As the spark advance guitar player for Jethro Tull, Martin Barre has been joined at the hip to Ian Anderson since 1969, when he replaced Mick Abrahams in the group's lineup. His playing has provided practically of the energy that allows the band to soar on record and in concert amid the knockout of Anderson's melodies and the complexity of his lyrics, and played no small persona in portion the stager band (some would say "dinosaur") make headway the 1988 Grammy for Best Hard Rock Album for Crest of a Knave. Anderson himself has been quoted as locution, "Without Martin Barre, Jethro Tull could not be."
Barre's solo run was confined to his home studio until he assembled a band to play some charity gigs in the early 1990s. Since then, he has recorded a partner off of albums that allow him to stretch stunned in directions that Tull unremarkably doesn't license, and to put his instrument into new sounds, genres, and musical contexts.
