Too Old To Rock 'N' Roll: Too Young To Die!
Jethro Tull
The band moves toward a tighter, blues-influenced rock style on this project. By integrating their complex progressive history with a folk-based edge, they reflect the common sounds of the mid-seventies British market.
Narrative songwriting provides the framework for these tracks. The work functions as a commentary on the passage of time, maintaining a defiant attitude throughout the compositions. It represents a shift in focus for the group as they moved away from their earlier, more expansive arrangements.
