Todd for sure, but in the early 70's the other main name marked off as a one-man band - or multi-track player - was Emitt Rhodes, who one rock magazine acknowledged at last, earlier this year.

Literally playing one man band style:  the third of Blue Horizon Records' original British signings,(after Fleetwood Mac, and Chicken Shack): the great and late Duster Bennett, who is best known for writing Mac's and so Gary Moore's Jumpin' At Shadows.  Anybody who likes the blues/blues-rock I urge you to get hold of the albums of outttakes, demos and live recordings (including some onemanband stuff) by Bennett, also called Jumpin' At Shadows, issued in the mid 90's by Indigo Records in the UK. Some of his later recordings (alas he died in a motorway crash in 1976 returning to London from a Manchester gig), have the former Crimson rhythm section backing him.

 

And another was the one hit wonder Don Partridge (Rosie was no. 1 in the UK 3 decades ago). He street-busked for the whole year in this part of Leicestershire in the late 80's, still doing the onemanband stuff.

Hey! So did I exactly! I first saw the single "Sweet Dreams". It had a dark black and white cover with just Ian anderson on it and the name "Jethro Tull". And I thought: "this guy has a strange name"


What about Uriah Heep??


 Of course, Uriah Heep came from the Charles Dickens book 'David Copperfield'.


As for Jethro Tull, god only knows...




Did Jethro Tull not invent some kind of farming device ??

Can't remember, he was a famous agriculturist though!

Yeah I never had that with Heep. However, I reckon a high proportion of people have with Jethro Tull.

Perhaps the most famous is Alice Cooper- or Vincent Furnier.
