Episode 30 - 'Aqualung' by Jethro Tull (1971)
‘My God!’
In early 1970, Ian Anderson and his wife came upon a homeless man - whom she photographed and whom Ian dubbed ‘Aqualung’. The seemingly insignificant event would be like the falling of small stones that start an avalanche - for the interaction would inspire Ian Anderson to question his societal status, his childhood, his religion and, most importantly, his diety.
Jethro Tull’s fourth studio album, ‘Aqualung’, came out in early 1971 and was a fantastic deviation from what the world saw as ‘Prog Rock’ at the time. With a variety of stylistic influences and inspiration - this album combined Classical orchestration and instrumentation, Prog melodies and phrasing, Hard Rock and Heavy Metal riffs and Blues-y structures combined with philosophical, personal lyrics to become one of the most renowned and revered Prog Rock albums of all time.
