It has come to our intention that others are trying to profit from the sale of Jethro Tull branded so-called face masks, some claiming to offer protection against the COVID disease. We wish to entirely disassociate ourselves from any such product.
We are pleased to launch our new single The Navigators! ⚓
The lyrics for this song explore the Norse god Njord, who was the god of wealth, fertility, the sea and seafaring.

Silent Singing by Ian Anderson:
For the first time, Jethro Tull founder, singer, songwriter and photographer Ian Anderson has gathered together the complete lyrics from all of the Tull and solo albums in one volume.
The three original reel tape boxes from the Château D'Hérouville sessions, presented in what is believed to be the original running order. Although damaged and faded, the boxes reveal key information including reel assembly dates, album notes and original song titles.
