After the success of their folk-rock trilogy, Jethro Tull made a bold return in 1980 with ‘A’. This album marked a significant shift in sound and introduced a new lineup. Initially conceived as a solo project by Ian Anderson, the title ‘A’ reflects the studio tapes labeled for Anderson himself. Despite the changes, the album was released under the Jethro Tull name by Chrysalis Records, featuring only Anderson and guitarist Martin Barre from the original lineup.
Fans embraced the innovative direction of ‘A’, which showcased tracks like Crossfire, Fylingdale Flyer, and Working John, Working Joe. This record is not only a reflection of Jethro Tull’s evolution but also a key addition to any collection of rock albums.
