Jethro Tull - killer riffs with a flute player standing on one leg

Send us a message, so we know what you're thinking!

 Jethro Tull is one of the stranger turns taken by rock music over more than 50 years. Mick and Jeff look back at some of the band’s best work, and, maybe, some of their strangest. 

The “Album You Must Hear Before You Die” is Queen II, a sensational album released the year before Queen took over the world!  Both Mick & Jeff love it! 

Jeff takes a look at what AI is doing to music.  We’re not worried, because, as Joe Walsh says, AI can’t even trash a hotel room!  While he's at it, Jeff then looks at who is “knocking on Heaven’s door” this month. 

Yet another very full episode!
