Jethro Tull Stormwatch 180g LP

Stormwatch is the twelfth studio album by Jethro Tull (1979). It is considered the final piece in the band's folk-rock trilogy after the release of Songs From The Wood in 1977 and Heavy Horses in 1978 (although folk music influenced virtually every Tull album). Among other subject matter, the album touches heavily on the problems relating to the environment, oil and money.

This is the last Tull album to feature the classic 1970s line-up. Bassist John Glascock, suffering at this point from the effects of a cardiac infection that eventually led to his death, is only featured on three tracks ("Flying Dutchman", "Orion" and "Elegy"). Ian Anderson played bass elsewhere on the album while Dave Pegg played on the subsequent tour. Drummer Barriemore Barlow and keyboard players John Evan and Dee Palmer left the band the following year the Stormwatch tour.
