 Wishbone Ash Album Reviews
By the end of 1970, Wishbone Ash was conceived, and containing only six songs, two of which longer than 10 minutes, the album was obviously rooted in a jam-era, but still the band’s intricate melodies and quite polished solos guaranteed you’d rarely accuse them of self-indulgence.
Like many sources have it, Wishbone Ash isn’t overwhelmingly innovative, nor very flashy, on first listen, but the band had a subtlety, knack for intricate melodies and a unique approach that set them apart from the start onwards.
Wishbone Ash didn’t have these extremes, and on Argus, you basically get one successful track after another, and while they’re not all stellar (“Blowin’ Free” employs that thumping mid-tempo boogie – but to fine results), they’re still quite amazing 32 years later.
