The album 'Curious Ruminant' marks Jethro Tull's third studio release in less than three and a half years, showcasing Ian Anderson's prolific creativity at age 77.
Returning to its 1970s roots, the album incorporates stronger folk influences and prominent flute performances, a hallmark of the band's early sound.
