- Description:
- Includes liner notes by Ian Anderson.
All tracks have been digitally remastered.
Though they`re often lumped in with other 1970s prog-rock groups, Jethro Tull was always a band apart. With their British folk leanings, they had a foot in the UK folk-rock camp a la Fairport Convention, and their knack for trenchant guitar riffs endeared them to the Led Zeppelin-loving heavy-rock crowd as well. THE VERY BEST OF JETHRO TULL touches on all the aspects of the group`s sound, drawing liberally from every era of their career. While all the classic-rock-radio staples are here (the chugging rocker "Locomotive Breath," the meter-shifting prog fave "Thick as a Brick," the mammoth riff-monster "Aqualung"), there`s more relatively obscure fare on offer, too. While a few more well-known cuts are absent from this collection, the jig-like "The Whistler" and the latter-day tracks "Broadsword" and "Steel Monkey" stand to prove that there`s more to the Jethro Tull story than what the casual listener may glean from some narrow-casting oldies station.

This CD took me back in time! What a treat! Suddenly, it's 1972 and I'm in a Datsun 240Z with 5 (yes, FIVE!) of my peeps on the road to see JT in concert 90 miles away! What fun! All the songs I remember, crisp and clear, without sportscar cramps! Thanks for the memories...
