While the first album 'This Was' was still strongly influenced by the blues-loving guitarist Mick Abrahams, Anderson brought in folk-rock, classical and jazz elements on 'Stand Up' after Abrahams' departure and from then on formed the typical Tull sound with Martin Barre on guitar.
Songwriting and the musical direction were now in Anderson's hands, whereby he steered the band sustainably in a more progressive direction. The album, which is particularly close to Anderson's heart, made it to No. 1 in the British charts and brought the band gold status in the US.
