Benefit by Jethro Tull
About the album Benefit
Benefit, recorded between September 1969 and February 1970, the third studio album of Jethro Tull is a blend of hard rock and folk rock. The pianist and organist John Evan, who had just been hired by the band, brings a significant change to the timbre of Jethro Tull. The album was released in April 1970 by Chrysalis Records.
Ian Anderson composed ten songs for Benefit, which are "darker" than those of Stand Up from the previous year. The album's production is done by Anderson himself in collaboration with Terry Ellis. Ian Anderson has stated that Benefit is an album based on guitar riffs, riffs that resemble those of Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin. The one and only single from the album was Inside.
The album reached No. 2 in Great Britain and No. 11 on the Billboard chart.
