Jethro Tull released "The Tipu House," as a teaser to the new album "Curious Ruminant," that comes out Friday!
The album will bring back the band's folk-rock roots, with a good ol flute solo.
"Our societies are filled with those who have risen from relative poverty to positions of greatness in the world and their successes are a beacon of hope for the rest of us, even if 'greatness' is a relative concept at the end of it all," Ian Anderson said.
‘Curious Ruminant, is a nine track release, featuring former keyboardist Andrew Giddings and drummer James Duncan, along with the current members David Goodier, John O'Hara, Scott Hammond and, guitarist Jack Clark, who's making his debut with the band.
