Jethro Tull - Stand Up(1969)

Stand Up is the second album by Jethro Tull. Prior to this album, original guitarist Mick Abrahams had left the band due to musical conflicts with Ian Anderson. Abrahams wanted to stay with the blues-rock sound of This Was, while Anderson wished to branch out into other musical forms. Stand Up represents the first album where Anderson is in full control of the music and lyrics. The album goes in a different direction, introducing influences from Celtic music, folk and classical music. It reached #1 on the British charts. The album cover, originally a woodcut designed by artist James Grashow, opened up and the band's personnel stood up, similar to a child's pop-up book, linking into the album's title.

Personnel
Glenn Cornick: bass guitar
Clive Bunker: drums, percussion
Martin Lancelot Barre: electric guitar, flute
Ian Anderson: flute, acoustic guitar, Hammond organ, piano, balalaika, mouth organ, vocals

The instrumental "Bourée" is one of Jethro Tull's better-known songs, and is a re-working of Bourrée in E minor 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".
