Since the 1960s, British progressive rock band Jethro Tull has pushed
the technical and compositional boundaries of rock music by infusing its
musical output with traditions drawn from classical, folk, jazz, and
world music. The release of Thick as a Brick (1972) and A Passion Play
(1973) won the group legions of new followers and topped the Billboard
charts in the United States, among the most unusual albums ever to do
so. Tim Smolko explores the large-scale form, expansive instrumentation,
and complex arrangements that characterize these two albums, each
composed of one continuous song. Featuring insights from Ian Anderson
and in-depth musical analysis, Smolko discusses the band's influence on
popular culture and why many consider Thick as a Brick and A Passion Play to be two of the greatest concept albums in rock history.
