In 2012 Ian Anderson released 'Thick As A Brick 2', the follow-up to Jethro Tull's legendary concept album. The album was a critical and commercial success, charting around the world. In April 2014 he returned with the UK top 20 album 'Homo Erraticus'. The original 'Thick As A Brick' album, released in 1972, was based around the poem of disgraced child prodigy Gerald Bostock. For 'Homo Erraticus' Anderson is reunited with Bostock, using lyrics written by Gerald based on an old historical manuscript. The manuscript examines key events from throughout British history before going on to offer several prophecies for the future.
