Jethro Tull's Martin Barre announces new solo album 'Roads Less Travelled'
Martin Barre, best-known as the guitarist of Jethro Tull, is all set to release his new solo album. Titled 'Roads Less Travelled', the album arrives via RSK in the UK on 5th October and Cleopatra Records on 12th October in the USA. It is Barre's sixth solo studio effort, a follow up to 2015's 'Back To Steel'. Barre has developed his own distinctive style within the framework of Jethro Tull, and his instantly recognizable and original sound form the basis of this album. Roads Less Travelled features 11 original tracks by Barre, which reflect the last 50 years of his esteemed musical career.
Reflecting on the tracks and recording of the album, Barre says, “I’ve concentrated on improving my songwriting over the last few years and as a result, I am really pleased with this new CD. Although my playing has a lot of space in the music, I’ve worked a lot harder on the arrangements and lyrics. My goal is to have a CD that keeps the listener from beginning to end. 'Roads Less Travelled' reflects my belief in taking music somewhere new.”
