I just got the new programme from the TAAB 2 tour, and in Ian's profile it says he will be releasing new solo recordings in 2012 and 2013! Has he mentioned this in any interviews?

www.themortonreport.com/entertainment/music/sex-politics-and-death-ian-anderson-on-thick-as-a-brick2-part-three/Ian Anderson - The projects I’m working on this year, well, essentially there are three things that I’m working towards. One of them, there’s a bit of a start made already, which is an album of essentially string quartet music of Jethro Tull repertoire, done by a string quartet with my input, playing the flute. And that’s something I’m working on in collaboration with our keyboard player, John O’Hara. So, we’ve arranged some stuff already, and we will do that. And doubtless it will be played at people’s weddings and funerals. It won’t be a high profile, high selling album, but it will be a very, very nice way of listening to Jethro Tull’s mainstream repertoire in a context that is, I think, creatively different. So, that’s something we’re working on. And I have in mind to do some real singer-songwriter material[/b]. I mean something really striped down to being just guitar and voice for the most part, and very little else—just really, really minimal stuff. That obviously requires writing the music, and being energized to write the music, and may well have a sort of conceptual thing behind it, but it’s a little early to say what that might be, musically. And I have one other project which I would really set aside for probably 2013, which is kind of a hard rock album. I wouldn’t mind just doing…well, I suppose you might say, justifying that hard rock/heavy metal Grammy that we won all those years ago. [Laughs] Maybe the time has come to actually say, “You know? All right, maybe we are a hard rock/metal band.” I think I’d quite like to do one that’s kind of that full-on raging music. But whether I want to another whole album, or maybe just do a big 20-minute song, I don’t know. But those are three projects that I have in mind, and that’s a couple of years’ worth of work, really. I don’t think it’s wise for me to look much beyond that at the moment, especially since 2013 touring will probably take us on down into the southern hemisphere, and may well bring us back to the USA the early summer of 2013. It’s quite a long time to look ahead itself. But cast your thoughts forward from that to 2014 and ’15, that’s probably about… My god, what will I be then? I’ll be 68 in 2015, and I would think if I make 70 as a professional musician, I’d be pretty pleased. And, these days, with the miracles of modern science, who knows? It could even go on a bit longer.

Must admit I'm looking forward to the string quartet work. Lots of flute for me to learn

Sounds to me like the band Jethro Tull is history. www.themortonreport.com/entertainment/music/sex-politics-and-death-ian-anderson-on-thick-as-a-brick2-part-three/Ian Anderson - <snip> But those are three projects that I have in mind, and that’s a couple of years’ worth of work, really.

From TullCentral: . . . . the Icelandic concert was recorded and the sound has to be mixed and balanced etc. After the footage has been screened on TV in Iceland, a decision will be made as to whether the footage will be used as an official DVD release

History is always full of anomalies. When Ian Anderson retires if ever, alot will be written about the history of Jethro Tull. For most fans, the line between solo and group performances is always blurred. Once Ian had his marquee say Ian Anderson only. Now it says Jethro Tull's Ian Anderson. Or Ian Anderson's Jethro Tull as was done in recent South American tours. Whatever gets produced, it sounds like Tull to me. I guess it's complicated being a Tull Fan.

Or it can be a very simple thing. I hope Ian writes his autobiography and covers all thats been questioned and commented on over the years. We can start a thread on what we would like him to write about. ;D

If he ever writes an autobiography, do you really think it will really be the truth?

I feel JETRO TULL was truly a "band" from 1972-1975 w/ the one, consistent lineup of Anderson, Barre, Evan, Hammond and Barlow imo

Hi all. Recently, I heard rumors about a new Album coming in for the 2014, Ian. In fact he had already spoken to the presentation of 2 TaaB. Someone knows more than me?

Don't reckon anyone knows for sure what maybe for 2014. IA's mentioned an acoustic album for next year so putting 2 and 2 together and making 5, if TAAB3 is actually planned as stated in the Janice Long interview I suppose he could make that the acoustic finale of the TAAB trilogy which could well be interesting and worthwhile.

Thanks Maddog, we will see later what Ian has prepared for us.

I haven't heard those recordings yet, so I am still on the fence as to my final judgement.

I would rather see Ian do another solo album in the vain of SLOB or Rupi's Dance with some simple uplifing songs Brick 3 ,leave it alone!!!

Clearly the next recording project won't be a "Tull" record, if Ian "wrote it in January" and did demos in February, with, in his mind, only a few adjustments needed. If it's TAAB3, which it probably is, if the creative process didn't involve anyone else, the product sure won't sound like it. Thoughts, at this early stage, in reaction to this news?
