Jethro Tull Give You One More Chance To Love Them

You know who deserves more critical respect?

Jethro Tull, that’s who!

Ever since the band won a Grammy in 1989 for Best Hard Rock Album over Metallica (and okay, maybe before that as well), Jethro Tull have been the butt of too many jokes among music fans, when in fact, they are an awesome flute-led folk-rock force of nature that deserve your hosannas.

If bands like Rush can be the secret stars of I Love You Man, and Emerson, Lake, and Palmer can mull a comeback, it’s high time for a little love to be thrown in the Tull’s direction.

Hopefully, the upcoming Jethro Tull: Live At Madison Square Garden 1978 will help bring the balance back. Culled from the band’s “Heavy Horses” tour, the live album/DVD features the band roaring through legitimate rock classics like “Aqualung,” “Locomotive Breath,” and “Thick As A Brick.” The DVD

In October, band leader Ian Anderson will embark on a two month U.S. solo tour.
