Crest of a Knave

by Jethro Tull

Revitalizing their career with a polished, synthesizer-heavy production, Jethro Tull successfully blended their signature acoustic folk-rock with mainstream AOR sensibilities. The album heavily features Martin Barre's soaring electric guitar lines alongside Ian Anderson's cynical, sexually charged lyricism and iconic flute playing. 'Crest of a Knave' famously and controversially won the first-ever Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance.
