Jethro Tull & Interpretationen – Döschwo Dölüggs

Jethro Tull – Ian Anderson: Für mich DIE Band – immer noch und immer wieder.

Hier fokussiert auf Interpretationen und Reactions. – Eben auf die Musik als solche. Ich bin Tull Fan seit (ungefähr) 1972, als mein Bruder bei SWF3 (nicht SWR3!) «Thick as a Brick» vom Radio auf Kassette mitgeschnitten hatte: ich hab die Kassette konfisziert! Und es ist immer noch «einfach nur geile Musik». Zuletzt mit Rökflöte.

25.1.2026 – Es ist wieder mal eine Ergänzung fällig…
Selbst mir – als eingefleischtem Tull-Fan – kommen immer wieder mal neue Einblicke. Hier am Beispiel des Albums «Minstrel in the Gallery«:

«Minstrel In The Gallery is as much a masterpiece album as Aqualung, Thick As A Brick, Songs From The Wood, Heavy Horses. Ian Anderson has wrote so many great works, Minstrel including Baker St Muse (hier in der Review von @Nathan on Shuffle)… Baker St Muse definitely goes well with breakfast too.
Von: @michaelbaucom4019

«This album [Minstrel In The Gallery] has a special feel because it’s probably the most personal album Ian wrote for Tull. It’s all about his divorce, sometimes directly like with One White Duck or Black Satin Dancer, and sometimes it’s about the fallout from that divorce like Baker Street Muse. But it’s probably the fewest layers of ironic detachment between Ian and his listener that I think I’ve ever heard. It’s interesting to see him allow himself to be a little vulnerable. One white duck is my favorite example. It’s one thing to look back in sorrow at a failed marriage in your music, it’s another to admit that the entire failure was your own fault in that music. That song succeeds in making you far more sympathetic to his ex-wife than to him. That’s some serious art.» Von: @HollowGolem

Einer der besten Interpreten von Jethro Tull respektive Ian Anderson ist Steward Wood. So z. B. auch der Salamader:

‚Salamander‘ vom Album Too Young to Rock’n Roll, too young to die

Thick as a Brick by Billy Strings:

‚Baker Street Muse‘ vom Album Minstrel in the Gallery
