Listen to Kirk Windstein Cover JETHRO TULL’s ‘Aqualung’

21 January 2020

Southern metal icon Kirk Windstein, of CROWBAR and DOWN fame, will release his debut solo album Dream in Motion on Jan. 24 via Entertainment One.

The 10-track work closes with a cover of JETHRO TULL 1971 classic “Aqualung,” from the album of the same name, which you can hear exclusively via UCR below.

“‘Aqualung’ has always been one of my favorite classic rock songs,” Windstein tells UCR. “CROWBAR used to cover it. Because everything’s in D Standard, I was able to pick out the natural key that the song’s in, so it’s exactly like the JETHRO TULL version. That guitar solo was named the Number 25 Greatest Solo of All Time on a readers poll in Guitar World or something. I’m really proud of the way the song came out as a whole. I think I did a good job on it. I hope that TULL’s Ian Anderson and Martin Barre get to hear it at some point.”
