...Stewart is one of the two or three finest and most popular of the current crop of English pop composer-singers, a wise, witty, upbeat force who neatly counterpoints Mick Jagger's pervading and well-publicized sympathy for the devil. As a soloist, Stewart displays one of those rare voices-a raspy, surcharged cross between Joe Cocker and Rod McKuen-that is instantly recognizable and that can draw all sorts of emotional magic from his own songs (Maggie May, Every Picture Tells a Story) as well as standards by Dylan (Only a Hobo) and Elton John (Country Comfort...
Jethro Tull. More in line is "Ian Anderson with...." because Tull's not much more than that now.

...achieve an atmosphere of barely controlled chaos within his music. He succeeded almost immediately. And to insure that success, he's kept his solo album band intact. The crudeness he achieves on record is as much studied as it is technical. And much of that crudeness stems from Mick Waller's drumming. Harsh and brazen, solid and simple, Waller is the backbone of the sound. To add to its crudity, the drums are mixed very prominently; when you hear a song, the drums while not completely separated on your stereo, are always very loud, and "up front" in the total...
