Jethro Tull were a unique phenomenon in popular music history.
Their mix of hard rock; folk melodies; blues licks; surreal, impossibly dense lyrics;
and overall profundity defied easy analysis, but that didn't dissuade fans from giving them
11 gold and five platinum albums. At the same time, critics rarely took them seriously,
and they were off the cutting edge of popular music since the end of the 1970s.
But no record store in the country would want to be without multiple copies
of each of their most popular albums

Jethro Tull was very much a blues band on their debut album, vaguely reminiscent of the Graham Bond Organization
only more cohesive, and with greater commercial sense. The revelations about the group's roots on
This Was -- which was recorded during the summer of 1968 -- can be astonishing, even 45 years after the fact.
Original lead guitarist Mick Abrahams contributed to the songwriting and the singing, and his presence
as a serious bluesman is felt throughout, often for the better: "Some Day the Sun Won't Shine for You,"
an Ian Anderson original that could just as easily be credited to Big Bill Broonzy or Robert Johnson;
"Cat's Squirrel," Abrahams' big showcase, where he ventures into Eric Clapton territory; and "It's Breaking Me Up,"
which also features some pretty hot guitar from Abrahams. Roland Kirk's "Serenade to a Cuckoo"
(the first song Anderson learned to play on flute), their jazziest track ever,
is one of the best parts of the album...(AllMusic)
