Description

Thick As A Brick: A Masterpiece Revisited In 1972, Jethro Tull released an album that defied conventions - Thick As A Brick. Spanning two sides with no gaps in between, the song was both innovative and provocative. Despite Ian Anderson's tongue-in-cheek description as a "spoof", the album has endured as a landmark of progressive rock. This book offers a detailed exploration of Thick As A Brick, examining its creation, presentation, and reception at the time. Drawing on contemporary interviews with the artists, Laura Shenton delves into the musical and commercial context of the album's release. With a focus on the artist's intentions and the album's lasting legacy, this in-depth analysis is accessible to both music enthusiasts and non-musicians alike. By exploring the making of Thick As A Brick, Shenton sheds light on Jethro Tull's innovative spirit and enduring influence.
