As the lead guitarist for Jethro Tull, Martin Barre has been joined at the hip to Ian Anderson since 1969, when he replaced Mick Abrahams in the group's lineup. His playing has provided much of the energy that allows the band to soar on record and in concert amid the beauty of Anderson's melodies and the complexity of his lyrics. 50 Years Of Jethro Tull, originally released in 2019 on UK's Garage Records is a wonderful showcase for the great Martin Barre. Barre does 28 classic Tull cuts and more than successfully recreates them as his own. Martin Barre is one of the best guitarists in Rock and this album is a tribute to both his skills and Jethro Tull as well.

The only record of this British band was released in January 1969 by Pye Records and no doubt its one of the most interesting but also the most underrated progressive albums of an era. Their music is a typical example of late-psych/early-prog underground stuff, with tasty guitar work, nices flute and saxophone passages, occasional Hammond organ work, trippy vocals and swinging, but very powerfull rhythm section. It can be compared to early Jethro Tull (circa 1968), East Of Eden's debut LP and first two Family albums. Sadly, the lack of promotion and poor album sales brought an end to one of the most impressive bands of those times. A few years later vocalist/guitarist Rik Kenton played bass in Roxy Music on their classic ‘Virginia Plain’ single. This CD edition was mastered from the original vinyl.
This three-disc box set is targeted at fans, containing more than its share of album tracks, rarities, live cuts, and interview segments…
Jethro Tull was a unique phenomenon in popular music history. Their mix of hard rock; folk melodies; blues licks; surreal, impossibly dense lyrics; and overall profundity defied easy analysis, but that didn't dissuade fans from giving them 11 gold and five platinum albums…
