Marking half a century since its release, this 50th anniversary edition of Minstrel in the Gallery revisits Jethro Tull at their most intimate and ornate.
Recorded in 1975 while the band were living in tax exile in Monte Carlo, it was the first Tull album made outside Britain, cut with their own mobile studio at a hotel whose balcony inspired the title. Ian Anderson produced, with Martin Barre, John Evan, Jeffrey Hammond and Barriemore Barlow in the lineup, and Dee Palmer arranged and conducted a small string ensemble that threads through the record. It was Hammond's final album with the band.
The title track opens with a gentle acoustic preamble before Barre's electric guitar bursts in, a neat summary of the album's push and pull between folk delicacy and hard rock muscle. "Cold Wind to Valhalla" borrows from Norse myth, "Requiem" is a hushed, string-laced ballad, and the sprawling "Baker St. Muse" suite wanders London's streets with wry, introspective lyrics and constantly shifting moods.
Anderson's flute and acoustic guitar sit at the heart of it all, and the writing ranks among the most introspective of his career.
Wrapped in its rowdy great-hall revels, it is a rewarding listen for prog fans and folk rock devotees alike.
