Main Page | See live article | Alphabetical index Stand Up is the second album by Jethro Tull (band). Following an awkward start as a Blues-influenced band, Stand Up represents the first album where leader Ian Anderson is in full control of the music and lyrics. The album goes in a different direction, introducing influences from Celtic folk and classical music. It reached #1 on the British Charts. Track Listing A New Day Yesterday Jeffery Goes To Leicester Square Bourree Back To The Family Look Into The Sun Nothing Is Easy Fat Man We Used To Know Reasons For Waiting For A Thousand Mothers The instrumental "Bourree" is one of Jethro Tull's better-known songs, and is a re-working of a melody by J.S.Bach. The song "We Used to Know" may have been the inspiration for the Eagles' 1976 hit song "Hotel California". The chord progressions are nearly identical, and the bands toured together prior to the release of "Hotel". This article is from Wikipedia.
