After being released two years ago for the UK market, the fully authorized Jethro Tull story is finally being released for the U.S. market on January 19, 2010.

Newly Remastered Jethro Tull Book Released
Author Alan Hodgson has finished a re-issue of his book The Phantoms of 3000 Years. This title is a must-have for any Jethro Tull fan who wishes to get more in touch with the immense folk-tale-lyric side of the band. With a poetic tone of its own, and backed by thorough research, Alan's book provides us with intriguing tales of witches, knights, and men in green tights...
Ian Anderson and the Tull lineup are scheduled to headline the Maryport Blues Festival. The festival takes place July 24-26 in Maryport, UK, and is hailed as a combination of great music, summer weather, natural Cumbrian friendlieness, and of course, good beer! Jethro Tull will share the headline with Taj Mahal, and John Mayall, Godfather of British Blues.
Ian Anderson has recently given us some detail on a new "Jethro Tull" album to come this fall. During an interview with the UK magazine "Acoustic", Ian mentions that "...at this particular point in time, it is my intention that there will be three or four tracks(on the new album) that will feature a chamber orchestra and there will be some acoustic music and some electric music, so it will be fairly eclectic and unfocused rather than rekindle prog-rock moments from 1972". Ian is noncommittal as to whether this will be a Jethro Tull album or a solo album, mentioning that there will be a "Jethro Tull component" to it. Look for the album to be released this September.

Anderson Releases Acoustic Tull Gems
Ian Anderson releases
hand-picked (and remastered) versions of Jethro Tull's acoustic gems. Even
though it is labeled as a Tull release, the CD also includes some of Ian's
solo works, but hey, the acoustic department in Jethro Tull has always
been Ian's territory at any rate. This also marks the first release that
is available for download purchase. If you are an iTunes user, just search
for Jethro Tull in your iTunes program and you may be surprised to find
the (nearly) complete catalogue is now available.
Coming to a stage near you
this summer, Ian Anderson backed by an orchestra. Ian will be playing
about a dozen shows in the U.S. this summer (July-August) backed by an
orchestra. The shows will be played with different orchestras at each
venue and stops include Atlanta, GA, Boston, MA and Los Angeles CA. Check
