Ian Anderson’s New Year’s Greeting

progfetish — Thu, 03 Jan 2008 15:44:31 +0000

Ian has posted a lengthy New Year’s Greeting to his online diary:

The 40th Anniversary of Jethro Tull is upon us in February 2008. Having initially thought that it was all best avoided in any reference to our upcoming concert tours, I slowly changed my mind after chatting to the others in the band and to some of the fans. Now I have agreed that we will celebrate the tours with a full laser light show, a dancing troupe of honed and bronzed young men fresh from the Madonna boudoir, 60 foot inflatable flute-phallus on stage, Chinese acrobats and fireworks nightly â€“ and â€“ live prostate examinations for lucky competition-winners during the concert intermission.

Ian Anderson in Acoustic Magazine

The current issue of Acoustic Magazine chats with Ian about his new acoustic album, current tour and his music, of course. There’s also some speculation of a new Tull album in the Fall.

Can you tell us about the new album, The Best Of Acoustic Jethro Tull and what else Jethro Tull are up to?

Itâ€™s basically a selection of acoustic Jethro Tull stuff, spread through the years with a couple of recently recorded bonus tracks which are re-recordings of songs weâ€™d done The Best of Acoustic Jethro Tull front coversomewhere in the past. Thereâ€™s also a Jethro Tull Live In Montreux DVD scheduled for release later this year and another one that is recordings from various German concerts through the years â€“ all live recordings that have never been released. Then thereâ€™s a new album which Iâ€™m about to start work on which will be recorded on and off over the next few months because we have some tours coming up, but it will be scheduled for release in September.
