row (his name was the inspiration for the band), but that fellow has nothing to do with this fantastic holiday CD.
		Ian Anderson, the founder and leader of Jethro Tull since its inception in the British blues boom of the late 1960s, has always been the odd-fitting piece in classic rock's puzzle; after all, his principal musical instrument is the flute, and most rock bands steer clear of wind instruments entirely.
		If, on the other hand, you are familiar with Jethro Tull (Ian Anderson), enjoy classic rock, and/or just enjoy hearing excellent musicianship on a set of inspired and adventurous Christmas tunes, then you cannot go wrong with this CD.

		I know what you are thinking "Oh No! Not a Christmas album from Jethro Tull?" Well yes it is a Christmas album from Jethro Tull and to be honest the title gives it away really.
		All joking apart Christmas albums by established groups or artists are generally awful and sometimes not even worth playing at Christmas never mind any other time of the year.
		Other tracks such as Christmas Song, which was released as a B Side early in the bands career and Another Christmas Song which comes from the album Rock Island and Jack Frost And The Hooded Crow which again was a B side will all be familiar to long time Tull fans.

	Studio Albums - The Official Jethro Tull Website
		Jethro Tull released their first studio album with "This Was" in 1968 and their 21st in 2003 with "The Jethro Tull Christmas Album." There is a common misconception that Tull is a heavy metal and prog rock band.
		In truth, throughout the years, Tull has produced albums with distinctive sounds crossing and melding jazz, blues, folk, classical, Elizabethan, prog/art rock, and electronic genres (just to name a few) with just a smidge of heavy metal.
		While such typologies are always debatable among the fans (heck, some would organize albums by Ian's period clothing), this provides a good guide to discovering records matching your musical tastes.
