The 1990s singer Ian Anderson thought was even out of Pavarotti’s league: “Very fine”Ian Anderson is one of those artists who seems to have an encyclopaedic knowledge of every genre to ever grace the airways. The way that they incorporated different styles and sounds into their music really peeled back the curtain and allowed him to witness how such musical experimentation could be achieved. The first time Anderson had come across his work was when he was performing in San Diego. Evidently a fan, Boe had wished Anderson a good run of shows and also left behind his phone number. This is why his record is included in Anderson’s all-time favourites, as the Jethro Tull frontman said he may even trump Pavarotti.
