Tuve la fortuna de ver a Wishbone Ash con esta alineación varias veces. Cada concierto era un poco diferente pero uniformemente excelente. Wishbone Ash viene de una epoca donde se esperaba que los músicos fueran eso, músicos de verdad. Esta banda asombró hasta a sus contemporaneos tocando estilos variados desde boogie basado en blues a progresivo y hasta folk. También aventandole un buen de jazz.
Esto podría hacerse un relajo con tanto tipo de música, pero tratandose de Wishbone Ash que tienen un gran estilo y son músicos excelentes, y sobre todo con los guitarristas Andy Powell y Ted Turner cuando se avientan sus solos, que con ellos no hay pierde.
Bueno aquí se los dejo para que lo escuchen, es una de las bandas mas subvaloradas de la escena del rock, bueno... long live rock'n'roll!
I've had the good fortune to have seen Wishbone Ash in this
configuration of musicians several times from arenas to a high school.
Every performance was a bit different but uniformly excellent. Wishbone
Ash comes from an era where it was expected that musicians have chops.
The band one upped their 70's contemporaries by playing several styles
of music from blues based boogie to progressive to folk. Often some jazz
was thrown in for good measure.
This could spell a mess but Wishbone
Ash was well grounded and had great style when playing and especially
when guitarists Andy Powell and Ted Turner soloed.
Live Dates
captures the sound and vibe of Wishbone Ash live. The stylistic
diversity is quite clear from their take on boogie numbers including
Jail Bait, Lady Whiskey and the cover of Baby What You Want Me To Do.
These tracks are surrounded by the pop of Blowin' Free, the progressive
rock of The Pilgrim, Phoenix, and Warrior along with the quieter English
folk of Ballad Of The Beacon.
Wishbone Ash turned conventions
upside down with Martin Turner's bass often carrying the melody of a
song as guitars harmonized and set the rhythmic tone along with drummer
Steve Upton.
Rather than perform carbon copies of album tracks
Wishbone Ash frequently improvises or at the least revises solos and in
some cases arrangements.
Besides being a great live album it is
also a good place to start with Wishbone Ash. Soon after this part of
the band's career guitarist Ted Turner left the band and the diversity
of styles would become less pronounced.
If you want to get an idea of smart rock in the 70's this is a good place to start.
