Even as they began to fancy themselves as codpiece-wearing Elizabethan minstrels in the gallery, Jethro Tull was a blues-based hard-rock group, and an explosive one, at that. On Stand Up, they enjoy the best of both worlds, with lighter fare such as "Jeffrey Goes to Leicester Square" and a jazzy instrumental take on J. S. Bach's "Bouree" mixing nicely with the blistering rock of "A New Day Yesterday," "Nothing Is Easy," and "For a Thousand Mothers." On Stand Up, the group's second album, you can hear the band, and the grand scheme behind it, begin to solidify. --Daniel Durchholz

 Retrieving my youth... November 23, 2008

This is one of the albums I liked in the 70's. Great to listen to on motorcycle rides...

This one takes me back to my high school days which were good times. Some of the best memories from those days of my youth were spent discovering new musical sounds and nothing was as unique as Jethro Tull. Who in their right mind would name their band Jethro anything? These guys were not only tight rockers but they also had a flute player! The vocals were unique as well almost demanding the listener's attention. Nice grooves kept my feet tapping thanks to some great up front bass and drums and that guitar player just flat out smoked. They also had a good twisted sense of humor (Fat Man). A lot of people like to rave about the classical cum rock tune Bouree and I concur that it is infectious much like chocolate. These wonderful tunes represent a fruitful musical time in history. There were many talented fellows coming out of England in my opinion and Jethro Tull helped make a name for themselves with this album. I will not attempt to categorize their style of music because that category would only include one band. Well done lads. Highly Recommended! - Ciao

I was a freshman at Valley Jr. College in Van Nuys, CA and one fine warm winter morning I heard the opening chords of "We Used to Know" ringing out on a 12 string guitar. A very lovely young lady was sitting on the grass strumming those chords with her eyes closed. She was dressed in sandals, blue jeans and a peasant shirt. When she opened he mouth to sing I thought that Joan Baez had taken possession of this girl's body. But it was better than Baez. It was ethereal and magical. I sat down to better appreciate the moment. It was a moment that stays with you your entire life. I drank i n the entire scene-- every note, every chord, every word right down to the last verse, "Each to his own way, I'll go mine/Best of luck with what you find/But for your own sake remember the times we used to know." I stood up and want to go thank her but I was afraid if I did everything would vanish and I would wake up to discover that it was all just a dream. In a way it was. The entire era seems very dream like. So if you missed it or older music fans, if you miss it, Stand Up is a very nice souvenir of that time and the music still stands.
This is really the first "Tull" album October 1, 2007

If you're a Tull fan and have decided to amass their discogrpahy, I recommended starting here, and not with "This Was." "This Was", Tull's first album, has a much more disorganized bluesy feel that the band slowly started to lose in favor of a more progressive folk-hard rock sound. This Was, while good, does not do Tull justice as far as giving the listener an idea of who Jethro Tull was at the height of their popularity in the 1970's. The album is clearly separated into its more bluesy songs that their original guitarist favored, and the folksy flute-led instrumentals that would become a component of the band's trademark progressive-folk sound. Stand Up, the band's second album lays the groundwork that Tull would build upon in their classic albums "Aqualung" and the concept album "Thick as a Brick." I especially recommend the whimsical "Look Into the Sun" as it is probably my favorite Tull song.

Jethro Tull's 1969 release, Stand Up, was the band's second album officially, but the first to feature what came to be the classic Tull lineup. This is probably my 2nd favorite Tull album, number one being Aqualung. Stand Up reminds me of two other bands that were making outstanding music during that same time frame- Stand Up to me sounds kind of like a mix of Cream and Black Sabbath, but with the addition of a classical influence and a dash of folk thrown in. This album has some great lead guitar playing, a few cool drum solos, and Ian Anderson's vocals- he was in his prime here vocally and also becoming comfortable in his lyrics and writing. This is also the debut of the true instantly recognizable "Jethro Tull sound."
