Rock Island | Jethro Tull | The Hard Rock Continuation

Описание: By 1989, Jethro Tull had already survived shifting trends, a divisive Grammy win, and a near career-ending vocal crisis. Rock Island was their answer. Not a reinvention, but a reaffirmation.

In this decode, the punchy swagger of Kissing Willie, the dark foreboding of Heavy Water, the cinematic weight of The Whaler's Dues, and almost everything in between. We also explore what makes Rock Island a confident late-period statement, guitar-driven, focused, and unmistakably Tull.
Is it a dependable favourite, or a chapter overshadowed by earlier classics? That's the question.
