Anderson, Ian

Most Jethro Tull fans will be asking themselves the same thing this time: Ian, did we really need this album? There's no real reason for its release other than the ever-sarcastic, cheeky master of flute artistry and clever concept stunts…

Most of Ian's followers would happily forget his creative period between 1983 and 1984, even though »Walk Into Light« was a somewhat more bearable effort than the electronic monster that came next, »Under Wraps«, which left a black stain on…

»Thick As A Brick – Live In Iceland« is a solid live document, but it's really only for the die-hard fans of the life and work of prog rock's best-known 'prancing little fella'.

It looked grim, but it all turned out great in the end. Ian's crew may even have exceeded expectations, especially in the second half of the show, when they completely won us over with some properly 'dusty' Tull standards. Ian delivered an…

Even those who are fed up to the back teeth with Ian's cynical attitude toward the 'Jethro Tull' name will agree that, strictly musically speaking, there's not much to fault on "Homo Erraticus". Despite the occasional reliance on an 'extra…

At this year's annual “hippie gathering” in the Austrian state of Burgenland, we soaked up the vibes of Ray Manzarek & Robbie Krieger, Lou Reed, Gov't Mule and a whole bunch of others.

The sequel to "Thick As a Brick" will keep Tull diehards arguing for a long time to come. Between the 40th anniversary of this masterpiece and a decade of studio laziness, it was clearly Ian's main (and totally unnecessary) goal to grab as…

With "Divinities," the legendary troubadour of progressive folk rock has crafted a superb instrumental album, blending influences from a range of ethnic traditions into one rounded whole through enchanting pastoral melodies and orchestral…

"The Secret Language of Birds" is another very strong outing from a prog rock icon, and you could just as easily call it a step up from its instrumental predecessor "Divinities".

"Rupi's Dance" is Ian's best and most mature solo effort to date. It'll make the heart of every longtime follower of this immortal rock icon skip a beat.
