Stand Up

Jethro Tull

A pivotal pivot from blues to eccentric English folk-rock. Flute-led melodies weave through mandolins and heavy riffs with a distinct autumnal warmth.

August 1, 1969 · Reprise Records

A spirited and slightly eccentric blend of pastoral folk warmth and defiant rock energy.

Moments Worth Listening For
The transition from the elegant Bach-inspired flute melody into a swinging, jazz-inflected bass groove on Bourée.
The sudden shift from delicate acoustic picking to heavy, distorted electric riffs in Back to the Family.
The way the flute mimics the vocal phrasing during the defiant bridge of For a Thousand Mothers.
