Minstrel in the Gallery (1975) is an album by British band Jethro Tull. It is the eighth studio album by the band, released in September 1975.
Ian Andersons lyrics and subject matter show an introspective and cynical air, possibly the byproduct of Andersons recent divorce from first wife Jennie Franks and the pressures of touring, coupled with the frustrations of writing for and recording the album in Monte Carlo. The title refers to the use of a minstrel's gallery in the great hall of castles or manor houses.
Stylistically the album is varied. The songs "Minstrel In The Gallery", "Black Satin Dancer" are hard-rock, although "Minstrel", like another track, "Cold Wind to Valhalla", starts with several acoustic verses that are basically identical in structure to the main, hard rock section Read full article at wikipedia.org
