More than 28 years after they were named the "Brightest
Hope" and the "Best New Group" in the influential British
music publications Melody Maker and Sounds, Wishbone Ash's
following and influence continue unabated. Founding members
Andy Powell and Ted Turner were voted among the top 20
guitarists of all time by Rolling Stone Magazine, and the
group's albums continue to be strong sellers around the
world.
The story of Wishbone Ash began in July of 1966, when
Martin and Glen Turner met Steve Upton. The Turner
brothers' drummer had just quit their band, and when they
learned that Upton had played professionally in England and
Germany, they asked him to join them.
The new trio called themselves the Empty Vessels, after the
proverbial saying, "empty vessels make More...
Review about Wishbone Ash Best Rock Band You Never Heard Of | Reviewer: Kevin Caldwell
------ About artist/band Wishbone Ash
Absolutely...Argus is oen of the best rock albums ever recorded, and the 'Bone always rocked. Then why does no one know who they are? Beats me...them and Rory Gallagher were so good, yet never made the "big" time.

------ About the song Persephone performed by Wishbone Ash
this song by wishbone is a master piece. No doubt they created an out-of-this-world rock ballad (basically). The texture,Theme, lyrics, total composition and sweet-melancholy guitars in the song have really delivered an excellent n mind grabbing impact for listeners.Guitar works really match with the lyrics n main theme. Great Work.

------ About the song Time Was performed by Wishbone Ash
The past can often haunt us. You remember the good times and the bad. And now, although it is the present, it's as though we are still chained by our memories, trying to figure out why things were good when they were, and what went wrong along the way. When your heart weighs heavy, you've got to be able to say "there is more than just what once was." Think of your past experiences as a stepping stone to today. Do you step into the future, or turn around. Brilliant song.

------ About the song Phoenix performed by Wishbone Ash
This is a Wishbone Ash classic so often the centrepiece of their live shows. What makes this track so special is that the band performed it better live. Few bands could live with the mark one or mark two performances live in the 1970's epitomised by the way this number was played

Living Proof Wishbone Ash Still Rock | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song Living Proof performed by Wishbone Ash
Saw the band in Aberdeen late 2005. The show was awesome. Living Proof was one of the highlights of the show. Andy Powell is still one of the coolest guys on the planet.
One of great Wishbone tracks written by Laurie Wisefiled et al. I believe. Wishbone are overdue a comeback (I know they've never been away) - but another shot at the top. Kids today would be gobsmacked at the classic Ash tracks - of which Living Proof is undoubtably one.

Most underrated group of all time?... | Reviewer: Michael
------ About artist/band Wishbone Ash
I'll keep it short and sweet. I own about 5 of the 37 albums Wishbone Ash has released---basically the first five. The album "Argus" is so phenomenally good, I play it constantly and haven't really attempted to "get into" the other albums as of yet. "Argus" is an extremely cohesive album with some of the most melodic and amazing guitar work you may have never heard. The original album or CD had seven songs(all nice and long so WA can really let loose), while the newly remastered CD has a few extra non-original tracks.
If you're a fan of great guitar work(and great songs), buy this album.
If you are a guitarist, you MUST buy this album. You can thank me later...
