Known for their impact on rock music, Jethro Tull is a rock band formed in 67 in Blackpool, Lancashire. The band started with three friends from a Blackpool grammar school who had no idea they'd change rock music forever. The band has had many different members over the years, with Martin Barre being the longest-serving member besides Anderson. They first got noticed with their 1969 album "Stand Up," which hit number one in the UK, but really became famous with "Aqualung" in 1971.
Jethro Tull stopped recording in the 2000s and split up in 2011, but Anderson brought back the Jethro Tull name in 2017 and started making new albums in the 2020s with different musicians. Anderson and his bassist were so broke they shared cans of soup, and he cleaned cinemas just to make rent. They couldn't even keep gigs in London clubs, so they kept changing their name until a history-buff booking agent dubbed them "Jethro Tull." The funny part? Anderson didn't even know it was a real person's name!
Everything changed when they hit the National Jazz and Blues Festival in '68. After their guitarist left (replaced briefly by future Black Sabbath founder Tony Iommi!), they found Martin Barre and really took off. By '71, they'd created "Aqualung," which sold a million copies in America and became their signature album. The '70s were wild - they dodged taxes in Switzerland, turned down Woodstock (Anderson didn't want to be pigeonholed as a hippie band), and crafted "Thick as a Brick," a single 43-minute song that somehow topped the US charts.
The band went through some changes when bassist John Glascock joined in 75, replacing Jeffrey Hammond. Sadly, Glascock had serious health problems and died in 79, after Dave Pegg had taken over bass duties during touring. In the early 80s, Jethro Tull went through major changes when three members left - drummer Barrie Barlow, keyboardist John Evan, and arranger Dee Palmer. The band then turned to a more electronic sound with their album "A," which was originally meant to be Ian Anderson's solo album.
Through the early 80s, they had several temporary drummers, including Phil Collins for one show, before Doane Perry joined in 84. In the 90s, the band changed again when longtime bassist Dave Pegg left during the recording of "Roots to Branches" in 95. He was replaced by Jonathan Noyce, and the band's music started showing more world music influences. Anderson even had to relearn how to play the flute properly after his daughter, who was taking flute lessons, noticed he was using incorrect fingering.
Fast forward to today, and Anderson's still leading Jethro Tull, releasing new albums like "The Zealot Gene" in 2022 and "RökFlöte" in 2023. From sharing soup cans to selling 60 million albums, from blues clubs to massive arenas, Jethro Tull proved that a flute can rock just as hard as any guitar.
