I love the vocals alot also... reminds of Ian Anderson style

Ian Anderson? ..I must say I don't know him

and then when I looked at Wiki I read that he was the singer of Jethro Tull... so I must have known him a bit in the 70s
Ian Anderson is a singer with a nasal voice but remarkably accurate (according to wiki) and multi-instrumentalist he plays the transverse flute (it's a bit of a trademark) but also keyboards, acoustic, electric and bass guitar, bouzouki, balalaika, harmonica, saxophone and various whistles.
His biography on wiki is impressive and he is therefore a musician who is quite unknown and to be (re)discovered

according to a search in the SC archives, it seems that the biggest fan of Ian Anderson and jethro tull is..Stephen M

drôle JP... parce qu'il était anglais et que de nombreux créateurs de chansons viennent de là-bas, d'Écosse ou d'Irlande... Je pense que ce que j'apprends, c'est que de nombreux groupes qui étaient énormes aux États-Unis, et Jethro Tull l'était, n'étaient pas aimés en leur pays d'origine. J'ai commencé à remarquer cela avec d'autres aussi. Je ne sais pas si lui et eux étaient juste trop différents. Certains de ses meilleurs travaux étaient en solo, un album nommé "Made In England"...
Il fut un temps où vous ne pouviez pas allumer la radio aux États-Unis et ne pas entendre une chanson de Jethro Tull. Ils ont même fait quelques-unes des stations pop avec une chanson, une super chanson aussi appelée "Bungle In Jungle". Je dirai que je résonne peut-être avec de la musique comme ça parce que je suis une génération d'Angleterre du côté de mon père car mes deux grands-parents sont venus au Canada (puis aux États-Unis) quand ils étaient enfants, aussi du côté de ma mère étaient très gallois. Je le mentionnerai peut-être à nouveau bientôt alors que je fais une reprise de "Locomotive Breath".


funny JP... because he was an Englishman and many Songcrafters are from there or Scotland or Ireland... I think what I am learning is that many bands who were huge in the US, and Jethro Tull was, weren't beloved in their home country.  I started to notice this with some others as well.  I don't know if he and they were just to different.  Some of his best work was solo, an album named "Made In England"....
There was a time when you could not turn on the radio in the US and not hear a Jethro Tull song.  They even made some of the pop stations with a song, a great song too called "Bungle In Jungle."  I will say that perhaps I resonate some with music like that because I am one generation from England on my dad's side as both my grandparents came to Canada (and then the US) as children, also my mom's side were very Welch.  I might be, will be mentioning him soon again as I am doing a cover of "Locomotive Breath."
