  • "A Song for Jeffrey" is a song recorded by the English progressive rock band Jethro Tull, released as their second single in the U.K. However, in the U.S., it was the B-side to "Love Story". It is written in honour of Ian Anderson's friend and future Jethro Tull bassist Jeffrey Hammond. Another version of the song was recorded for play on BBC radio. The song starts off with a bass riff by Glenn Cornick before Ian Anderson's flute comes in. It then becomes a psychedelic blues tune, with guitarist Mick Abrahams playing slide guitar. Despite being similar in style to "My Sunday Feeling" and "Beggar's Farm", the instrumental section shows a greater influence of jazz rather than blues. The song was largely praised by music critics. AllMusic's Bruce Eder called it "a superb example of commercial psychedelic blues" but did not consider it one of the album highlights. George Starostin called it one of the "catchiest ditties the band ever did: the interplay between the bloozy guitar and the poppy harmonica is amazing and promptly digs itself into your memory". Despite the single not reaching the charts, New Musical Express wrote that it was "good enough to have made the Chart". "A Song for Jeffrey" was ranked the 25th best Jethro Tull song by Rock – Das Gesamtwerk der größten Rock-Acts im Check. The song was performed on the Rolling Stones Rock 'n' Roll Circus in December 1968, although only Ian Anderson's vocals and flute were actually amplified from the live performance; the rest of the band mimed their parts, but the sound was pre-recorded. This was the only Tull performance with guitarist Tony Iommi during his two-week tenure with the band, and it has been suggested that he had not had time to learn his part and thus relied on Abrahams' recording. This version was officially released on the companion album to the film in 1996. (en)

  • Song for Jeffrey (noto anche come A Song for Jeffrey) è un singolo del 1968 dei Jethro Tull, presente nell'album This Was, composta da Ian Anderson. È stata anche pubblicata come singolo su 45 giri, avendo sul lato B One for John Gee. Il pezzo, come sostenuto più volte dallo stesso Anderson in vari concerti, è dedicato ad un amico di Blackpool, Jeffrey Hammond il quale, insieme a John Evan, Ian Anderson e Barriemore Barlow, aveva suonato come bassista in due band giovanili di Blackpool, The Blades e The John Evan Band, dal 1963 al 1967, e sarebbe poi divenuto membro dei Jethro Tull dopo che Glenn Cornick decise di abbandonarla, facendo così la sua prima apparizione nell'album Aqualung. Insieme a One for John Gee (che non fu inserita nell'album originale), Song for Jeffrey fu il primo singolo dei Jethro Tull per la Island Records. (it)
