Ian Anderson isn't finished with Gerald Bostock, a mythical character whose poetry was said to have inspired Jethro Tull's legendary 1972 prog classic 'Thick as a Brick.'
Ian Anderson promises new music in 2014. And while he knows what direction the project will take (it's a concept album), details -- like whether or not it will be a solo record or a Jethro Tull LP -- are still up in the air. Either way, Anderson says it will be a folk-prog-metal hybrid.
Jethro Tull front man Ian Anderson presented the crowd with both a full dose of nostalgia, and a new musical challenge in Nashville on Tuesday night (Oct. 30). Performing both the classic Tull album 'Thick as a Brick' and his new solo sequel 'Thick as a Brick 2' in their entirety, Anderson pulled off the unlikely feat of topping his past success with his newest work.
