A word from Ian Anderson on '8314 Boxed':
Since 1983, I have made a few solo albums, not as dissatisfaction with fellow musicians or the group identity but usually just to try something a bit different, whether sonically, stylistically or in terms of instrumental line-up. These records all stand out for me as being quite different from each other & in some ways demonstrate a broader depth of my songwriting. The flute instrumental Divinities record is one of my favourites to this day
Jethro Tull continue to enjoy success in the studio & live, with their most recent 2023 release 'Rokflote' charting worldwide.
