Jethro Tull- Minstrel in the Gallery 50th/Songs from the Wood- Ian Anderson

"Minstrel in the Gallery", released fifty yeas ago, and "Songs from the Wood" released in February 1977, were already the English folk/progressive rocker's ninth and tenth albums. There was nothing then that sounded remotely like the ancient pastoral songs and instrumentation on "Minstrel in the Gallery" and "Songs from the Wood" playing on the all-important American rock radio. Ian Anderson is my guest In the Studio  for "Minstrel in th Gallery" 's 50th anniversary.
