Jethro Tull Heavy Horses: In-depth

By 1978, the landscape of pop music had changed considerably since Jethro Tulls earlier hit albums Aqualung (1971) and Thick As A Brick (1972). Punk, disco and new wave were in and progressive rocks heyday was over. Despite all of this, during the year of the bands tenth anniversary, a cohesive line-up of Jethro Tull worked happily together to release the successful studio album, Heavy Horses. In this book, author Laura Shenton MA LLCM DipRSL offers an in-depth perspective on Heavy Horses from a range of angles including how the album came to be, how it was presented and received at the time (live as well as on record), and what it means in terms of Jethro Tulls legacy today.
