Jethro Tull - This Was

Jethro Tull's first album THIS WAS, is a debut of incredible maturity that fitted in nicely between blues and prog. Guitarist Mick Abrahams was the darling of the UK rock clubs, and for a brief moment held a candle to Clapton, especially with his showpiece "Cat's Squirrel". Abrahams soon left to form Blodwyn Pig. Singer Ian Anderson, the undisputed leader, wore a ratty overcoat, played flute, and pranced like a mad elf. Live they were tremendous, and on record they got even better. "Song For Jeffrey" was the choice single. Other interesting tracks are the flute-led "Serenade For a Cuckoo" (written by Roland Kirk) and "Dharma For One", with that greatest of rarities--an interesting drum solo.

Q (7/99, p.140)
- 4 stars out of 5 - "...It's a band escaping from its bedroom blues, experimenting with the free progressive vibe, dipping into some officially crazy jazz structures and coming up with a sound that's unique....THIS WAS caught [TULL] at the peak of their unbridled creativity."
